***SAFE 08/06/15*** PRETTY PATCHES IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AND WAS BROUGHT IN AS A STRAY – SHE MAY BE PREGNANT – BUT THE ACC IS MORE INTERESTED NOW IN KILLING HER RATHER THAN FINDING HER A HOME. PATCHES came into the ACC as a stray, and upon intake she was friendly and at the front of the carrier nudging the front of it soliciting attention. She even gave head butts to the intake person when she extended her hand. But somewhere between then and when the assessor came along, poor PATCHES realized she is not in a good place and her fear took hold. NOW she is NEW HOPE rated for being afraid. PATCHES is PERFECTLY HEALTHY and has a distended abdomen that suggests a pregnancy. However the ACC vet techs cannot seem to figure out if this is true. YET THEY WILL CERTAINLY FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOLD HER DOWN AND GIVE HER A LETHAL INJECTION TO KILL HER!! DON’T LET THIS KILL HAPPY SHELTER END THE LIFE OF THIS POOR SCARED CALICO GIRL. CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO PULL HER TO SAFETY. SHE DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS. HELP HER TONIGHT!
