The Dodo • • health
Key Points:
- Wonder, a senior tabby cat with uniquely flat "airplane" ears, was brought to Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC) after becoming homeless following his owner's death, initially displaying high fear and anxiety.
- Despite his tense demeanor and flat ears that made him appear unapproachable, ACC's feline behavior team and volunteers used patience, positive interactions, and treats to help Wonder gradually gain confidence.
- A note on his kennel explained that though Wonder might hiss initially, he is actually a sweet cat who enjoys gentle pets, encouraging visitors to approach him slowly.
- Volunteer Chelsey formed a bond with Wonder by respecting his space initially and then offering affection, revealing his softer side and helping him become more comfortable.
- ACC hopes
