BEHAVIOR—Experienced Home

Reaction to assessor: Boots was calm and relaxed upon approach. She slowly comes to the front, attempts to sniff the assessor, and lip licks when softly spoken to.

Reaction to cage door opening: Boots remains soft and relaxed.

Reaction to touch: Boots was hesitant of touch, but closes her eyes and head-butts lightly. She starts to purr, but continues to watch and seems cautious of the assessor’s hand during the interaction.

As per previous owner, Boots is friendly and outgoing with strangers. She has never been around children, but she is gently and loves to play around adults. She has never bitten or scratched anyone. The owner describes Boots as friendly and playful cat with a very high activity level. In the last few months, Boots has been having daily accidents outside of her litter box. She has seen a vet two years ago for this problem and they stated that it is due to an inflammation.

Behavior Determination: Experience

Boots tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.

Socialization:

The owner states that around strangers Boots is friendly and outgoing. Boots has not been around children but around adults she is gentle and loves to be play.

As of the last few months Boots has accidents (both peeing and pooping) outside of the litter box daily. She was last seen two years ago by a vet for this problem and the stated that it is due to inflammation (not specified).
