SHAY – A1058134
Safe 11-24-2015 Manhattan Rescue: Magnificat Cat Rescue Please honor your pledges: http://magnificatrescue.org/
**SAFE 11/24/15** BEGINNER-rated SHAY has a few issues going on, all of which center around her mouth. The shelter isn’t quite certain about what’s going on with her, but in typical fashion, they know how they want to handle it—they want to KILL her tomorrow. That awesome BEGINNER rating means SHAY can be adopted outright, but those medical bills suggest that her hero is more likely to be a FOSTER. Why is that? Because when a person fosters through a New Hope rescue group, the rescue would pick up the vet bills so the foster could concentrate on loving SHAY. She is 8 years old and deserves EVERY BIT of love & comfort that can come her way, but that ONLY happens if someone steps up to FOSTER or ADOPT her, tonight!
