SCOOTER – A0631983

Gone 11-22-2015 Brooklyn

Previous | Next

***GONE 11/22/15*** SWEET SCOOTER DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHY AFTER 10 YEARS HER NOW FORMER OWNER ABANDONED HER AT THE ‘SHELTER!’ NOW SHE NEEDS YOU TO RESCUE HER AND SAVE HER FROM DEATH! SCOOTER is a scared little girl, confused and bewildered. Her former owner, in poor health, returned SCOOTER after 10 years to ACC!!! How could someone do this? Don’t people think before they adopt a cat who will care for the cat in the event of their ill health or death? We can’t change what is except to offer SCOOTER life instead of death…for SCOOTER is giving the ACC a hard time-and earned a ‘New Hope’ rating. This isn’t fair-she’s scared, and hasn’t had an easy life, her former owner sounds as if she really didn’t put much thought into where SCOOTER would wind up-and now this girl needs a hero. Do you believe in Miracles? This little brown tabby who is hissy is only scared and upset…in a home, with time to destress and find out she’s really safe she would indeed become a Sugar girl…please don’t ignore her…she is a cat who needs you. It feels great to be needed, doesn’t it? Give SCOOTER a chance and save her life…and change your’s forever!
