SNOWBALL – A0829210
HOW UNFAIR CAN LIFE BE? BEAUTIFUL SNOWBALL RETURNED TO ACC!!!! A volunteer who met SNOWBALL WRITES: Snowball tiptoes carefully around the room like a private investigator. The second I picked him up, he was purring nonstop and touched his little pink nose to me curiously. At just 7 months old, he has a quirky way of chasing after toys – more like a little brother following the big bro around, rather than chasing and pouncing on the prowl. Snowball weighs only 6 lbs and would be the perfect pet! Come take him home.' SNOWBALL NEEDS YOU! ONE OF HIS OWNERS passed away and the other has brought him to ACC because of 'personal problems'. This has affected SNOWBALL poorly and he's become lethargic and ill. SNOWBALL needs out tonight-aside from the fact that he is ill from stress, and grief, the ACC plan on ending his life tomorrow. Please don't let that happen! This is a cat that had been adopted from ACC and RETURNED THERE! How could anyone do this??? But they have-and now it's up to someone to step up for this lovely betrayed boy who needs you. It is unclear from the medical notes if perhaps SNOWBALL is diabetic, but since he was given insulin, he may be. This is not a big deal and is easy to administer…but SNOWBALL will die without you…won't you please agree to foster or adopt this boy? He's been through so much and doesn't deserve to be killed after all he's been through. SAVE SNOWBALL TONIGHT
