ROCKSTAR – A1075828
Safe - 6-7-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
***SAFE 06/07/16*** NEW HOPE ANGEL NEEDED! Everyone has given up on 2 year old ROCKSTAR. His previous “owners” abandoned him at the shelter for “behavior issues”. The ACC couldn’t even be bothered enough to take a proper photo of him, and have LISTED HIM TO DIE AT NOON TOMORROW! Rockstar’s previous “owners” clearly did not have any experience with cats. This poor boy was never held or brushed. He’s never been taken on a car ride which means he’s likely never seen a vet. He’s probably never been given a toy to play with. Is it any wonder he would run and hide in fear at home? Something smells fishy about that situation. Rockstar needs an angel tonight who knows a thing or two about the proper way to care for a cat. With some patience, love, and time surely someone could turn things around for this handsome guy! Rockstar needs a NEW HOPE RESCUE to pull him to safety. If you’d like to offer to FOSTER/ADOPT Rockstar, please contact the Help Desk at [email protected] to being working with a New Hope partner. Please don’t wait. HE ONLY HAS UNTIL NOON TOMORROW! Act right now!
