Safe - 3-4-2018 Staten Island Rescue: All Sentient Beings Please honor your pledges: http://allsentientbeings.org/
SAFE 3/4/18 Coco – Long Haired Kitty Needs Immediate Placement or will be euthanized. Coco was brought to us by the police because her owner is elderly and didn’t want Coco any longer. It appears she is having a hard time moving her back legs but does have feeling in them. We don’t know if there could have been an accident in the home or if she had an injury for a while. She will need further diagnostics at a private hospital.
