NIN’A – A1071351
Safe - 4-29-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Zani's Furry Friends Please honor your pledges: http://zanisfurryfriends.org
***SAFE 04/29/16*** NIN’A was with her owners since she was a kitten, yet they so easily gave her the boot and blamed it on ALLERGIES! NIN’A was affectionate towards the dogs in the home, took time to warm up to adults but was said to be “aggressive” with the small children. Of course, that’s likely the other way around! Kids need to be taught how to handle pets! Now this 2 year old is RESCUE ONLY and of course, we need your HELP to get her free! Contact a New Hope rescue and offer to FOSTER or ADOPT! Give her a chance! With a face like NIN’A’S it’s hard to believe that she would even hurt a fly!

Nin’a had wide eyes but inches forward for treats. Reaction to assessor: Nin’a does not come to front but remains neutral When spoken quietly: Nin’a does not come to front but remains neutral Reaction to door cage opening: Nin’a moves back a little and hisses Reaction to touch: Nin’a hisses and does not allows petting at all Try picking cat up: Did not attempt to pick up due to fractious behavior Behavior Determination: NewHope Nin’a seems to not be thriving in this environment and at the time of the assessment. She was displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and may require further investigation before placement in a home. She is extremely fearful and currently does not tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
