*SAFE 08/15/15 RETURNED BACK TO THE ACC AFTER SEVERAL YEARS! – Orange was surrendered to our shelter because his family could not afford him anymore. He came in with a huge abscess on his face. His cheek was so swollen, his eye was forced shut. His abscess was lanced and drained and is in the process of healing. Orange is such a good kitty, the vet didn’t even have to sedate him during this process! He feels much better now and is ready to finish recovering in a comfortable home!
