Brooklyn Center
Hello, my name is Rogue. My animal id is #14507. I am a desexed female brown tabby cat at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 24-Nov-2017, with the surrender reason stated as poor choice – too many animals already.
Rogue is at risk for behavior concerns (Experience determination). Allows all touch, but is very fearful and looks uncomfortable will benefit from placement outside the shelter.

Potential challenges comments:: Rogue has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and appears uncomfortable with extended handling. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide her with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Rogue tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She appears to be independent and will need time to warm up to her new home and family. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
