PINKY – A1055668
Gone 10-29-2015 Brooklyn
**GONE 10/29/15** SECOND CHANCE FOR PURRFECT PINKY!! TWELVE-YEAR-OLD PINKY is a NEUTERED gent who came to the ACC as a stray….but obviously, he has not spent the last 12 years looking out for himself. Nor did he neuter himself—this boy is someone’s lost pet! Look into those soft green eyes and imagine poor PINKY, searching for his people and trying to figure out how to get back home; it’s heartbreaking, isn’t it? Unfortunately it has been found that PINKY is diabetic and will need a competent vet evaluation and insulin therapy. Diabetes in cats is very manageable so it should not be a death sentence for PINKY!! Please consider FOSTERING or ADOPTING this special needs senior!! Please share him to the moon and back!
