Sweet Sixteen, and Looking for a Home

Picasso Veterinary Fund in Action! (September 2008)

Ella and Francis are two 16-year-old ladies who lost their home when their guardian was evicted by her landlord. With no place to go and suffering from arthritis, the duo would likely have met a sad end were it not for the Picasso Veterinary Fund. The Fund is paying for Ella and Francis to receive medication for their arthritis for the rest of their lives — and a berth at the vet's office until a more permanent home can be found. A loving foster or permanent home is being sought.

Ella, a torti, is quite mobile, and can jump onto high surfaces. Francis, a calico whose arthritis is more advanced, prefers to remain in a quieter mode than Ella. Both ladies have been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. They enjoy being with other cats, and simply want to have a real home again where they can spend their remaining senior years.

How you can help:

Adopt or foster Ella and/or Francis. Just e-mail picasso@AnimalAllianceNYC.org if you're interested in giving one or both of these wonderful ladies a senior residence.

Donate to the Picasso Veterinary Fund. Your generous tax-deductible donation will help us give more animals in need a second chance for a good life — even later in life, like Ella and Francis. Please give generously today!
