Safe - 3-29-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
**SAFE 03/29/16** LOVELY CLARABELLE IS A 10 YR OLD SENIOR LADY WHOSE OWNER DUMPED HER FOR PERSONAL PROBLEMS-NOW THIS POOR GIRL WILL DIE FOR HAVING A COLD AND BEING AFRAID! CLARABELLE certainly didn’t expect her owner to just toss her out of the home when she had a few litterbox accidents. She expected him to either take her to the vet to find out if something was wrong OR maybe clean the box more often? Sadly, neither of these things happened and CLARABELLE was whisked off to the kill happy shelter. This lovely tortie lady is relaxed and affectionate with children, but has not lived with other kitties. She is a quiet cat but loves to play with string. CLARABELLE was easy to handle upon intake but when it came time for the assessor to stick that fake plastic hand in the cage, she tried to flee and hissed! Gee – sounds like a normal cat to me! For this, she was punished with a NEW HOPE ONLY rating and you MUST contact a rescue group tonight to save her. CLARABELLE needs a chance to have another 10 years to live – and not be unfairly killed at noon. WON’T YOU BE CLARABELLE’S RESCUE ANGEL? CONTACT A RESCUE NOW AND OFFER TO FOSTER OR ADOPT THIS LOVELY OLDER GIRL AND YOU WON’T BE SORRY! EMAIL [email protected] FOR MORE INFO.
