She states that her mothers home is in very bad shape. She says that she will be bringing in 2 other cats later in the day. A staff memebr spoke to her parents and got consent from them to allow the daughter to bring in the cats. Due to the nature of intake, no information is available homelife/behavior. Behavior during intake According to the owners daughter, all of the cats are very friendly and when you come in through the door, they all run up to greet you. They are very independent in the home. During intake, they allowed all handling-scanning(negative), collaring, and photographs. They took food and water and allowed petting. They are all friendly and easy to handle.
WEB MEMO
No Web Memo
06/29/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: Jasper was at the front and was calm and relaxed. When softly spoken to, he puts his head down and closes his eyes. Reaction to cage door opening: Jasper remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Jasper remains in place for petting, but his body twitches when touched. He seems indifferent throughout the interaction. Behavior Determination: Experience Jasper interacts with the observer, seems to appreciate attention, allows handling and tolerates all petting. Please note that he came in with a pre-existing medical condition, and it is difficult to tell at this time how the condition may be influencing the behavior. We feel that placement with experienced cat adopters is in Jasper’s best interest.
