BEHAVIOR:
Behavior Assessment
KNOWN HISTORY: The client reported they found Trucker three weeks ago, but could not keep him due to apartment pet policy.
Previously lived with: 1 Adult
Behavior toward strangers: He is reported to warm up before two weeks. Once warmed up he is curious, plays gently, friendly and outgoing with strangers.
Behavior toward children: No experience
Behavior toward cats: No experience
Behavior toward dogs: No experience
Bite or Scratch history: None
Energy level/descriptors: Medium
Other notes: He is an indoor cat who is reported to be friendly and enjoys being a lap cat. He plays gently and likes to chance/pounce on toys. Previous owner's favorite thing is when he is on their lap Trucker will gently paw at his face for pets. He was previously on a dry food diet with no specific brand. He previously had access to one uncovered litter box with unscented litter located in the bathroom.
Upon intake, he was fearful but calm while in the carrier and observant of staffs' movements. He allowed to be pet, scanned for M/C, and an ACC collar was placed.
EVALUATION:
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow
VOCAL: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: Sweet Affectionate Lap Cat Timid Skittish
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
New home adjustment period
Potential challenges comments: Trucker has been through several major transitions lately and may need extra time to adjust to his new home. Adopters should be prepared to allow him to settle in at his own pace and provide a calm, predictable environment where he has the ability to retreat and decompress as needed.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Level 2
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Upon approach, Trucker is resting on top of his den. He can be heard low-growling for a few moments, then he yawns as the assessor enters, then comes forward to greet them. He has a relaxed body and looks up at them with a calm expression and neutral ears. He gently leans into petting on his head and along his back, gently pushing closer to the assessor and purring softly. He allows a brief pick up with no issue, loose in the hold. Once set back down, he continues to purr and solicit attention. As the kennel door is closed to end the assessment, he again begins low-growling, then crawls back up to his den and lies down.
Trucker appreciates attention and petting but appears to be moderately fearful or stressed in the shelter. He will likely need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that he go to a home with some cat experience preferred or at least be well counseled in fearful cat behavior.
Other: Level 2 - 10/01/26
What my friends at ACC say about me:
My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!
Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!
I am a sweet, social, older gentleman, looking for the perfect forever home!
I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.

Pledging here only: ) https://tinyurl.com/byvfbn28 for ACCT-A-263324

Meet Waliyah ACCT-A-263324! Waliyah came to ACCT as an owner-surrender on 10/4 when her owners got “tired” of her not grooming herself and not using the litter box appropriately. Her owners even tried having her professionally groomed and Waliyah was just not having it. At ACCT, Waliyah has shown how overwhelmed she is by all these sudden changes in her life by being fearful & averse to handling… and to top it all off, it’s been discovered that not only does Waliyah have a shelter-acquired URI (upper respiratory infection)… she is also diabetic.
Due to her fearfulness and urgent ongoing need for medical care that ACCT is unable to provide at this time due to an extremely high volume of animals coming in, Waliyah is seeking immediate exit with a rescue partner who can address her needs, both physical and emotional!

Waliyah tolerates pets despite not feeling amazing:
https://youtube.com/shorts/rqEXZQBpS9g?feature=share
BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per staff 10/13:
I said hi to miss Waliyah today, but I kept it brief because the poor girl just doesn’t look like she’s feeling her best. She was very tolerant of my approach and her eyes even softened a bit as I was talking to her. She seems like a sweet girl who could be a great companion to the right person who’s willing to respect her boundaries and give her the time & space she needs to feel comfortable again.
Per staff 10/5:
Very chatty! Sprawled on her side in kennel, but immediately perked up when I spoke to her and she began to meow at me. She has very few kitty minutes available for any petting.
Per owner-surrender form:
yes when she's hungry she can be a bit bossy, she also p*e And may p**p at times IN the house at times. I believe its because my daughter has another CAT AND my brother Also Took over her space And he use the bathroom where her litter is, which is the reason I believe she goes to the bathRoom In strange places. Also she has very bad nerves, when she's see Scared she breath heavy and hard. also SPCA Put on gabeptin for her nerves

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: On approach, Spock is standing at the front of the cage with a soft and neutral face and body, ears forward, and tail raised. He moves over into the cubby and when the door is opened, he pokes his head out to look at the assessor and the room itself. He sniffs the hand offered out to him and accepts pets along his head, cheeks, and back as he leans into all touch. When he steps forward even more, he allows the assessor to lift him up and hold him in their arms as they pet his cheeks, and place him back in the cubby without issue.
Spock interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is suitable for any level of adopter experience

10/13/26 URGENT NYC ACC Diabetic cat Buggie 2nd chance!! Buggie needs out by Thursday 10/15 at 12 Noon!!

Buggie is on the at-risk list for medical reasons. He is a sweet cat with diabetes mellitus. He needs placement in a low stress home with long term management of his condition by a local veterinarian. Behaviorally, Buggie is soft bodied, solicits pets often, and allows all medical handling.
*** A volunteer writes:
A volunteer writes: Buggie and his mom Momma Precious came to us as the dogs in the house were becoming increasingly aggressive toward them. Poor Buggle was all worked up and started to throw up. Very quickly, our veterinary team discovered that Buggie had Diabetes Mellitus (with ketosis) and he was started on Insulin. Stress in his home was not a good thing for his medical condition.. Buggie and his mom were super friendly upon admission to the care center and Buggie revealed himself to be a a very good patient, eating well too. Actually, he is a total sweetheart!! At home, his former owners describe him as sweet and loving, very active and playful, needing time to warm up to strangers and living harmoniously with Momma Precious. Buggie is quite cute too and his pretty eyes look so much like his mom's. Buggie needs out in a less stressful environment(definitively without dogs) and a follow up for his DM by an outside veterinarian. He is a really nice and sweet little guy, already neutered and who did very well on his behavior evaluation. Buggie needs you now.

* I have lived with cats in my previous home.
* I am finding the shelter a bit overwhelming. Outside one-on-one I am a great big cuddle bug.
* I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.
* I have lived with dogs in my previous home and was fearful and defensive around them. I would do best in a home without dogs!
Buggie interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems.

Marty is a 7-year-old male who came in as a stray on 10/14/26. Marty was found as a stray at another shelter, in which he was diagnosed with diabetes. He previously entered our shelter in July 2019, adopted out, found as a stray in September 2026 & then reclaimed by owner. He was friendly with staff prior to shaving & very much enjoys churu, but during the shaving process, he lunged & dug his claws into the doctor’s arm. Due to this, Marty is on rabies observation/bite quarantine through 10/24/26, and must remain in the state of Pennsylvania. Marty is looking for urgent placement by end of day tomorrow due to his diabetes.
