***SAFE 10/25/16*** SKIPPY AND SHELLY(SAFE!) WERE DUMPED DUE TO “PET CONFLICT!” Apparently, SKIPPY didn’t get along with the other 4 cats in the home. Depending upon the time in-between any new cat entering the home, it’s likely that this owner just didn’t give SKIPPY time to adjust to each cats arrival! But no… it was just easier to DUMP this 3 year old at a HIGH KILL SHELTER! AND to contradict any behavior stated by the owner, SKIPPY received a terrific AVERAGE RATING! SO , who do you believe? This sweet, and GREAT behavior rated cat? OR, a IRRESPONSIBLE, owner who would DUMP their cat at a place that wants him DEAD? You be the JUDGE! But don’t wait long…or the owner may just get her wish!
