GRACIE – A1052930
Gone 10-1-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 10/01/15*** GRACIE is not a happy girl! The 10 years young kitty, was surrendered due to “relocation and the daughter being allergic”. Too bad the allergies surfaced after the owner had owned her for 10 YEARS! GRACIE is nervous and tense in the shelter, though who can blame her? She’s been ripped from her only home and now faces DEATH! She doesn’t tolerate attention or petting so they have given her a RESCUE ONLY rating! So she needs a kind soul, who’s willing to understand what GRACIE has been through and why she’s so frightened. Contact a NEW HOPE RESCUE NOW and offer to FOSTER or ADOPT this girl. Let the rest of her life be the BEST OF HER LIFE!
