ARROW – 9700
Safe - 10-24-2017 Brooklyn
** SAFE 10/24/2017 ** Sweet seniors ARROW and CUPID were gifted to their former owner 14 years ago and naturally assumed they had a loving, furrrever home. WRONG! When their former owner got a brand new human kiddo, they suddenly claimed to be allergic to cats or some such nonsense. These boys need a competent vet exam and loving arms around them!

BROOKLYN CENTER
Hello, my name is Arrow. My animal id is #9700. I am a desexed male brown tabby cat at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 14 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 14-Oct-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- new baby.
Arrow is at-risk with an adult only determination. He displays fearful behavior and does not appear to be thriving in the stressful shelter environment. He appears tense and crouches down when approached, curling his body tightly together when spoken to. He tolerates gentle petting, but turns his head away and appears very uncomfortable. He starts to warm up after some time, but continues to appear wary of his surroundings.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 10.5 lbs
