***SAFE 09/18/17***ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SWEETHEART SPARKLE….LET’S MAKE IT COUNT!!! A volunteer writes, “Sparkle may be about 4 years old, but no one told him that; he still thinks he’s a kitten. He kept calling for attention every time I walked past, so I couldn’t help but make friends with him. Sparkle loves scratches behind the ears, and I think he’d still have me there if he’d had his way. He kept pushing the door open for more when I tried to walk away. This sweet boy would make for one loyal, affectionate companion.”
FOUR YEAR OLD SPARKLE has a large lump on his right front leg which could be an old healed fracture. He does show some lameness. He also has patches of alopecia that are most likely flea related. This special boy is friendly and allows all handling. NEUTERED AND A TOTAL PACKAGE. MAKE HIM YOUR PURRSONAL PAL…ONLY HAS TIL NOON TOMORROW.
