**SAFE 06/30/16** GORGEOUS AND AFFECTIONATE GINGERBREAD MAN NEEDS YOU-BE NICKELS’ HERO! Four year old, friendly, fab fella, Nickels is yet another darling and purrfect companion betrayed by his former family. This darling boy was dumped at the shelter due to “personal problems.” He lived with his former family since he was a kitten. They noted that he would do his biz outside the litterbox but never bothered to take him to a vet to see what may be causing the problem. They also never bothered to get this great guy neutered. On top of all that, they fed him crappy 9 Lives dry food. UGH! Nickels is a total feline package–affectionate, relaxed, gentle and gets along with everyone including kids. Everyone knows orange boys are the sweetest kitties around and we know Nickels is no exception to this rule. He is slated to become another sad ACC stat when tomorrow afternoon rolls around UNLESS SOMEBODY STEPS UP TO BE HIS RESCUE ANGEL. Are YOU ready to BE THE SOMEBODY by opening your heart and home to this great guy? We know you won’t be disappointed. Please reserve this darling gingerbread man online or contact a NH rescue so he can be delivered directly to you. Email us and we will help you be Nickels hero–[email protected] Don’t forget fostering saves lives so let us know if you can offer temporary or purrmanent safe haven to this sweet, low maintenance boy. Make the call for NIckel’s NOW. Save a life. Make a difference in the life of a homeless kitty.
