CUPCAKE – A1038885
6-9-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 06/09/15*** SWEET CUPCAKE IS IN URGENT NEED OF MEDICAL HELP – BUT THE ACC WON’T GIVE HIM A CHANCE – THEY ARE KILLING HIM TUESDAY. CUPCAKE is a 2 year old stray boy who came into the shelter in bad shape. He has difficulty walking, has head tremors and corneal scarring that the ACC vet says may cause him to be blind. He is somewhat dehydrated and may have other issues like infection but the ACC decided not to bother to see what was wrong but to list him instead. We have seen many cats misdiagnosed when they come out of the ACC so we know that a competent vet should be able to help find out what is wrong with Cupcake. Fostering is a way to help get CUPCAKE the care he needs. The shelter didn’t even bother to give him a behavior evaluation. That showed they had no intention of helping this poor cat. CONTACT A RESCUE NOW IF YOU CAN HELP CUPCAKE. DON’T LET HIM BE ANOTHER STATISTIC.
