Animal Profile


Ms Snowy

Hello, my name is Ms Snowy. My animal id is #264095. I am a desexed female white cat at the Queens Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 6 years old.

I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 9/1/2026, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance - unhoused.

Ms Snowy is on the at-risk list due to medical concerns. Ms Snowy is a nervous but sweet cat who was surrendered by her owner due to them not being able to care for her. We have assessed that Ms Snowy has heart disease. Ms Snowy will need a follow up with a cardiologist and may need daily maintenance with their medical condition. Ms Snowy has allowed all handling during their exams.

What my friends at ACC say about me: Ms Snowy tolerates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. She will likely need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that she go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Calm,Sweet,Timid

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,New home adjustment period

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 2

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: At the back of the kennel, Ms Snowy looks up with forward ears and her eyes neutral when the assessor entered and greeted her; she had no reaction and no interest in treats that were offered as she remained still with her paws tucked and her tail wrapped. When the tool was brought in she immediately started to lean into cheek rubs while closing her eyes and her ears tilting. When the assessor used the tool to pet down and around her back/body she started to slowly stand with a mid level body and tail as she curious looked around the kennel. Ms Snowy was hesitant to step forward and had a slightly tense body with her shoulders inching up but she allowed the assessor to pick her up and place her at the front of the kennel where she stood with a mid level tail and neutral body as she enjoyed cheek pets as she leaned in for more. Ms Snowy tolerates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. She will likely need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that she go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior.
