OZZY – A1073416
Rescue Only - 5-17-2016 Manhattan Rescue: Animalkind Please honor your pledges: http://www.animalkindny.com/
***SAFE 05/17/16*** DO YOU SEE A CAT IN THIS PHOTO? POOR OZZY WAS NOT EVEN GIVEN THE BENEFIT OF A PHOTO SO PEOPLE CAN SEE HIM BUT YET HE IS LISTED TONIGHT!! Typical ACC behavior – this poor cat came in a few days ago, was given the name OZZY, and has some medical needs. The shelter must have written him off from the start because they didn’t even take a decent picture of this poor guy. OZZY is about 7 years old, has an abscess on the side of his face, in addition to conjunctivitis and a URI. He is an cream-orange kitty – and is frightened. Someone brought him in because he looked injured. Do you think that the fact OZZY is not well that could contribute to his behavior? The medical notes refer to him also as a “she” which just shows how little the ACC cared about this poor cat. OZZY was punished with not only a BAD photo, but a NEW HOPE rating. OZZY needs a rescue angel tonight! This cat deserves a happy ending to his story. Will you be OZZY’S hero? Don’t worry about what this cat looks like – we know he is most likely a very handsome cutie pie who is terrified and not feeling well. ONLY YOU CAN GIVE HIM THE CHANCE TO LIVE. EMAIL [email protected] FOR RESCUE INFO. LET’S NOT LET THE ACC GET AWAY WITH THIS INJUSTICE TO OZZY TONIGHT! SAVE HIM NOW!!

Please note that this cat is being treated for a significant medical condition. We cannot be sure how this condition may be influencing his behavior in the care center, so we advise that his behavior may change as his medical condition is addressed. Reaction to assessor: Ozzy continues to hide (was hiding on approach) Reaction when softly spoken to: Ozzy continues to hide (was hiding on approach) Reaction to cage door opening: Ozzy retreats. Reaction to touch: Ozzy growls and swats at the assessor. Behavior Determination: New Hope Only Ozzy is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. She has tried to swat and bite, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
