JADA – 28497
Safe - 5-26-2018 Manhattan Rescue: Frankie's Feline Fund Please honor your pledges: http://frankiesfelinefund.org/donate/
SAFE 5/26/18 — 16 year old JADA was dumped along with her 2 sixteen year old housemates by owner. JADA has some dental issues and was said to have diarrhea on intake. She needs a new home where she can get some TLC and follow up care. Why not adopt her and a housemate?
A volunteer writes: Let me introduce you to the first of the Triplets of Belleville Jada is a beautiful grey and white fluffernutter, with a white stripe, slightly askew, meandering from her forehead to her nose. I watched a volunteer brush her and she traipsed like a queen. She’s outgoing, chatty and always up front in her kennel lobbying for more attention and the hand rubs she can’t get enough of. But that’s not all. They say good things come in three’s; that’s never been truer than it is with Jada and her two sweet sisters. One could not be sweeter than the next. You’ve heard of the phrase “Three Dog Night” (how Alaskans keep warm during the coldest of nights, and an oldies song); well, life with the trio of Jada, Sandy and Sticky would be a series of three-cat-nights that could deliver slumber to the most hardcore insomniac. If you’ve found yourself a little blue or lonely, these ladies will rival any ritual or pill you could take. After 16 years with one owner, the bad news is that they’ve been dumped at a shelter, but, the good news is that its staff and volunteers will try to move heaven and earth to find them a loving home together and a person who deserves the joy they will bring. Come over to meet the triplets and tell everyone you know about them.
