***SAFE 09/13/17***BE BILLY’S HERO!!! BILLY HAS A VIDEO! A volunteer writes: Although Billy is a bit nervous in the shelter, it only takes a few moments for him to warm up to a friendly face. When I approached him, he seemed shy at first, but after sniffing my hand and letting me pet him, he began enthusiastically purring and rolling around with happiness and affection.
BILLY and his housemate were dumped by their owner for having “too many pets.” He’s friendly, gentle, lived peacefully with kids, healthy and only 13 months old. RESERVE HIM BY NOON TOMORROW!!!!
