Safe - 10-26-2017 Manhattan
***SAFE 10/26/17***DELICIOUS SENIOR DREAMSICLE CREAMSICLE NEEDS YOU…WATCH HIS VIDEO! A volunteer says: This boy comes right to the front of the cage, rubbing himself along the bars (it’s his way of saying he’s excited to see you). He head butts and begs to be petted. He’s not quite sure about all the other cats around. He spends a lot of time standing and watching and taking notes on everything that is going on. Another volunteer writes: A poem about Max: Hey Max, Hey Hey, Hey Max. Max is cool, that’s no lie. With two big round lime eyes green as the grass in springtime. Hey Max, Hey Hey, Hey Max. Max is super nice. Personality as gold as his fur. Lightens your mood like the sunlight and brings the love to all boys and girls. Hey Max, Hey Hey, Hey Max. Max likes being an explorer. When he tries to learn he might ignore you. Don’t believe, come and see. He’s here at ACC so say Hey Max, Hey Hey, Hey Max.
MAX is 13 years old, a neutered boy whose owner dumped him because he travels and has no one to watch his cat. He’s at-risk tonight due to catching a curable kitty cold. Poor Max only has tonight. Must be reserved by noon tomorrow. DON’T LET HIM DOWN.
