PIXIE – A1045981
8-19-2015 Manhattan
** SAFE 08/19/15 ** A NEW HOPE rescue partner is needed to do, for PIXIE, what the ACC will not do: figure out why this gorgeous young lady walks with such hesitation. Nothing is obviously amiss with this miss, yet she is clearly in pain and prefers to hide away in her feral box. The ACC will “cure” her by killing her, and she may even be the first cat they drag into the euth room tomorrow. Did you know that if you FOSTER, you will save Pixie’s life and the rescue picks up the medical bills? Please PLEDGE toward her care and work with a rescue group if you can foster or adopt PIXIE, tonight!
