PERSIPHANY – A1082616
Safe - 7-31-2016 Manhattan Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
**SAFE 07/31/16** CALLING ALL ANGELS TO HELP A SENIOR LADY IN HER HOUR OF NEED! Meet PERSIPHANY, a black and white senior kitty who makes a persons’ arms ACHE with the longing to cuddle her. This vulnerable hug machine was taken to the ACC as a stray on July 25th and the shelter, as usual, can’t figure out why she’s not feeling her best. Frankly, THEY DON’T CARE. It doesn’t matter what’s troubling this AVERAGE-rated dreamboat because they’ve just planning to kill her tomorrow, and no diagnosis is needed in order for that sad process to be a success. PERSIPHANY needs a competent vet who wants to help her feel better, not some hack whose interpretation of the Veterinary Oath amounts to, “killing them is okay because at least then, they will never feel pain or sickness again.” WHY NOT RUN A FEW TESTS, SEE WHAT’S GOING ON WITH PERSIPHANY, AND THEN FIX HER UP?! That’s a radical idea for the ACC, but a GREAT idea for YOU! Plus, if you foster her through a NEW HOPE rescue, the rescue will pick up the vet bill and you can just concentrate on giving her plenty of TLC. Persiphany can also be adopted outright by someone who is willing to stand by her, medically and in every other way. TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT THAT FACE AND THEN GET TO WORK—SAVE PERSIPHANY TONIGHT!
