Update- Safe! ❤️
In addition Momma and Oreo, Spencer is in need too! 💔❤️🩹
Spencer ACCT-A-251475 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Spencer must have confirmed placement with an experienced ADOPTER or RESCUE PARTNER by WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10TH at 10AM. Should Spencer's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Spencer is a mild-mannered, senior gentleman who was surrendered to ACCT when his owner passed away. With no extended family, Spencer's owner discussed with their caregiver, options to surrender Spencer after their passing, and we have had the privilege of looking after Spencer in this time.
Spencer is a large guy, but we suspect the passing of his owner, coupled with a new, strange environment, has caused some inappetence. Because of his size, rapid weight loss and lack of appetite puts Spencer at an increased risk for the development of hepatic lipidosis, which impairs the function of his organs, and can be life-threatening. Spencer's thyroid levels are borderline, and he should receive follow-up bloodwork to confirm a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. We would love to see this beloved family member receive not just medical management, but a place to decompress, where he can feel safe after losing his person.
In his kennel, Spencer prefers to sprawl out, but immediately perks up when formally addressed. He is a champion biscuit-maker, and inches closer to pets in the way bigger cats do when they think they're being sneaky. He's gentle, affectionate, and was described by his owner's caregiver as "friendly, clean, laid-back and well-behaved." They went on to say that Spencer is "...an amazing cat, [he] has a great and loving personality," and that his ideal home would be, "...a home that is quiet and peaceful. A place where he can hang out with his human and be loved."
