BECKY – A1062608
Gone - 1-13-2016 Manhattan
**GONE 01/13/16**SPECIAL NEEDS CAT NEEDS ONE ON ONE ATTENTION…..BECKY gave her owner a lot of clues that she needed attention. BECKY has very poor vision and sometimes bumps into walls. Since she couldn’t see very well, BECKY relied on other means of communication. Her owners apparently no longer wanted to deal with this and developed “ALLERGIES” to their 5 year old cat. Why they thought putting a limited vision cat in a noisy shelter was going to find her a new home is beyond us…..BECKY is SPAYED, talkative and has a HIGH ENERGY level. PLEASE HELP THIS SPECIAL LADY FIND A NEW HOME TONIGHT!! In the right home, BECKY will blossom!! Contact us at [email protected] and we can direct you to NEW HOPE rescues as BECKY is NEW HOPE rated.
