SAPHYA – A1084055
Gone - 9-21-2016 Brooklyn
***GONE 09/21/16*** SAPHYA IS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND PRETTY HEALTHY…. SO WHY, OH, WHY IS SHE SLATED TO DIE? For starters, the adorable SPAYED SAPHYA, was given as a gift. This is a PERFECT example of why NOT to gift animals. After the shiny red bow is taken off and the kitten becomes a cat… people that really didn’t want a pet find any excuse to get rid of them! But these OWNERS weren’t even sharp picking their excuse. They just used the old “ALLERGIES” excuse and took it one step further by dumping her at a HIGH KILL SHELTER! EXPERIENCED new owners are needed to step up here! Say you will FOSTER OR ADOPT SAPHYA. Not because she’s a “gift” but the only gift will be the one you give to her by saving her life!!

Reaction to assessor: Saphyfa was near the front of the kennel relaxed on her blanket. Reaction when softly spoken to: Saphyfa comes forward slowly, meows softly and lightly head butts the kennel door. Reaction to cage door opening: Saphyfa is calm and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Saphyfa sniffs the assessor’s hand, allows petting and lightly rubs up for attention. She appreciates contact but tends to whip around when touched on her back. She hissed then went back to soliciting attention. Reaction to being picked up: Saphyfa was a bit tense when held and looks around wary of her surroundings.
