***GONE 06/02/15*** HEADBUTTER ALERT! “FRIENDLY, PLAYFUL, AND AFFECTIONATE” DOG-LOVING OLDER TORTIE, DUMPED DUE TO A MOVE, HAS A GREAT BEHAVIOR RATING BUT WILL NOW DIE BECAUSE SHE SNEEZED – PLEASE GRANT HERSHEY A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Exquisite 8-year-old tortoiseshell girl HERSHEY was BETRAYED by her old owners, who stuffed this “GOLDEN OLDIE” into the kill-happy ACC when they moved to new cat-free digs, leaving poor Hershey to fend for herself. At home, Hershey was the PURRfect pet: “Hershey is shy with new people for the first few days. She lived with small and large dogs and was relaxed, affectionate, playful, and tolerant with them. She opens cabinets. Hershey’s owner describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, shy, quiet, and medium energy. She spends her time in comfy places. She makes toys out of anything on the floor.” Hershey even HEADBUTTED her way to a near-perfect AVERAGE behavior rating, but this sweetheart will DIE AT NOON TOMORROW, another INNOCENT VICTIM of the notorious ACC kitty cold and a badly broken shelter system. Please let Hershey headbutt her way into your heart. Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt older tortie lovebug HERSHEY! if you can’t save HERSHEY yourself, please SHARE her sad story and PLEDGE for her rescue!
