ORBIT – A1068979
Safe - 4-12-2016 Manhattan
**SAFE 04/12/16** COMPELLING! Look at those eyes, and you too will be drawn in by ORBIT’s beauty. This guy was adopted from another shelter, neutered, and has been living as a pet until quite recently. His former owner brought him to the ACC because she is moving into a residence where the people are unwilling to pop an antihistamine, and instead think it’s far better that her cat should be killed. Rotten “solution,” eh, especially for a nice AVERAGE-rated boy like ORBIT. Please don’t let that awful fate come to pass—advocate widely for ORBIT, tonight!
