SNOW QUEEN – A1084427
Gone - 8-19-2016 Brooklyn
**GONE 08/19/16** SHE MADE THE ACC LOOK BAD, SO THEY ARE PUNISHING HER WITH A NEW HOPE RATING! Meet SNOW QUEEN, a 2-year-old girl who was taken to the shelter by someone whose “personal problems” were more compelling to them, than the safety and lifespan of their cat. Her owner surrender notes show a pretty nice girl, mellow in the home and good with a 5-year-old kiddo. SNOW QUEEN must have been terrified beyond measure when her trusted owner handed her over to the ACC, because check this out: “scratched and bit technician, escaped.” That happened during her initial medical exam, and though her EXPNOCHILD rating should indicate that she would be available for direct adoption, SHE IS NEW HOPE RATED ONLY! It requires a NEW HOPE RESCUE to pull her to safety tonight, and rescues need fosters in order to save lives. Please advocate relentlessly for SNOW QUEEN tonight!

Behavior Determination: Experience No Child Snow Queen tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced cat parents and without children.
