Shelby was dumped in a bad area in the city. She was reaching out to anyone, scared, sick and desperate for help. Shelby is now vetted and ready for adoption. I can tell Shelby had been abused... probably slapped. She still sometimes ducks her head when we attempt to pet her. This should clear up with time and trust. She is out with our other cats, and aside for some hissing and chasing, is doing amazing with them! And, she is definitely a LAP CAT! Please contact Amy at (315) 753-9227 and/or Voice4TheVoicelessAdoptions@gmail.com for more information on how to adopt Shelby.
