HELLEBORE – A1031470
4-4-2015
*** SAFE *** HELLEBORE CAME INTO THE SHELTER CALM AND ALLOWED HANDLING BUT HISSED ON HIS BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT – NOW HE IS NEW HOPE RATED!! Hellebore is a handsome cow kitty who was brought in as a stray. He is already neutered so this tells us he may be a lost pet or belonged to someone in the past. He was calm and had a soft body at intake and was said to have absolutely no aggressive behaviors. On his medical exam he was a bit grumpy, but who wouldn’t if you had strangers poking at you. So when the assessor showed up with the silly fake hand, Hellebore about had enough of this poking and prodding and hissed and crouched in the corner in fear – do you blame him??? This was all that was needed to slap this sweet boy with a NEW HOPE rating!! Now Hellebore will die for his fear and for having the common cold!! GIVE HELLEBORE A DEATH ROW PARDON TONIGHT – HE IS A FORMER HOUSE PET WHO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A FUREVER HOME – CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO SAVE HIM!!!
