11/30/15 15:13 Buttons is a 4 year old male nuetered black domestic shorthair cat who is being surrendered because the owner wants him to have a better home. Buttons has been in the home 6 weeks. Buttons lived with 1 adult, a cocker spaniel dog and another. Buttons is indifferent but respectful of the dog in the home.

He is an indoor cat and uses an open litter box with clumping litter. Buttons is tolerant of a bath and allows nail trims. Buttons has not had a chance to give a hair brushing yet. He does enjoy being picked up. Buttons will struggle when being put in a carrier. Buttons likes to swat at rope toys. He does not use a scratching post but prefers to scratch on bark which has been provided for him by the owner. At times he has also scratched on the owners stereo speakers. When the owner is home he likes to be in his home place. When home alone he is well behaved. Buttons likes both wet and dry food. Upon intake Buttons was shy but receptive to introduction. Buttons attempted to flee for handling but was not defensive, tense or insistent. Counselor was able to scan for microchip (negative) collar and photograph. Buttons allowed petting but was very still and for this. Buttons was slightly resistant to being placed in the carrier.

12/14/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Buttons will eye you with his big green eyes, shy at first, but give him a chance and see that he is a nice kitty. Feel his shinny black fur which is like silk. He will do good in a one cat home where there is not a lot of activity. He is affectionate and easy to handle. He will make a nice lap buddy. Another volunteer writes: Buttons is a long, sleek panther of a cat, handsome and affectionate. He comes right up to the door of his kennel when you whisper his name, and he adores being petted. Button’s former companions noted that he would prefer to be the only cat in the house. I figure he likes attention so much that he doesn’t want to share his friends with other cats! But Buttons is more than enough kitty for someone to love and take care of. I’m sure he’ll pay it all back and then some!
