Animal Profile
Obie
Hello, my name is Obie. My animal id is #225404. I am a desexed female orange tabby cat at the . The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 months old.
I came into the shelter as a aco - impound on 4/24/2025.

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
Obie is on the At Risk list due to behavior. She is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. She has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. Due to her stress levels, it is in her best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. She would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give her plenty of time and space to adjust, and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers. Medically Obie has dental disease with minor staining.

VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Bold,Shy ,Timid,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,New home adjustment period,Adult cat socialization

RECOMMENDATIONS:: Adult only home
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Upon approach Obie was curled up in her den growling. She ignored treats and spat when staff tried to get closer to attempt petting with the scratch tool. Staff attempted contact again and Obie spat and hissed. Due to high FAS, staff ended the interaction. Obie is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before in a home. She has is extremely fearful in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
