GOYA – 28612
Safe - 5-28-2018 Brooklyn Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
SAFE 5/28/18 GOYA is a 14 year old senior girl whose owner dumped at the shelter because she has been losing weight, vomiting and not eating. We guess the vet wasn’t considered here. GOYA is a sweet cat and was easily handled. She has a tumor which needs to be checked to see if benign or malignant. She also has dental disease, and some kind of infection going on in her body. She needs immediate medical eval and treatment. Can you help an older kitty by giving her a place to live out her golden years?
