UPDATE: "ANGUS" HAS BEEN ADOPTED INTO A GREAT HOME
HELP SAVE “ANGUS”
“Angus” was featured in the Belmont Citizen Herald on January 25th in a desperate attempt to find his owners after he was found laying motionless on Pleasant Street in 5 degree weather on January 17th. No one has replied and he now waits at City Cats in Arlington for hope. Normally, any animal that is picked up by Animal Control gets put up for adoption after aggressive efforts are made to find their owners fail. The problem with “Angus” is that he was brought in with what’s called, “a wound of unknown origin”. Because we have no vaccination history on him, he must be quarantined for 6 months. With no owner, he must either be quarantined at Belmont Animal Hospital (the town’s contract pound
facility) at the expense of the Town, or be euthanized.
“Angus” is an extremely affectionate, healthy, young male cat who captured the hearts of the Animal Control Officer and the folks at Belmont Animal Hospital. We desperately looked for a solution to keep “Angus” alive, so we contacted City Cats of Arlington and told them of his fate. They have agreed to take “Angus,” neuter him, care for him and hold him for the six months. What excellent people!
City Cats has accepted “Angus” into their facility with a promise that donations will help support and off-set the huge cost of housing, vaccinations, feeding, and neutering him for the next six months. City Cats is a small veterinary practice that specializes in cats. They took “Angus” because they care so much about animals and fell in love with him the moment they saw him.
Please help “Angus” and City Cats by sending a donation in his name. “Angus” desperately needs your help to get him through the six month quarantine so that he can be adopted out into a loving home. Please send a generous donation to:
City Cats
665 Massachusetts Ave.
Arlington, MA 02476
781-641-3673
Please be sure to indicate your donation is for “Angus”
Thanks so much to Belmont Animal Hospital and City Cats for caring so much and making such a difference to the strays that are brought through their doors far too often.
