Teddy Roosevelt

My story

** $330 in pledges for the rescue that pulls ** ** Philadoptables will generously donate $350 to the rescue that pulls! ** ** Interested foster through rescue! ** ** New medical notes on 6/13 ** ** Extended! ** Teddy Roosevelt ACCT-A-222568 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Teddy must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER by Sunday, June 15th at 10AM. Should Teddy’s medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Due to being significantly overcapacity with animals and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately. Teddy Roosevelt is an approximately 4 year old domestic shorthair that came into the shelter as a sick stray. His finder said that he is “friendly, shy, scared, quiet, there are usually too many cats arouynd for him to relax”. Teddy’s finder had also observed him coughing and sneezing frequently in the colony that he lived in. At the shelter, Teddy has been shy but sweet, and very tolerant of handling even though he doesn’t feel well. Teddy needs a rescue that is able to give him more medical care than ACCT can currently provide, and preferably some TLC. Here is what staff and volunteers had to say about Teddy: Medical: NEW!
