LITTLE BIG TALKER

Shin was one of the lucky ones. He and his siblings were born in the shed of a family that had no use for them. The kittens would have been destroyed, but were saved when they were only a few days old. Little Shin has turned into a friendly, happy boy. He loves to play with his toy mouse and loves to be petted but doesn't beg for attention. He likes to engage other cats and people but does so in a nonaggressive way. Now 6 months old, Shin is easygoing and loves to talk. He seems to be trying to tell the world about something, perhaps the fact that he very much wants to be out from behind this wire and into a loving home. Please lend him a sympathetic ear.

RYUJI MASUDO PHOTO
Anyone interested in adopting Shin, please E-mail ARK at Tokyoark@arkbark.net or call 080-6573-8560 (English), 080-6517-8913 (Japanese) for more information. Tokyo ARK is a nonprofit organization founded by Brit Elizabeth Oliver. It is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming abandoned animals. All animals are vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. Prospective new owners are asked to undergo a screening process.
