DASH – A1048794
8-27-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 08/27/15***DARLING DASH LOST HIS HOME DUE TO OWNER’S EVICTION—NEEDS RESCUE ANGEL! It happens so fast: one minute you are a 3 year old family pet going about your business and the next minute you find yourself in a kitty nightmare. Dash was a faithful feline friend who was a family member for his entire life. He lived with cats, kids and dogs. He has been treated for an intestinal blockage in the past year. Not sure why his owner decided to feed him Meow Mix instead of a healthy wet food diet. He also recently started going outside the litterbox. Instead of a visit to the vet, his owner decided to “cure” him by dumping this great guy at the kill happy shelter. Then the euth tech will “cure” him with a lethal injection when tomorrow afternoon rolls around. Sad sigh! This is a cat who was a loved family pet, and who lived happily with people. This is the kind of cat who should transition smoothly into a new home setting. Please don’t let personal problems of the owner, be the death of this fine cat. Advocate for darling Dash—who may need a follow up check up at a competent vet—although his shelter notes state his is perfectly healthy—another reason why this darling boy deserves to live. Please reserve Dash online or contact a NH rescue for assistance with delivery of this delish black and white dude directly to your doorstep. Dash only has tonight. We are his only hope. Don’t let him down.
