Safe - 10-15-2016 Brooklyn
*** SAFE 10/15/16*** 7 MONTH OLD MOMMY WAS DUMPED AT THE SHELTER FOR PERFECTLY NORMAL CAT BEHAVIOR – NOW SHE WILL DIE BECAUSE SHE CAUGHT A COLD!! Some people should not have pets – period! MOMMY was dumped at the ACC because her owner termed her “destructive”. What was her crime? She knocked over items off the counter and scratched the laundry hamper. Oh, and they said she liked to sleep in high places……DUH…anyone who knows cat behavior would laugh at this excuse. This beautiful snow white KITTEN is only behaving in a normal way. She was said to be very friendly, playful, and affectionate and loves to play with cat toys. Gee what a surprise….this owner should have gotten a stuffed animal instead. MOMMY is a super cat but nervous in the shelter so they gave her a good EXPERIENCE rating.
