KITKAT – A1068519
Safe - 4-1-2016 Manhattan
**SAFE 04/01/16** KITKAT WAS AS SWEET AS CANDY AND GENTLE AND AFFECTIONATE WITH CHILDREN IN HER PREVIOUS HOME – BUT NOW THAT HER OWNER DUMPED HER IN THE SHELTER – SHE IS AFRAID AND WILL DIE FOR IT! Poor little KITKAT – she is a 3 year old calico girl who is just so pretty! She came from a pet store as a kitten and grew attached to her owner. KITKAT was said to be playful, gentle and affectionate and loved catnip and ball toys. She used her scratch post and litterbox and was the most purr-fect kitty! Now due to her owner’s living situation and “personal problems’ this petite calico girl is fighting for her life tonight! She also has the kitty cold, which the ACC refuses to treat with anything other than a lethal injection. And when the assessor showed up, she was withdrawn and frightened so that they punished her with a New Hope rating!! New Hope ratings only measure the fear a cat has IN the shelter and not their behavior in a home. KITKAT IS A PURR-FECT CAT FOR ANY FAMILY AND WOULD HOPE THAT THERE IS ONE SPECIAL PURRSON TO OFFER HER A SPOT IN THEIR HEART! PLEASE DON’T LET THIS PRETTY SWEET GIRL BE ANOTHER STATISTIC. EMAIL [email protected] TO SAVE KITCAT NOW!!
