***SAFE 09/25/16*** SECOND CHANCE FOR ADORABLE ALLY CAT!! ….ALLY CAT DUMPED BECAUSE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS TOO LAZY OR BUSY TO TAKE HER TO A VET! 12 year old and already SPAYED, ALLY CAT, had been urinating outside the litter box, which is most likely because she has a UTI! But instead of taking their pet of 10 years to a vet, they decided to dump this sweet senior in a HIGH KILL SHELTER! A volunteer writes – “Ally Cat is a senior citizen who has a friendly and outgoing demeanor. She socializes well with children, enjoys being petted, and she’ll purr in appreciation. In addition, when she is being held, she will cling onto you as if never to let you go. Cat parents with little or no experience with cats would be so pleased with their choice if they are lucky enough to include Ally Cat in their forever home.” FOSTER OR ADOPT THIS BEGINNER RATED GIRL TODAY!
