***SAFE 01/04/16*** POOR ALUNITE IS A LITTLE EBONY GIRL WHO WAS CRYING FOR ATTENTION…Luckily, someone found her, unluckily they brought her to the ACC…A staff member writes: Alunite is a talker. She is one of the few talented cats who can speak in cat tongue. She expresses herself when she meows so you know exactly how she is feeling at that moment. The finder was able to find her because she was crying on the street. However, she immediately stops crying as soon as you pet her. And when you hold her, forget about it. She will purr up a storm! Alunite really likes attention, so she might meow until you succumb to her cuteness. If you love and adopt her, she’ll be sure to have a story to meow about to all your guests…..ALUNITE needs evaluation by a competent veterinarian…..not the smorgasbord of medical evaluation that the ACC has presented. PLEASE HELP THIS VERY SWEET BEGINNER GET HER CHANCE TONIGHT!! APPLY TO FOSTER OR ADOPT NOW!!
