MATCHSTICK – A1066667
Gone - 3-13-2016 Manhattan
**GONE 03/13/16** BEGINNER-rated SENIOR LADIES need foster/adoptive homes just as vitally as any other pet at the ACC, and MATCHSTICK would like to be your first pick! This beautiful girl has some complicated medical notes which point to two things: first, she may have some issues with seizures, and second, remember that the ACC vets are famous for not quite getting it right when it comes to diagnostics. What else does MATCHSTICK have? Loving volunteer comments! Check these out and then find a FOSTER/ADOPTER for her, tonight! “A volunteer writes: Little Matchstick is a sprightly middle-aged gal with a pretty face and a funny name who’s sweet, social and super super cute! She’s already won fans aplenty at the Care Center and now with her best-of-the-best behavior rating, she’s ready to wow the public too. Matchstick’s endless supply of adorable facial expressions–from crazy catnip eyes through Mona Lisa smile–will keep you laughing and her love of snuggles is guaranteed to brighten even the gloomiest day. Her playful yet mellow personality would make a lovely, low-key addition to almost any family and just think of the Instagram possibilities! Light a fire in your heart by welcoming marvelous Matchstick home today, she’s waiting for you…”
