My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

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

Romero is on the at-risk list for medical reasons. Romero is an adult diabetic cat. We are unable to manage his diabetes in the shelter effectively. Romero should be placed in a home that is prepared to medically manage his diabetes long-term, as this is most often a life-long condition.

My foster writes:
Romero! A shy, sweet, and happy black void. He seems to love being around people and, after some warming up, he'll be a charming love bug! Romero needs to be understood and he will let you know when he needs something with some sweet rubbing against you and cute plops on his back.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

What do you get when you cross a cat with a couch? A cat-potato! And that's me to a T!

I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you.

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.

Romero interacts with the observer, appreciates attention and allows all petting, but did not appear to like being picked up during their behavior evaluation. He grumbles and low growls when pick up was attempted. Please keep in mind there are many reasons why a cat may be uncomfortable with this type of handling and that this may not necessarily translate into a home environment. We recommend that this cat go to an adult-only home with experienced cat parents.
