***SAFE 09/23/16***MAKE EVERYDAY A SUNSHINE DAY WITH SUNNY THE TERRIFIC TUX KITTEN! Six month old, Sunny is yet another gentle kitten who was minding her own biz when someone thought they would be doing her a favor by scooping her up and dumping her at the kill happy shelter. In fact, her finder said she had been hanging around his property for a couple of weeks, never showing any aggression, tolerating handling and petting. Not sure what possessed this person to dump poor Sunny at the ACC. Upon intake, she tolerated all petting and handling. But then proceeded to get very shy and fearful. Who can blame her? But for that, this purrfectly healthy and beautiful kitten has been slapped with a NH rating. So please contact one of our rescue partners if you can offer this gentle kitten a new “leash” on life. She is looking for a kind, patient purrson who is willing to give her time to decompress from her shelter experience. PLEASE BE SUNNY’S SOMEBODY!!!Email our help desk for assistance–[email protected] Don’t forget fostering saves lives so let us know if you can offer temporary or purrmanent safe haven to Sunny. Make the call for this terrific tux kitten NOW!!! She only has tonight. We are her only hope. Don’t let her down.
