*** SAFE 06/24/15***SCARED AND SAD TABBY NEEDS NEW LEASH ON LIFE! When a person brings a stray cat to the ACC, do they they think they are doing that cat a favor? Onyx is 2 years old and ended up at the ACC because someone felt they were doing the right thing. This is a good girl whose stay at the shelter has merely been a formal waiting period before the grim finale. Onyx has made the euth list, which means that tonight is make-or-break for her. Will Onyx get enough traction to find a home, and a happy ending to the story? You are writing this story. Please do everything possible to make it a good one.
