JASPER – A1091787
Safe - 10-12-2016 Manhattan
***SAFE 10/12/16*** JASPER WAS LIVING IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING AND HIS FRIENDLY BEHAVIOR WAS ENOUGH TO BE CAUGHT AND BROUGHT TO THE KILL SHELTER! JASPER is a very handsome ginger boy. He is about 2 years old and was most likely a cat whose owner moved away and left behind. He was living in an apartment building and someone found that he was friendly so they picked him up and took him to the ACC. Of course this person most likely figured that would be the place he would find a new home or have his owner find him – WRONG – the ACC does nothing for these cats and all they did was infect him with the cold germs. Now that JASPER has a cold, they will just kill him. JASPER NEEDS A HERO – WILL YOU BE THE ONE TO GET HIM TO SAFETY TONIGHT? PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] FOR RESCUE INFO NOW.
