TOMMY – A1053047
Gone 10-2-2015 Manhattan
**GONE 10/02/15** There’s a DANGEROUS trend at the ACC and TOMMY is a stunning boy who is right in the middle of it. The shelter has started putting dogs and cats who may need more than the average after-shelter vet care, on the PUBLIC list, but how many people are inclined to adopt a cat who is probably going to need a few trips to the vet, as soon as they get out of the shelter? Meanwhile, rescues are pulling rescue-only pets and NICE GUYS like TOMMY are falling in huge numbers! This AVERAGE-rated boy probably feels like crap, and he seems to have something going on with his urinary tract. He is a stray whose finder kept him for a WEEK and wanted to keep him longer, but when it became clear that he was sick and needed vet care that person could not afford, they brought him to the ACC. If YOU can take TOMMY into your home, please reach out to the Urgent PODR help desk at [email protected] and our trained volunteers will guide you right! FOSTERS provide the TLC while the rescue picks up the vet bill. That’s EXACTLY what TOMMY needs, and he needs that to manifest tonight! Please save him!
