SHADOW – A1064290
Safe - 2-21-2016 Brooklyn
**SAFE 02/21/16** GIVEN AS A GIFT! Shadow is a spayed 5-year-old sweetie who was gifted to her former owners, and they have “re-gifted” her to the ACC. The shelter doesn’t care that this AVERAGE-rated girl loves to play with stuffed toys, lived with kids, and is utterly adoptable. All they see is one more cat to pump full of poison and stuff into a plastic bag, tomorrow afternoon. Please read Shadow’s great volunteer comments and then advocate to save her life, tonight! “A volunteer writes: I’m a little bit shy but I so want to meet and get to know you! If you will be a little patient with me you will be rewarded with soft head-butts, purring and love! I’m told I’m quite pretty – I hope you think so! Won’t you come by the shelter and say “hello”? Maybe we could be friends!” A FOSTER/ADOPTER CAN SAVE SHADOW — PLEASE FIND ONE FOR HER!
