VELMA – A1045633
8-4-2015 Brooklyn
***SAFE 08/02/15 *** VELMA AND FRIEND NATASHA ARE TWO MATURE LADIES WHO LOST THEIR HOME…..Not to a disaster but do to their owner moving…..VELMA is first to be listed but that shouldn’t be. She is 10 years young, SPAYED and got along great with NATASHA (A1045796). She does have some health issues that cats (and people) of a certain age can get. But a visit with a competent vet can get that sorted out….VELMA IS NOT GETTING OLDER, SHE’S GETTING BETTER!! But her time will run out if the ACC has their way tomorrow!! PLEASE CONSIDER FOSTERING OR ADOPTING VELMA (and maybe NATASHA) and give these ladies a loving new HOME!!
