Kitty, your picture breaks my heart. It's bad enough that you were brought to the ACC with apparent urine stains on your feet. The ACC actually treated you and you started to show signs of improvement, as recently as yesterday. So why are you on the list tonight? Only the ACC can answer that. This gorgeous gal is going to die tomorrow, even though she appears to be on the mend. This is wrong on sooooo many levels. Don't let this happen. Please, start sharing Kitty now so we can get her out and help her heal mind, body and soul!

DO NOT call the shelter and say you are adopting unless you truly intend on physically going to the shelter to adopt the cat. It ties up phones lines and is a waste of the staff's time to explain the adoption procedure over the phone for someone who is purposely not going to show up. They need every free second of their time to answer calls, assist actual adopters, process intakes, and care for the animals. More importantly, they will note the cats’s file that an adopter is en route which will prevent an actual adopter from saving the cat. This is considered a "fake adoption" hold and that is how animals fall through the cracks and end up being killed.

For more information on a particular cat, email adoption@nycacc.org but ONLY if serious about adopting, and ONLY if you are able to GO TO the shelter in-person. Please do not email for status updates... the only thing you will accomplish is spamming their in boxes and causing REAL adopter emails to go un-noticed. Contact the NYC ACC at (212) 788-4000 for further automated instructions.

 

Urgent Part 2 - Urgent Death Row Dogs shared a photo.

Joyce is a 7-year-old dog who has been existing at the hands of people who didn't care about this dog one tiny bit. She is thin as a rail, was spayed by the ACC because she came in with pyometra, and only weighs 36 pounds. That can happen to any stray dog, you say? Here's the thing: Joyce also presented with long toenails, and any dog who has been living on the streets is going to have short nails. Someone allowed Joyce to sink into this condition and when she had sank far enough, they tossed her into the shelter like a popped balloon. It's not surprising that Joyce earned an Orange rating on her initial intake exam. She wasn't feeling well, you can bet she was hungry, and let's face it---this girl has had very little reason to be impressed with the humanity she has known. Until now. Tonight can be the start of a whole new way of life for Joyce. She can totally luck out and have someone step up for her, someone who will get her the medical care she needs, make sure she has delicious treats and a whole lot of love. Someone can turn things around for Joyce right now. The other option is, she can die tomorrow morning at 6am. It's up to you. What do you want the outcome to be? Share and pledge if you want Joyce's story to have a happy ending, beginning right now.

Joyce is a shy Labrador retriever that is waiting for someone to help her come out of her shell. She will receive treats at the front of the cage then she will retreat to the back of the cage after receiving the treat. While with us she was spayed because she had pyometra and will need someone willing to give her a loving home, affection, and time to come out of her shell.
