MS KITTY – A1049039

*** GONE 08/28/15 *** DUMPED FOR LITTERBOX ISSUES, THIS 14 YEAR OLD SENIOR IS NOW SCARED TO DEATH AND WAS PUNISHED WITH A NEW HOPE RATING FOR HER FEAR – HELP MS KITTY ESCAPE THE JAWS OF DEATH AND HAVE A HAPPY ENDING TO HER STORY! MS KITTY is 14 years old. She has lived with other cats and is said to be gentle around children. MS KITTY’s owner cited personal problems as his reason to abandon his long-time pet, but then we read that she has had some litterbox issues to which she was never taken to the vet to see if there was a medical problem to cause it. Or maybe this person has so many problems they didn’t clean her litterbox. At any rate, MS KITTY deserves a chance. She is devastated by being dumped and is not friendly at all to the ACC staff. This doesn’t mean she will be this way in a home. New hope ratings are so unfair because a perfectly wonderful cat like MS KITTY can lose it in a scary place like the ACC. MS KITTY is already spayed and needs a rescue angel tonight. CAN YOU GIVE A SWEET SENIOR GIRL A RETIREMENT HOME, RATHER THAN LETTING THE EUTH TECHS HAVE HER AT NOON FRIDAY?? CONTACT A NEW HOPE RESCUE TO PULL HER TO SAFETY AND I BET YOU WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW BEST FRIEND!!!
