**SAFE 08/06/16** NO MAN IS AN ISLAND….nor should any cat be either…… ISLAND is a two year old male who has clearly been on his own…..He is one of many fearful cats, minding their own business, brought into the ACC. Hard to believe that there are people who do not welcome cats in their neighborhood but there are….so innocents like ISLAND are trapped and endangered. MANY CATS LIKE ISLAND TURN AROUND WITH TIME AND PATIENCE….unfortunately, they will not get that at the ACC. It’s up to YOU, to offer to contact a NEW HOPE rescue and FOSTER, so that ISLAND can get that chance at freedom……If no one speaks up, ISLAND will become another notch on the ACC’s belt…..DON’T LET THAT HAPPEN! CONTACT A NEW HOPE RESCUE TONIGHT AND FOSTER!! If you need help contacting a NEW HOPE rescue, email us at [email protected]
