DEEDEE – 21546
Safe - 3-10-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 3/10/18 A volunteer writes: Deedee was so pleased when I came for a visit, bearing her favorite gifts, cheek rubs and ear massages. She’s a beauty with a gorgeous gold stripe down her nose. This nine-year-old lass is with us, sadly, because her person passed away. She’s been keeping her spirits up and we’d love to see them soar, when her new family comes to take her home.
DEEDEE is a large 19 lb kitty who is about 7 years old. DEEDEE’S owner passed away, and the neighbor brought her in. She has a skin issue on her abdomen and needs a new home where she can get some TLC.
