APRIL – A1085594
Gone - 8-24-2016 Brooklyn
***GONE 08/24/16***APRIL IN AUGUST! This 7 year old has been with her former owner since she was given to them as a gift, as a kitten. But they decided to up and move but NOT bother to find a cat- friendly dwelling! Of course, the owners had to make it even harder on poor APRIL by dumping her in a HIGH KILL SHELTER! She’s SPAYED and ready to go. Has been around kids, 3 and up but never around dogs or cats. However, the assessment team at the good ol’ ACC has her down as EXPNOCHILD. SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT THERE! They’re rating the 7 year old on how she’s responding at their dirty, scary shelter. And that’s just not fair! Give this girl a chance…offer to FOSTER OR ADOPT APRIL in AUGUST today!!
