NENA – A1048259
8-22-2015 Manhattan
**GONE 08/22/15** SECOND CHANCE FOR NENA!! The past few days have been a whirlwind for 6-year-old NENA, and not in a good way. She went from being a family pet, to being a shelter cat who needs a New Hope rescue to pull her, because someone decided to bring her to the ACC rather than to a vet. NENA is not feeling her best, she seems to be constipated, and her owner surrender notes mention that she vomits after she eats. New Hope rescues know that Nena is there and in trouble, but they need foster/adoptive homes or they can’t help! Please share her sad story, please pledge toward her care, and please step up for NENA, tonight!

Reaction to touch: Nena does not allow the stroke, hisses, and swats at the assessor’s hand. Placement determination: NH ONLY Nena is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room. She is stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting.
