***SAFE 09/13/17*** HAPPY WAS SAID TO BE A REALLY FRIENDLY STRAY BUT NOW THAT HE TESTED **FIV POSITIVE** HE ONLY HAS TIL NOON TO BE RESCUED!! Happy appears to be a seasoned guy from the streets of Brooklyn who was known for being quite friendly. He was brought in because he has several wounds on his body, and though he’s reportedly a sweet kitty, he’s not too happy being in the shelter environment. We’d love to see this senior fella find placement as soon as possible so that he can rest and heal up before heading to his forever home. PLEASE GIVE HAPPY A HAPPY ENDING TO HIS STORY BY RESERVING HIM BY NOON THROUGH A NEW HOPE RESCUE!
