***SAFE 03/26/16***PRECIOUS THE PANTHER NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Sad sigh! Eight year old Precious sounds like a purrfect companion. According to his former owner, he is “friendly, affectionate & playful…loves to groom himself & sunbathe.” When his former owner came home, Precious followed the owner around the house. Precious loved to sleep on owner’s bed and lived with an infant, a young child and other cats. He is even neutered. Then why does this great guy find his precious life in peril? Apparently he has a history of constipation and bladder issues including blood in his urine. Sounds like his former family could no longer afford to keep him or pay for his vet treatment. Precious will need follow up vet care but if a kind foster steps up, all reasonable medical expenses will be covered. Precious received an awesome average behavior rating and deserves the opportunity to receive competent medical care and live in a loving home. He will definitely reward his lucky new purrson with lots of love and affection. Please offer Precious a new “leash” on life by reserving him online. Transportation is available.
