Safe - 2-14-2017 Brooklyn
SAFE 2/14/17 Sweet older Maxine is having a tougher time adjusting to the shelter environment, but she was described by her previous owner as mellow, friendly, and relaxed. She has lived with another cat and is described as very affectionate with them, and she has comfortably been around an 8 year old child. If given a chance, she should warm up over time and love her new forever home the best way she knows how!

Hiding behind litter box, pressed against back of cage, head up. Alert, tense, wary. Hisses when I first approach, but softens some and allows me to rub head. Not ready for a lot of interaction yet. Looks a little like a Margaret Keane painting. Captivating. Left some treats and sprayed Feliway.
