***SAFE 06/07/16*** TERRIFIC TUX IN NEED OF HELP TONIGHT! TANK is handsome as can be! This 5 year old tuxedo boy found himself at the shelter because his “owner” didn’t want to take care of him anymore! He lived with another cat and a 9 year old child. His notes indicate that in his previous “home” Tank had potty troubles. Obviously his “owner” needs to learn a thing or two about taking care of a cat. For example, in order for a cat to use the litter box it has to be cleaned once in a while! But instead of taking the time to find the root of Tank’s problem, they just dumped him off at the ACC to DIE, and washed their hands of it! Disgusting! Tank is a bit shy at the shelter, but once given a moment to warm up will lean into petting and appreciates head rubs! He’s been given an EXPNOCHILD rating. Tank would do best in a home with a kitty parent who understand the RIGHT way to take care of a cat. The ACC WILL KILL HIM AT NOON TOMORROW if someone doesn’t swoop in and save him in time! Please advocate for him TONIGHT!
