Gabby

**$700 in pledges for the rescue that pulls** Gabby has been living outside while her owner cared for her after she appeared in their yard several years ago. They were concerned because they thought she broke her leg which the owner could not afford to fix. Unfortunately, after we offered support to help her keep Gabby, she said she wanted to surrender her, not SNR her, as she could not continue to care for Gabby. She shared that Gabby recently was in an altercation with another animal. She came into ACCT on the 18th of June, and was described as being selective with cats, and lived with both kids under 5 and teenagers as well as other cats, but her owner also noted she lived outside. On intake she was note to be friendly but a little fearful.
