Sweet Senior Girl Nicki Needs Your Help.

Nicki's Story:

Sweet senior girl Nicki was brought to the NYC ACC animal shelter on November 20th. Her previous owner dumped her at the shelter,  requesting that she be euthanized. ACC realized that this beautiful panther girl still had a lot of life in her, overturned the owner's request, and gave her the chance to be adopted.

While at ACC, Nicki was a volunteer favorite. One volunteer who fell in love with her wrote: "There's something about Nicki that makes me feel very protective of her. Maybe it's her soft, gentle demeanor, or the way she likes to accept pettings while she's curled up on the blanket in her cat loft. It might be her warm, curious eyes, or the sweet way she sniffs my hand and trusts me without any fuss. But it could be that she's a mature lady who has found herself without a family during the holiday season, a time when no cat should be homeless or all by her lonesome."

During Nicki's stay at the shelter, she contracted a URI (Upper Respiratory Infection). On November 26th, she was placed on ACC's At Risk List for euthanasia. Fortunately, a very caring adopter stepped up for her, and Feline Rescue of Staten Island pulled her off the list. However, almost immediately, Nicki began to crash and needed immediate ER care. Thankfully, her very caring adopter realized this and rushed her to Oradell ER vet, where she has been for the past 24 hours. While at Oradell, Nicki has been in ICU, receiving oxygen treatment, IV fluids, nebulization, and multiple medications and testings. Nicki's vet bill for the past 24 hours is estimated to be more than $5,000. Her adopter is dedicated to giving her the best of care, but needs help with these expenses. Nicki is expected to remain at Oradell for several days, in which case her bill will likely end up being several thousands of dollars more. 

After being sent to ACC  to die by her previous owners,  this sweet little fluff nugget now has a loving forever home, a chance to live out her senior years with someone who will never abandon her again. She needs to pull through this. Please help Nicki's new mom continue to fund her very expensive vet care. At the shelter, seniors are so often overlooked and discarded. This girl needs a chance to make it and prove to that world that her life matters. She is only 12 years old and has many more years to enjoy the good life.

We will update Nicki's photos once Oradell feels it is ok to take photos of her. At this moment, she is in ICU and the vet treating her does not want to add any stress to her wellbeing. The picture included here is from her stay at ACC. You can see just how precious and beautiful she is. Please donate to help this lovely and sweet girl.
