REX – A1064430
Safe - 2-9-2016 Manhattan
*** SAFE 02/09/16 *** REX IS A LOVER BOY WHO NEEDS A HEAP OF HELP TONIGHT…..REX was definitely looking for someone to rescue him!! He let a stranger pet him and pick him up…and even at the shelter he is at the front of his cage looking for attention and head butting!! REX is AVERAGE rated and already NEUTERED. He was obviously someone’s pet dumped on the street and his physical condition shows it. REX is FIV positive and needs help strengthening his immune system and he needs dental help pronto! The ACC doesn’t hold out much hope for REX, but we do!! With his dental issues solved, regular meals and a warm and loving home, REX will do just fine. But he needs to get out of the ACC before noon tomorrow!! FIV cats can live with other cats as long as they are non-agressive. Many people have mixed households of FIV and non-FIV cats with no problems. IF REX HAS TOUCHED YOUR HEART, PLEASE APPLY TO FOSTER OR ADOPT NOW!! The Help Desk can offer assistance at [email protected]
