***GONE 07/15/15*** POOR JICAMA – HER OWNER LEFT THIS SENIOR LADY WITH A NEIGHBOR AND WENT OUT OF TOWN AND NEVER RETURNED!! The lady who was cat-sitting had her for 2 weeks and decided she didn’t want her so off to the ACC she went! JICAMA is a senior girl of about 13 years old. Jicama’s caretaker describes her as friendly, shy, affectionate, and medium energy. She followed her around and sought attention by rubbing on her legs. She likes to play with string, stuffed toys, and wand toys. Jicama was kept inside in the basement where she slept on a pillow She used her automatic litterbox and didn’t have accidents.
