A shelter staff member writes:
Meet little cute Lili. This snuggly little girl is in need of a new forever home since her previous owners surrender her at our care center because they were moving into a no pet home. Little precious Lili recently injured her hind leg and may possible have a Lateral patellar dislocation. She needs follow up veterinary care the sooner the better, so this cute little girl can get well and back to her ol playful self.
Pull Lili today from MACC!!!
