Socialization: Rover is fearful around strangers and will hide for days if someone is over. Rover has never been around children or dogs. He’s lived with his mother cat and her litter mates, Gabrielle A1126991 and Sabrina A1126989. They are relaxed and playful together. He has never bitten another animal or human.
Behavior: Rover will hide in fear and will keep her distance from people. While riding in a car he is relaxed and quiet. Previous owner has never given Rover a bath, trimmed her nails, or brushed his coat. Rover is scared when previous owner tried to pick him up and will try to flee from owner. He would not allow previous owner to get near him. He will struggle when trying to be put her into a carrier as well. Previous owner never disturbed him while she was sleeping.

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Rover tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He/she may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
