This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Confetti is on the at risk list due to behavior. She is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. She has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. Due to his/her stress levels, it is in her best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. She would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give her plenty of time and space to adjust, and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers.What my friends at ACC say about me:My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children.I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing.Confetti tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.A volunteer writes: Found on the side of the Jackie Robinson Parkway, which is no place for a lost little cat, Confetti came to us feeling not quite ready for her namesake party name. A good Samaritan pulled over and brought Confetti to us where we've been trying our best to get to know her a little bit better. Though she'll allow a few pets from time to time, Confetti's been pretty grumbly about shelter life thus far and I can't really say I blame her. Our offers of toys and treats are greeted with hisses and our attempts at conversations are swiftly halted. We know there's a forever family out there who will offer Confetti a second chance and the opportunity to feel safe and loved. Though she had a tougher beginning, a brighter future certainly awaits. Primary Color: Gray Weight: 8.61 Age: 1yrs 1mths 2wks
