My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.

Mickey is on the at-risk list due to behavior. He is an under socialized adult cat and is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. He has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. Due to his stress levels, it is in his best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. He would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give him plenty of time and space to adjust, and who have experience with under socialized cats and helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I have lived with cats in my previous home.

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you.

Mickey, Mickey, he's so fine.

spending most of his free time in his cozy den. He calmly accepts petting, and likes to be approached slowly. He is also a very handsome- looking guy. He is waiting patiently to meet you at our Queens center.
