Safe - 10-28-2016 Brooklyn
***SAFE 10/28/16*** TWO YEAR OLD PUMPKIN WAS DUMPED FOR ALLERGIES – AND NOW HE NEEDS A HERO TO SAVE HIS LIFE TONIGHT! PUMPKIN’S owner brought his cat in stating allergies were the reason for the surrender. Whether we believe that or not is irrelevant. The main thing is that PUMPKIN has only until 12 NOON tomorrow to find a new owner who will this time keep him as a furever kitty and not and “until” kitty. PUMPKIN is EXPERIENCE rated and allowed all petting and attention but was a little nervous. That is normal for any cat in a shelter. PUMPKIN loves to play and chase toys and balls around and was said to love back rubs. THIS CAT IS A PURRFECT ADDITION TO ANY HOME – ADOPT HIM TONIGHT AND YOU WILL HAVE A NEW BEST FRIEND WHO WILL REWARD YOU WITH ENDLESS PURRS!!
