***SAFE 11/21/17*** SUPER AFFECTIONATE SENIOR GIRL MILLY IS A BEGINNER RATED SWEETHEART WHO NEEDS YOU NOW! 9 year old MILLY was surrendered by her owner because they had “no time” for the cat.
She is very affectionate and allows all handling. Milly has an older trauma injury to her leg which will require a visit to an orthopedic vet. She also has a URI which is easily treated with antibiotics. MILLY needs a rescue angel tonight – she is a calm, sweet and affectionate kitty who only wants a home for the holidays. MUST RESERVE MILLY BY NOON!!
