***SAFE 02/13/16 *** SAD AND SCARED SHAIGGE–BETRAYED HOUSEPET NEEDS RESCUE ANGEL! Shaigge is a handsome, two year old terrific tabby who was a faithful feline friend to his former family since kittenhood. But that didn’t stop them from dumping him at the kill-happy shelter for the BS “home size” excuse. Really, how much room does one ten pound kitty take up–sad sigh! Naturally, poor Shaigge is stressed and unhappy in his small, cold cage, wasn’t too happy during his behavior eval and got slapped with a NH rating. This handsome fella is already neutered, up to date on his vaccines and been around kids and did just fine. He would probably do best in a quiet home and needs a bit of time to decompress and trust people. Can you open up your heart and home to this sweet, misunderstood guy? Let a rescue know if you can help. Transportation is available. Email our help desk [email protected] for assistance. Don’t forget that fostering saves lives so let us know if you can offer Shaigge temporary safe haven. this terrific tabby only has tonight. We are his only hope. Don’t let him down. Make the call for Shaigge NOW!!!
