***SAFE 07/15/16***How heartbreaking is this? Nirvana is a 14 year old senior baby who has lived with the same family for over a decade and a half. She was surrendered to the shelter system because her owners were moving. Needless to say this is a horrific turn of events for her. She is a senior, she is used to her environment and her people. Nirvana takes time to warm up to strangers and the shelter is full of nothing but. This poor cat is having a hard time in the shelter system and she will need a New Hope Partner to pull her to safety. Please consider fostering or adopting via a NHP. Nirvana deserves far better than she’s gotten and she should not be euthanized scared and alone.
