***SAFE 04/29/15*** RARE SECOND CHANCE FOR THIS SENIOR – PLEASE MAKE IT COUNT!!! FORMERLY AFFECTIONATE AND FRIENDLY 13-YEAR-OLD SENIOR GIRL, DUMPED FOR ALLERGIES, NOW WILL DIE DUE TO HER FEAR – PLEASE GRANT BELLA STAR A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! My heart breaks for beautiful 13-year-old senior BELLA STAR, a stunning gray and white elder-cat dumped into the kill-happy ACC for “ALLERGIES”. During her intake, Bella Star was FINE: “She was mostly relaxed during the intake. She was eager to come out of her carrier and was curious of the new environment. She allowed petting, scanning, and collaring.” But now FEAR has gotten the best of her, so Bella Star was PUNISHED with New Hope Only and fast-tracked to the noon kill list for tomorrow. At home, Bella Star was a DREAM to own: “She lives in a home with 3 adults and 3 children. She is usually respectful or tolerant around the children and she usually doesn’t play with them. She is gentle when she plays with her owner. She has lived in a home with a dog, but she has not interacted with the dog. She is an indoor only cat who mostly lies around throughout the day. She has been described as friendly, affectionate, cuddly, confident, quiet, mellow, and independent. She likes to follow her owner around or sit on her owner when home. She usually sleeps on her owner’s bed.” Please open your heart and home to this poor betrayed “GOLDEN OLDIE”! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt senior sweetheart BELLA STAR from the approved New Hope rescue groups! If you can’t save BELLA STAR yourself, please SHARE her sad story and PLEDGE for her rescue!
