DAMON – A1078580
Safe - 7-2-2016 Manhattan Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
**SAFE 07/02/16** CALLING ALL ANGELS! Precious DWEEZIL and DAMON are two tiny baby boys who were brought into the ACC from a tow yard. Both kittens have a few skin issues and need to see a veterinarian who is NOT planning on killing them, a veterinarian who remembers the oath they took and who actually enjoys healing kittens! In addition, DAMON is non weight bearing on one hind leg and may need more extensive care than just that which will heal his skin. These guys both need a NEW HOPE rescue to pull them to safety, and New Hope rescues need PLEDGES toward their medical care and FOSTER homes to provide safe haven for Dweezil and Damon while they heal. Please advocate relentlessly for these kittens tonight—they can be saved, but everyone has to work quickly…..
