Wrinkles - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania

**$1,815 in pledges for the rescue that pulls**
**Extended**

Wrinkles ACCT-A-253195 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Wrinkles must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER by SUNDAY, JUNE 21ST at 10AM. Should Wrinkles' medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

When Wrinkles arrived at ACCT Philly as a stray on June 17th, his mouth was hanging open, a visible sign that something wasn't right. However, the team quickly noticed how sweet and affectionate he is, earning enthusiastic praise from both the finder who brought him in and the staff who have cared for him. Despite being in pain, he actively solicits pets and remains relaxed and cooperative during handling. Wrinkles has severe gingivostomatitis, which will require full-mouth extractions, and he may also benefit from a stomatitis treatment protocol. Due to his medical concerns, Wrinkles is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.
