Segan's Place

We learned of Segan's plight on an October Sunday.  The man needed our help.  Rescued five years earlier by the Closter Animal Welfare Society (CLAWS) he had found himself in the Brooklyn Animal Care Center (ACC).  Segan had been surrendered there by his former owner (of five years) after he received notice by his landlord

Our CLAWS contact informed us he was nine years old and was "intact."   He would need to have surgery before we picked him up.   The following "mugshot" was our first introduction to Segan and serves as the first important lesson of adopting shelter animals: Don't use the pictures they post as a way to evaluate their beauty:

Much of what we knew about Segan up to this point was gleaned from this document, the paperwork provided to us by ACC.
