Brooklyn Center
Hello, my name is Royaltee. My animal id is #12933. I am a male brown tabby kitten at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 months old. – P
I came into the shelter as a stray on 17-Nov-2017.
Royaltee is at risk due to being diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other cats. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Royaltee has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Royaltee tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
