KIX – A1059885
Gone 12-12-2015 Brooklyn
***GONE 12/12/15*** KIX was DUMPED because of her behavior. The previous owner claims that KIX was going to the bathroom outside her litter box, yet nothing was done to see why! To make the litter box more accessible would be one thing, and another would be to see a VET for a possible UTI. But instead this owner took the coward’s easy out and just dumped her at the ACC. She’s just a year old, SPAYED and SCARED! She’s been RATED EXPNOCHILD due to her fearfulness, which is understandable! Please, offer to FOSTER or ADOPT KIX! The ACC gets their “KIX” out of killing cats…killing KIX would be no different!

12/10/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Kix was bought into the care center by her previous owner due to her behavior. She has lived with one adult and two other cats. She has not been around children or dogs. Around other cats she is fearful and does not engage in play. She will keep her distance and owner stated she will hiss when near them. She is not litterbox trained and will have accidents in the home daily. She has been kept indoors and has a low activity level. Kix’s previous owner reports that she was eliminating outside the litterbox but we are unaware of what, if any, modification steps were taken to try and address this behavior. Please note as well that Kix’s previous living situation may have contributed to the behavior seen. 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 Kix be provided with numerous litterboxes throughout the house as she adjusts to her new living space. The extra boxes can be removed as she learns the space and successfully defecates in her main litterbox. Reaction to assessor: Kix was hiding when I approach cage When spoken quietly: Kix continues to hide Reaction to door cage opening: Kix remains motionless Reaction to touch: Kix becomes very tense and allows very limited petting Try picking cat up: Kix not tolerant of this type of handling, very afraid and tries to flee. Behavior Determination: Experience No Child At the time of the assessment Kix was displaying fearful behavior; does not seek attention from the assessor and becomes alert when the kennel was open. Remains motionless as I started to get closer but after a steady slow approach using soft voices she relaxed a little. I was able to pet her and interact with her in a limited way. Although she was tense no fractious behavior was display. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents with no children.
