CUPID – 9699
Safe - 10-24-2017 Brooklyn
** SAFE 10/24/2017 ** Sweet seniors ARROW and CUPID were gifted to their former owner 14 years ago and naturally assumed they had a loving, furrrever home. WRONG! When their former owner got a brand new human kiddo, they suddenly claimed to be allergic to cats or some such nonsense. These boys need a competent vet exam and loving arms around them!
