ISAAC – A1061565
Safe - 1-12-2016 Brooklyn
**SAFE 01/1216** Gentle 13-year-old ISAAC is a neutered pet who had been living with his most recent owner for the past four years. That person woke up two days after Christmas, said “I am allergic to this cat,” and promptly brought Isaac to the ACC. This exceptional boy earned an AVERAGE rating and inspired a positive LOVE NOTE from a volunteer: “A volunteer writes: This older gentleman who is a gray tabby mix, has a fluffy face with gorgeous green eyes and he watches you to see if you will come and stop by. Right now he is not in his glory, his fur needs to grow back and he will become the beautiful kitty he is meant to be. He will stroll by to see if you will give him some love. He needs a family who will take the time and care to comb his lovely fur coat, once it grows back. You can’t help falling in love with his sweet face, that you can’t help rubbing. He may be an older kitty but he still has lots of love to offer. Another volunteer writes: What a handsome cat Isaac is! He’s a bit shy, so he tends to sleep in the back of his cubby, but when you reach in to pet him and he looks up at you, his looks are striking. You have to use your imagination to picture what he’ll look like once all his fur grows back, and anyone who wants to adopt Isaac will have to be willing to brush him daily to keep him looking like a movie star! But he’s okay with that. As long as you’re quiet and gentle with him, Isaac is purr-fectly willing to let you rub his neck and whisper sweet nothings in his ears. He would be a wonderful companion for someone with a quiet, warm and loving home.” Please advocate fiercely for ISAAC tonight, because this superstar needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to save his life!
