SINCERE – 11861
Safe - 11-15-2017 Manhattan
*** SAFE 11/15/17 *** A volunteer writes: One definition of the word sincere is “heartfelt.” This strikingly handsome fellow lives up to his name. More than just basic black, he has a tiny white patch of fur under one arm, which makes him one-of-a-kind. His eyes are the color of sunlight. Sincere greeted me with many, many cheek rubs. They were followed by head butts so strong, I thought he was part goat! He made me laugh! The love fest continued as he thoroughly sniffed my face, after which he showed his approval by licking my nose! After I passed inspection, I offered him a toy mouse. He pounced on it immediately and played happily. Affectionate, handsome and playful, Sincere is the best of all worlds. Adopt this sweet boy today.
