07/18/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/18/15 11:06 Karina A1044510 is an older female golden brown and white medium haired feline who was found in the finder’s residence lobby. The finder believes her owner passed away but wasn’t 100% if she was indeed their cat. The finder kept her in their home for a week in hopes someone would reclaim her. They stated Karina loves to eat, be petted & held. Karina is very thin and she didn’t use the litter box that was at her disposal, she “went” outside of the litter box. During intake Karina appeared dull and depressed and didn’t resist or vocalize in any way during intake. Karina allowed all handling. She allowed us to scan (-), collar her and take her pictures, including positioning her during the photo session.

07/22/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Karina came into the care center as a friendly stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. After a week in the finder’s home, she was described as affectionate. Her finder also reports that she urinated outside the litterbox while in her home. We are unaware of what, if any, modification steps were taken to try and address this behavior, or if there may be a medical condition contributing to this behavior. We cannot be sure whether this behavior will continue in a different home environment, but we recommend that potential adopters be comfortable with management and modification techniques for elimination outside the litterbox should this behavior continue in a home environment. We also recommend that Karina be provided with numerous litterboxes throughout the house as she adjusts to his/her new living space. The extra boxes can be removed as she learns the space and successfully defecates in her main litterbox(es). Reaction to assessor: Karina walks to the front of the cage when the assessor approaches. Reaction to cage door opening: Remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Karina allows all petting and solicits attention by leaning into the assessor’s hand. Placement determination: Experience Karina interacts with the Assessor, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting, and in terms of sociability appears approriate for an adopter with an average amount of cat experience. However, due to her reported possible litterbox issues/inapprorpriate elimination, we recommend an experienced adopter comfortable with managing this behavior.
