Reaction to assessor: comes to the front of the cage, soliciting attention(1)

When spoken quietly: stays at front, continues soliciting attention (1)

Reaction to door cage opening: remains soft & relaxed (1)

Reaction to touch: solicits petting and attention (1)

Try picking cat up: tolerant of this type of handling.

Placement Determination: Average

 

A volunteer writes: Dinky is elegant and mysterious. He’ll catch your eye with his gentle gaze and won’t let go. Once you start giving him attention, he turns into a puddle, rolling round and round until you drown in his love. He also likes to honk when he purrs. But don’t worry, he’s not a New York driver. He WANTS you to come into his lane!

 

Another volunteer writes: Dinky is a big boy who appears to be a shy guy until you reach in to rub behind his ears. Then he pulls himself up to his full size and ambles to the front of his kennel to greet your hand and gaze up appreciatively as you stroke his long, soft fur.  He sits purr-fectly still while you pet him, emitting this low, rumbling purr that almost sounds like he’s snoring. But no, Dinky’s wide awake, just fully enjoying all the love and affection you have to give him.
