ROCKY – A1066199
Safe - 3-3-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
***SAFE 03/03/16***”RELAXED AROUND KIDS” is what his former owner said about lovely ROCKY, right before walking away forever. ROCKY is 13 years young and is already neutered, so he is definitely ready and able to leave the shelter TOMORROW, with a FOSTER/ADOPTER! His biography shows a spry dude with plenty of unconditional love to give, but he would probably benefit from a senior checkup by a competent veterinarian. The thing ROCKY needs MOST in this world, is someone to open their HOME to him tonight! Who can use a little more love in their life? Look no further than ROCKY! Please advocate strongly for him, tonight!
