SILVIA – A1084664
Gone - 8-12-2016 Manhattan
***GONE 08/12/16***SOS! SECOND CHANCE FOR SILIVIA!! SILVIA NEEDS MEDICAL CARE RIGHT AWAY!! Silvia is an amazing kitty who lived with children, is friendly with all even strangers and is dog friendly. Sadly this girl was surrendered to ACC for “pet health.” It seems Silvia has some liver issues and it likely has been going on for a bit. It’s a shame she couldn’t receive veterinary care instead of just being discarded like trash. Liver issues can be addressed and there are medications and procedures that can help!! Silvia is in desperate need of appropriate and immediate veterinary care NOW!! Don’t let this kitty suffer any more than she has. APPLY TO FOSTER OR ADOPT NOW!! If you need help, email [email protected]

Reaction to cage door opening: Sylvia remains motionless, but her ears tilt slightly sideways. Reaction to touch: Sylvia was a bit hesitant, but stays in place and accepts petting on her head and body. Her ears remain tilted, but she blinks gently and appeared mostly indifferent to touch. Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior.
