MIDNIGHT – A1061354
Gone - 1-8-2016 Manhattan
*** GONE 01/08/16 *** MIDNIGHT has been DUMPED due to his previous owner stating he attacked people. Yet during assessment, the 8 year old was”easy to handle and allowed petting” and in general, had great behavior. But at the word of the previous owner, the ACC is going on the side of caution and has rated this guy EXPERIENCE. The owners also show their IGNORANCE in any knowledge of cats. They claim their UN-NEUTERED cat will spray to mark his territory… Like all cats that ARE NOT NEUTERED will do! Or have a UTI…but instead of bringing him to a VET or getting him NEUTERED they would rather DUMP him at a HIGH KILL SHELTER! PLEASE, give him a chance! Offer to FOSTER or ADOPT this guy!
