BEHAVIOR:
What my friends at ACC say about me:
* I have lived with cats in my previous home.
* I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing.
* I was dumped at the overflowing kill shelter along with my bonded sister Spanky (81720) and we would love to find our furever home together!
Casper appreciates attention and petting but appears to be sensitive to her environment and is 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. Casper may be intimidated by children and would do best in a calm, low-traffic, adult-only home.
