SASHI – A1085239
Gone - 8-19-2016 Manhattan
**GONE 08/19/16**DIABETIC, BEGINNER RATED AND GOOD WITH YOUNG CHILDREN! That’s SASHI in a nutshell, and this delightful girl needs someone to save her life tonight! Her former owners knew she was diabetic but hadn’t taken her to the vet in months, and finally handed her over to the ACC because of “pet health.” DIABETES CAN BE MANAGED and there are support groups for the owners of diabetic cats, so anyone who steps up for this gorgeous kitty would NEVER have to go it alone! SASHI is spayed, she’s 10 years old, and despite that PERFECT BEGINNER RATING, she has spent her ACC experience within the MEDICAL ward and NO ONE KNEW SHE WAS THERE! The ONLY people who know this girl exists, are the people who see her thread. Please SHARE her story far and wide, please PLEDGE toward her care, and please STEP UP TO FOSTER or ADOPT SASHI TONIGHT!
