***SAFE 10/25/15***THIRD CHANCE FOR THIS LOVELY LADY!! SUPER SWEET BEGINNER SENIOR NEEDS RETIREMENT HOME! What is the reward for a life well lived? For many cats, there is the long span of golden years where loving family members cater the household routine around the comfort of a senior best friend. There are many people reading this, who have done exactly that for their cats: gentler play sessions, age-appropriate food, nutritional supplements. Twelve year old sweetheart, Casssidy has missed out on what she deserves. This precious pet was dumped into the ACC, underweight and frightened, stripped of her dignity and tomorrow, of her life. This is wrong on so many levels. Despite needing follow up vet care, this girl is a beginner rated angel and deserves to live!!! Please open up your heart and home to this love. It’s time to turn things around for her and make sure she gets what she so richly deserves. Find Cassidy a loving home, tonight. This special girl has been diagnosed with hyperthyroid-ism–treatable with medication. Please don’t let it be a death sentence. Make the call for this beautiful beginner NOW!!!! Save a life. Make a difference.
