This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Yaneya has been placed on the at risk list for medical reasons. She has not eaten in over 5 days and she has been constipated. She has changes in kidneys and an old fracture of her pelvis. She has high level of fear and anxiety. What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home. Yaneya tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may be a little more independent and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, she may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.

Details on my behavior are...
Behavior Condition: 4. Orange
KNOWN HISTORY:: Yaneya was brought in with limited information on her behavior history in a home environment. She was stated as elusive but relatively easy to pick up when picked up by field staff.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 6/24/26 Vol. Yaneya was crouched on shelf in main kennel. Her eyes were squinty, with large pupils. She briefly sniffed at crunchy treats offered on scratcher tool, but did not eat. She tolerated brief petting on shoulders with scratcher tool, then began to grumble quietly. She continued to grumble when offered a feather toy. After speaking to her softly for a minute, she returned a slow blinks.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Subdued
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Shy ,Timid,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,New home adjustment period
Potential challenges comments:: See relevant behavior flyers.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 3
RECOMMENDATIONS:: No young children
Recommendations comments:: Yaneya has been fearful during her stay at the care center and may be intimidated by young children. No children under age 13, respectful older children only. Counselor discretion.
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Yaneya is sitting upright at the back of her den as the assessor approaches, eyes wide, pupils dilated, and body tense. When the kennel door is opened and the den cover is lifted, she remains frozen in place at the back of the den. She is softly spoken to, and treats are offered but she does not respond to them, lip licking as they are passed through the portal exit. When petting is attempted with the scratcher tool, she is tolerant of some petting on the head and cheeks but begins low growling, trembling, and slowly lifting up a paw. Pickup is not attempted due to observed behavior, and the interaction is ended to reduce stress. Yaneya tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may be a little more independent and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, she may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.
