***SAFE 10/10/15*** PRECIOUS is her name and it suits her oh so well! This 10 year old, SPAYED girl was DUMPED, yes DUMPED at the ACC because of a move that did not include her. The previous owner had her since she was a kitten and NOW that he’s let her fur get matted and fed her so much that she’s obese, decided to DUMP her! And of course, she’s scared! She’s only been socialized around cats but not interacted much. So because of her fearfulness, they have made her a RESCUE ONLY! She needs a New Hope Rescue and YOU! PLEASE contact a NEW HOPE RESCUE and get this girl a home that will be for life, not just for now!
