ZOE – A1082940
Gone - 8-8-2016 Manhattan
**GONE 08/08/16** AVERAGE GREEN EYED GIRL NEEDS AN ANGEL!! Poor Zoe really hasn’t had the best life so far. She has been having litter box accidents for over a year. She was brought to the vet but her owner couldn’t afford bloodwork. Now Zoe finds herself sitting at the city shelter and on tomorrow’s kill list. Zoe needs someone who is going to love and care for her as she enters her golden years. It’s possible that Zoe has hyperthyroid issues so she needs some bloodwork done to figure out why she hasn’t been feeling herself. Let’s work to get Zoe the care she needs and deserves. Advocate for this sweet girl before it’s too late!
