Meadow was picked up from a Brooklyn stoop after concerned neighbors reported he was vomiting and not himself. Even while feeling awful, he still allowed gentle pets and handling. Now that he's been treated and is feeling more stable, Meadow spends much of his time tucked into his den, watching the world with wide, thoughtful eyes. He's a shy, sensitive senior who's been through a scare and is quietly waiting for a calm, safe place to land.
My Ideal Home
Meadow will do best in a quiet, predictable home with experienced cat adopters who understand that some cats need extra time to feel secure. He's more of a "watch from the doorway" cat than a social butterfly. A patient person who can offer cozy hiding spots, soft bedding, and a gentle routine will help him relax. Let him set the pace and celebrate the small wins-a slow blink, a tiny head bump, or a brave step out of his den.
Good with Kids?
No young children. Meadow is timid and easily overwhelmed. A home with adults only, or calm, respectful teens who can give him space and move slowly around him, is the best fit.
Good with Other Pets?
It's unknown if Meadow has lived with other animals. Given his fearful, reserved nature, he may do best as the only pet. If joining a home with other animals, he'll need very slow, structured introductions and plenty of vertical space and hiding spots so he never feels cornered or pressured.
Overall Health
Meadow arrived very ill, with severe dehydration, blood in his urine, and labwork suggesting liver strain. He received fluids, antibiotics, and supportive care, and follow-up bloodwork shows these values have improved and stabilized. He has also received vaccines and parasite prevention. As a senior cat, he'll benefit from regular vet checks and continued monitoring of his urinary and liver health to keep him comfortable long-term.
Behavior Determination
Level 3 - Meadow tolerates gentle petting but is fearful and stressed in the shelter. He's looking for an experienced adopter in a calm, adult household (or with older teens) who can move slowly, respect his boundaries, and give him time to show his true personality at his own speed.
Other Fun Facts
• Even when sick on the stoop, he allowed gentle petting and handling
• Quiet, observant, and happiest when he has a safe den to retreat to
• Leans in to sniff tools and tolerates soft head pets once he feels secure
