OTHELLO – 23698
Safe - 4-7-2018 Manhattan Rescue: Anjellicle Cats Rescue Please honor your pledges: http://bit.ly/Othello23698
SAFE 4/7/18 OTHELLO and housemates were found in an apartment after owner died. They had been there for 2 weeks without food or water and some were locked in cages. Please consider helping him and possibly a housemate. Meet Minestrone, Flannel, and Othello: The answer is that they are all beautiful cats at MACC in need of some TLC! These cats came from the same home with quite a few other cats, but do not need to stay together. These three cuties have had poor or no appetites since coming in, and would benefit from a calm, quiet place where they can relax, decompress, and put on some weight!! Please help them today!
