Animal Profile


Tiger

Hello, my name is Tiger. My animal id is #27144. I am a desexed male brown tabby cat at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 7 years 1 months 3 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 3/14/2025, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- no time for animal.

Tiger is on the at-risk list for medical concerns. Tiger is a 7-year-old cat with very high FAS in shelter and a poor appetite with significant weight loss. He recently had a dental procedure with extractions. He was diagnosed with a URI on 4/1 and his appetite has declined again. He will need close monitoring with placement and a calm quiet environment with minimal stress. If his appetite does not improve, he will need to see a veterinarian for follow up. Behaviorally, Tiger initially tolerated medical handling, but has since begun swatting. He has been fearful and tense throughout his time in ICU.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Tiger is on the at-risk list for medical concerns.

He has been fearful and tense throughout his time in ICU. What my friends at ACC say about me: I have lived with cats in my previous home. I have lived with dogs in my previous home. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets. Tiger tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 3/19/25 FB61 Has moved from soft bed back to cat den overnight. He lays down with his head resting on the den floor, ears tilted and feet and tail tucked. He tolerates all petting while slow-blinking hard. He is tolerant of other cats approaching while remaining in position and also slow-blinking at them hard. Nervous boy, needs more time to adjust. No interest in treats at this time. 3/27/25 FB61 In cat den upon approach, head facing away from kennel door and feet and tail tucked. He is tense with wide eyes and he tolerates all petting while tucking his head furhter into the corner of the den and hiding his face. Poor guy. I leave him a catnip toy and end the session.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Shy ,Timid,Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,New home adjustment period

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 3

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Inside of his den, Tiger is laying with his tail loosely wrapped, forward ears and almond eyes when the assessor lifts the den cover for a better view; he has no interest in the treats that were tossed inside and allowed the assessor to pet on his head, cheeks as well as down and around his body with their hand. Tiger remained very still/frozen throughout the interaction but soon started to lip lick as he looked around the den for an escape to avoid the assessor. Pick up was not attempted at this time. Tiger tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
