Animal Profile


Sabrina

Hello, my name is Sabrina. My animal id is #267150. I am a female tabby cat at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 10/2/2026.

Sabrina is on the at risk list for medical reasons. Sabrina has been diagnosed with kidney failure and severe anemia; an acute kidney injury (ie. toxin, kidney infection, other) is suspected. Her bloodwork shows severe elevations in her kidney values as well as a severe anemia; however, Sabrina has clinically improved with supportive care and is eating small amounts and is overall brighter than she was at intake. She will need continued hospitalization with placement and her long-term prognosis is guarded at this time pending continued response to treatment. Behaviorally, Sabrina is fearful, but is warming up. Today she began leaning into petting and purring after warming.

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

What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy! My purr motor is always running! Need some biscuits for your breakfast? I'm an expert kneader! I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I'll need daily interaction with you as I get used to my new life. I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy!

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Upon approach Sabrina is sitting on top of her hidey box. The assessor opens the kennel door and greets, she looks at them with a neutral face and body. The assessor offers her their hand to smell. She sniffs at it before gently headbunting. Although slightly flinchy at first, Sabrina accepts and appreciates head and neck pets. The assessor attempts to coax her down from the box. After a few passes over her body, she jumps down purring and approaches the assessor. Sabrina's face and body are relaxed as she accepts and appreciates all pets from the assessor. She purrs as she rubs against their arms, she kneads into the base of the kennel where she stands. Sabrina allows for pickup without issue. Sabrina interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience and demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
