Yan Yan - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.

Yan Yan is on the At Risk list due to behavior. He is not thriving in the care center and continues to display distance-increasing behavior when approached for interactions. He has not warmed up despite staff using treats to build a positive association. Due to his stress levels, it is in his best interest to move out of the kennel environment and into a stable home as quickly as possible. He would do best in a home with adopters who are willing to give him plenty of time and space to adjust, and who have experience with helping a fearful cat adjust to strangers. Yan Yan has moderate dental disease.
