WILMA – A1053977
Gone 10-10-2015 Manhattan
***GONE 10/10/15***WILLLLMA!!! YABBA DABBA DOO—BLACK AND WHITE CUTIE IS WAITING FOR YOU! Wilma is a 15 month old adorable kitty who is positively petrified at the shelter and who can blame her? This betrayed sweetheart lived with her former purrson since she was a month old as an indoor only kitty. Then sadly, her purrson decided to move to non-pet friendly housing and decided to dump her at the kill happy shelter. She was described as energetic, playful and loving. She even enjoys being picked up and held. But Wilma is a purrfect example of a loving housepet who turns into a totally different kitty in the stressful shelter setting. Wilma was very nervous and upset during intake. No wonder—the only purrson she ever knew and loved was dumping her like garbage. Wilma is purrfectly healthy and the ACC never gave her a proper behavior eval. Instead, they fast-tracked her to the at-risk list. If we don’t do everything we can to move her to safe haven tonight, she will become yet another sad ACC stat when tomorrow afternoon rolls around. We strongly believe that wonderful Wilma will return to her normally sweet, loving and playful self once she feels safe and sound. Please offer her a new “leash” on life by contacting a NH rescue and agreeing to adopt or foster Wilma. She only has tonight. We are her only hope. Don’t let her down!!!
