A volunteer writes:Val is a tiny ball of fluff, a pretty muted tortie only five months of age. She was found in the street, all by her lonesome and brought by a good samaritan to the care center. Val is frozen in place at the back of her cubby. Not a peep, not a move as my hand caresses her head and my finger traces her cheek. She makes herself almost disappear, turns around to face me again after a short while. She is not interested in playing or eating treats although she does venture in her kennel, likely at night to eat and do her business. I do not think that Val can hold the fort for much longer. I am waiting for a breakthrough that often(but not always) comes with time and daily enrichment by staff and volunteers. A home sweet home with an experienced, caring and patient adopter is likely the best remedy for Val's fears and may be that hope is in your hands. Val is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center.Time is the best healer! Val started to melt in my hands, leaning cautiously, closing her eyes while listening to encouraging words, sometimes going back to square one to come back and head bunts my fingers with a very faint purr. Her eyes are clearing up and they are beautiful and soulful. This little lamb needs an understanding adopter and a quiet home to bloom into a beautiful flower.Its time to meet her!Please check here for updated adoption hours.I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.What my friends at ACC say about me:Val 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.
