CHIPPY – A1046150
8-31-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 08/31/15***A VOLUNTEER WRITES ABOUT CHIPPY: ‘At just six pounds, Chippy is a tiny speck of a cat. But what she lacks in size she makes up for in personality. This green-eyed beauty is calm, loving, and a bit shy-she used to be in a home, and she clearly misses the security and routine she once had. Her former owners had wonderful things to say about Chippy: she’s lived with young kids and plays gently with them, and she’s also bunked with other cats peacefully. Her energy level is medium, and she’s totally fine with being brushed, having her nails clipped, and getting baths. Chippy would love new pet parents who make her a beloved member of the household. Maybe you?’ CHIPPY tonight has made the dreaded ‘list’. This is a cat who has lived in a home her whole life and really needs you tonight-or her life may be over by this time tomorrow. ACC has been quick to euthanize-and this time of year is very frustrating as people aren’t fostering or volunteering or adopting because they are getting ready for that last vacation of summer or getting kids back to school. But in the meantime, cats never make it out of ACC alive. Please don’t let this wonderful ‘Senior’ girl have her life ended there-it’s not fair. She’s a gentle sweet chirping girl who deserves a wonderful home of her own-don’t you think? Please be her hero!
