CARBONARA – 22981
Safe - 3-29-2018 Brooklyn Rescue: F.A.C.T Please honor your pledges: Paypal Address: [email protected]
SAFE 3/29/18 Carbonara is a sweet, older gentleman who could use some TLC to put on a bit of weight, as well as to get over his URI. He’s dehydrated, has dental disease, and is anemic, but has allowed handling and is a sweetheart so we’re hoping he’ll find a loving retirement home soon! He was found with 2 other cats from an abandoned apt due to an eviction. Please help this sweet guy today.
