😸 Possum needs YOU! 🆘️
Our longest resident kitty is back at the shelter. We have learned dogs scare her 😢
She had a skin reaction, was in the cone of shame, and was finally adopted. The shelter stresses her out 😩 so she needs an adopter or foster, fast!
She will be most successful as an only pet. She is easy going, otherwise. She isnt eating at the shelter now so she needs a Hero!! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Please come meet her tomorrow and help save her!! 🙏 💗
🕐Sat. 1230-530PM
380 Masengill Rd Blountville
Please share 👍🤞
