AMHERST – A1032038
5-1-2015 Manhattan
***SAFE 05/01/15*** ADORABLE BLACK AND WHITE GIRL HAS A LOVING VOLUNTEER PLEA AND ROLLS OVER FOR TUMMY RUBS – PLEASE GRANT AMHERST A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Darling two-year-old black and white beauty AMHERST suffered through a SPAY-ABORT procedure at the hands of the kill-happy ACC, where she was dumped as a STRAY. Amherst quickly caught the eye of an ACC volunteer, who lovingly writes: “Cute as button and petite and sweet as well. This little angel is just calling for you to come and get her. She makes a perfect roommate and she needs a lovely home to call her own. She is inquisitive and playful and would love to stretch out in your living room. Whisk her away today.” Amherst rocked a near-perfect behavior rating of AVERAGE for the way she loved being petted – she even ROLLED OVER for tummy rubs! But the ACC will kill this pretty princess at noon tomorrow, all because of an easily treated kitty cold! Hasn’t Amherst suffered ENOUGH by losing her babies? She shouldn’t have to lose her life! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt charming AMHERST! If you can’t save AMHERST yourself, please SHARE her sad story and PLEDGE for her rescue!
