NILES – A1091967
Gone - 10-4-2016 Manhattan
***GONE 10/04/16*** NILES IS A SHY BOY WHO IS PERFECTLY HEALTHY – BUT THE ACC DOESN’T CARE – THEY WILL KILL HIM ANY WAY! NILES’ owner knew and said his cat was shy around strangers. So what does he do? Dump him in a scary shelter with tons of strangers!! And what does the ACC do? Punish poor NILES with a NEW HOPE ONLY rating because he is afraid!. NILES lived with children and was a great cat. He loved to follow his owner around and loved to play with his cat toys. Yet this owner didn’t care enough to take NILES along when he moved and instead he went to a non – pet friendly residence and dumped his cat. NILES will be just fine once out of the ACC. He is a good boy and is only traumatized by the shelter. GIVE HIM A CHANCE TONIGHT TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING TO HIS STORY. CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO ADOPT OR FOSTER NILES.

In the home Niles will follow the owner around and prefers to stay in same room as the owner. Niles eats Pedigree brand dry cat food and is open feed. He is litter box trained and uses an uncovered litter box with clumping litter. Niles has never been given a scratching post so the owner does not know if he will use it or not.
