PATCHES – A1077876
Safe - 7-2-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
**SAFE 07/02/16** Why clean the litter box when it’s easier to just dump the cat into the ACC and never look back? It’s incredible, the sorts of people one shares a planet with, and whoever owned PATCHES is certainly fortunate that they are able to remain anonymous. PATCHES is a neutered 9-year-old gent who has been having litter box accidents. His notes indicate that he was not taken to a vet to figure out what was wrong with him, probably because it was cheaper and easier to just dump him at the so-called “shelter.” That’s a terrible way to repay PATCHES for a lifetime of love and devotion, but selfish people don’t think about things like that. This delightful fellow needs a FOSTER/ADOPTER to step up for him tonight!
