🚨 THE SHELTER IS BEYOND FULL 😭 Luna needs to leave ASAP!!!
Email [email protected] to help!
Meet the very precious Luna Eclipse ACCT-A-263045! Luna is an incredibly beautiful, 8-year-old chunky tabby lady (with touches of tortie patterning throughout her coat!) who came to ACCT as an owner-surrender on 9/26, after living with her previous owner for her whole life. When her owner tragically became homeless, Luna was left with a friend who, after a couple of months, could no longer care for her; and now, this poor girl is here at ACCT, confused & bewildered by her current situation.
Luna Eclipse spends much of her time pressed up against a back corner of her kennel wall, trying to appear as small as possible (which is hard to do when you’re a 20-pound cat!), looking for an exit, cowering and going wide-eyed when the loud, unfamiliar noises of the shelter are happening around her. Luna has been reluctant to eat anything while she’s been here, and our medical team is growing concerned that she may be at risk of life-threatening hepatic lipidosis — or fatty liver — if she continues feeling too fearful & stressed to eat anything.
Staff have noted that Luna Eclipse is an incredibly sweet kitty who is willing to trust those who can see through her fear & give her the time to become comfortable with the presence of a stranger through patience, a gentle touch, and a soft, reassuring tone. We so badly want to see Luna turn her life around & absolutely shine in her forever home, so due to the increasing risks posed to her health the longer she stays at ACCT in a state of stress & fear, Luna Eclipse is seeking urgent rescue placement with a very lucky rescue partner!

BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per staff 10/1:
I spent some time getting to know sweet Luna Eclipse today! When I approached her kennel, her eyes went very wide with her pupils dilated, and her ears went back slightly -- she was clearly afraid and trying to shrink down as much as she could. I spoke to her with a soft voice & let her sniff my gloved hand before attempting to pet her, which she hesitantly allowed me to do. I gently pet her around her head & neck area until she started giving me slow blinks & making some tentative biscuits, then I began petting down her back & near her rump, at which point she began purring and even ate a little bit of food! By the end of our interaction, her ears had perked up, her eyes had visibly softened, she was giving me the elevator butt, and she had eaten a few bites of dry food. She is an incredibly lovely cat who will be such a fantastic companion to the lucky person who gives her the kindness & stability she SO deserves.
