DIAMOND – 28421
Safe - 5-30-2018 Manhattan
SAFE 5/30/18 WATCH THE VIDEO! A volunteer writes: My girl Diamond is sending mixed messages. When I met her the other day, this gorgeous cat came confidently to the front of her kennel so I could give her pettings. But after bowing her head and almost accepting my hand, she hesitated. I didn’t push it. Diamond was new to the cat adoption room, and though I could tell she was comfortable with people, I wanted her to be in the right frame of mind. Our behavior team had a similar experience. Diamond approached and engaged our assessor and even rolled over, but her vocalizations told them she wasn’t 100% in the mood. This shy lady seems to want to trust, but perhaps she just wasn’t ready to get close to humans again. She came to us from a home, where she scored high marks for being friendly and good with the young child in the household. (Her former people also told us that she is litterbox trained and quiet.) Be the new pet parent who shows Diamond what love and commitment really are by making her a permanent part of your home today.
DIAMOND in the rough here!! Poor Diamond was dumped by her owner who said she had a rash that was developing. She is only 2 yrs old and is not happy at the shelter. Diamond needs a new furever home this time.
