SPARKLE – A1084683
Safe - 8-16-2016 Brooklyn
***SAFE 08/16/16***OWNERS BAILED ON TERRIFIC TUXIE SPARKLE!! What makes you abandon a cat that lived with you for 12 years, played with your children and your small dog and followed you around the house looking to be pet?? Did SPARKLE’S owners not look for pet-friendly housing or did they think that a pet deposit was too much to pay to include their furry family member?? SPARKLE is a 13 years young sweetheart who would like to be loved and in a home again….Her owners also never took her to a vet it seems as they never had her spayed and a vet would have noticed the mass she now has on her mammary gland…..Masses can be benign or malignant….it’s easier for the ACC not to care and just dump this precious lady on a list……PLEASE BE THE PURRSON SPARKLE IS WAITING FOR!! Mammary tumors can be removed…..death can’t. Email us at [email protected] if you can provide a golden retirement for SPARKLE!!
