Sensational SHELBY, a two-year-old black and white lovebug, entered the kill-happy ACC as a STRAY who had just given birth, but she came in WITHOUT her kittens. Despite the loss of her babies, this “VERY FRIENDLY, SWEET GIRL” quickly charmed an ACC staffer, who writes: “Shelby slid into a face smush with her paws at her side as I gave her some good head scratches; it was like she just went limp with love! Once I tried to leave, she reached out her arm to me and rolled over. It was too cute! If Shelby sold seashells down by the seashore, she would sell out! She’s so friendly, you just can’t say no. Say “yes” to adopting Shelby today!” But the ACC will silence poor Shelby’s purrs forever at noon tomorrow, all because she SNEEZED! Please save this EXCELLENT young kitty. Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt spectacular SHELBY! if you can’t save SHELBY yourself, please SHARE her sad story and PLEDGE for her rescue!
