BIANCA – A1071608
Safe - 5-3-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
***SAFE 05/03/16*** VULNERABLE! Another day, another cat who had been gifted to somebody being placed on the At-Risk list. All too often, people who receive a cat as a gift seem to bail out on those treasures, cats like BIANCA who was brought to the shelter in the wake of “personal problems.” Bianca had lived with her most recent owner for the past 2 years, and is guesstimated to be about 10 years of age (if the ACC is to be believed). Please be sure to read her owner surrender notes, which introduce us to a mellow, loving companion who well deserves her AVERAGE rating. Make sure this GOOD girl is not lost to a brutal “shelter” system—advocate strongly for Bianca, tonight!
