***SAFE 07/15/15*** SECOND CHANCE FOR ADORABLE CINDY!! “FRIENDLY, AFFECTIONATE” ZAFTIG SENIOR TABBY GIRL, DUMPED FOR “PERSONAL PROBLEMS”, WILL DIE BECAUSE SHE SNEEZED – PLEASE GRANT CINDY A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Gorgeous brown tabby and white elder-cat CINDY, 10 years old, was dumped into the kill-happy ACC due to PERSONAL PROBLEMS. This zaftig gal weighs a whopping 20 pounds, so a diet is definitely in order! At home, sweet Cindy was “FRIENDLY and AFFECTIONATE”, with a low activity level. Cindy is “TALKATIVE and CONFIDENT”, even around new people! Cindy earned a very good EXPERIENCE behavior rating, but sadly, this voluptuous lovebug caught the notorious ACC kitty cold. The ACC prefers to KILL rather than CURE, so Cindy will DIE at noon tomorrow, unless someone – why not YOU? – saves her life. Please start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt adorable big senior girl CINDY! If you can’t save CINDY yourself, please SHARE her sad story and PLEDGE for her rescue!

06/28/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: Cindy was calm and relaxed upon approach. When softly spoken to, she looks at the assessor and sniffs around, while remaining sitting upright. Reaction to cage door opening: Cindy remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Cindy was very hesitant of touch; she sniffs the assessor’s hand for a lengthy period of time and slowly backs away from the hand. After a moment, she allows stroke on her head and back, relaxes a little, but lip licks during the interaction. As per previous owner, Cindy is described as mellow with a low activity level. She has been around a Chihuahua once, but became defensive so they were separated. Owner says Cindy is talkative and confident around new people. She is afraid of being picked up and held, but likes to play with toys and will follow the owner around the house occasionally. Behavior Determination: Experience Cindy tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up in her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
