***SAFE 08/24/16*** GIVEN THE BOOT AFTER ONLY ONE MONTH – WISKERS IS NOW HOPING SOMEONE WILL SAVE HER LIFE FROM THE EUTH TECH TOMORROW AFTERNOON! Poor WISKERS was bounced from home to home and landed in a bad place – the ACC. Someone gave her to the current owner a month ago. This person already had 3 cats, and for some reason WISKERS was afraid of them. Due to her feeling intimidated, she had a few litterbox accidents and now, she sits on death row – dumped for a “pets conflict”. Did it occur to anyone, that you need to make provisions to properly introduce a new kitty and that proper introduction may need to include an extra litterbox in the home? It is sad that not only did they make sure WISKERS wasn’t intimidated in using the litterbox, but they never bothered taking her to the vet to just make sure she was ok. WISKERS is a good cat, and she could not have possibly been at fault for her behavior. She needs a chance to live in a home where someone understands cat’s needs and will take the time and effort to help her adjust. WISKERS now has a cold from being in the shelter and at noon tomorrow, the euth tech will end her life. CAN SOMEONE OUT THERE BE A RESCUE ANGEL TO WISKERS AND ADOPT OR FOSTER THIS 4 YEAR OLD HOUSE PANTHER. CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO OFFER TO FOSTER OR ADOPT. YOU WILL HAVE A VERY HAPPY KITTY WHO WILL LOVE YOU FUREVER IF YOU DO!! GIVE WISKERS A FREEDOM RIDE NOW!
