Fiji is a 1 year old female White and black DSH. She came in as a stray. She currently has a URI and needs placement ASAP.
Brooklyn Center
Hello, my name is Fiji. My animal id is #20048. I am a female white cat at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 06-Feb-2018.
Fiji was placed at risk due to behavior concerns; Fiji low growls, her ears bend flat and she swats when the assessor extends his hand out. She seems very uncomfortable and currently doesn’t allow any handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
My medical notes are…
