During interactions, Brewster is now quick to escalate to lunging and swatting. When lunging, Brewster will smack his face into the den or into the kennel bars. Given his fearful behavior and inability to have successful interactions, it is in his best interest to be moved out of the kennel environment as quickly as possible.

Upon arrival, Sky was avoidant of touch and would hiss when approached. During her stay, her responses have escalated to growling, lunging, swatting, and biting the touch tool. These behaviors have contributed to increased stress among neighboring cats in the room. Sky would benefit from placement in a home with adopters who can provide adequate time and space for her to acclimate and who have experience supporting fearful cats as they adjust to unfamiliar people and environments. Medically, Sky has gingivitis.
What my friends at ACC say about me:
I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
