TORTIE SENIOR WHO WEIGHS JUST 3 POUNDS, DUMPED DUE TO MOVE, HAS A SWEET VOLUNTEER PLEA AND A GOOD BEHAVIOR RATING – PLEASE GRANT ASHLEY A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Adorable 10-year-old tortoiseshell senior ASHLEY was tossed into the kill-happy ACC when her old owner decided to move to new cat-free digs. Ashley’s good looks quickly caught the eye on an ACC volunteer, who lovingly writes: “Ashley is a shy tortie miss who is said to get along well with other cats. She is reserved, but are you that special someone who could love Ashley and bring out the best in her? Ashley would do well with experienced cat parents who would understand Ashley’s need to adjust and be patient with her.” At home, Ashley got along with other cats and was very PLAYFUL. Even in the scary shelter, she earned a very good EXPERIENCE behavior rating for the eager way she enjoyed being petted on her head! But the ACC will kill this darling “GOLDEN OLDIE” at noon tomorrow, because she is suffering from digestive issues AND WEIGHS JUST 3 POUNDS! Please save her life! Start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt adorable senior tortie girl ASHLEY! If you can’t save ASHLEY yourself, please SHARE her sad story and PLEDGE for her rescue!
