09/15/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
09/15/15 16:40 BASIC INFO Lucy’s family found her as a stray when she was a kitten 5 years ago. They surrendered her due to pet conflict. SOCIALIZATION Lucy is shy with new people for a few minutes. She plays somewhat rough with adults. She lived with two males and one female cat. She was best friends with one of the males. They were relaxed and affectionate together and spent most of their time with each other. Lucy had mostly ignored the other male cat and started fights with the female on rare occasions. Since her best friend has passed away, Lucy has been starting fights with the other female cat more often, and the other male cat has joined in and fought with her as well. None of the fights have caused any open scratches/bleeding/etc. Lucy hasn’t spent time with children or dogs. She’s never bit anyone. BEHAVIOR Lucy is relaxed in the car. She doesn’t mind when someone brushes her, puts her in a carrier, or wakes her up. She’s nervous when someone picks up and holds her. She struggles during nail trims. She had baths at the vet. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Lucy’s family describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, medium energy, and “feisty, in a good way.” She spends most of her time resting but likes to sit in her owner’s lap. She plays with balls. She lived inside. She ate ½ can of wet Fancy Feast and ½ cup dry Science Diet food twice daily. She’s littertrained and used an uncovered litterbox with clumping litter. She doesn’t scratch anything. INTAKE Lucy was tense with wide eyes. She looked around during handling-scan (-), collar, petting, picking up, positioning for pictures, and putting into a kennel. She was easy to handle and didn’t resist, retreat, or vocalize.

09/23/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
As per the previous owner, Lucy is shy with new people for a few moments. She plays somewhat rough with adults. She has lived with two males and one female cat. She was best friends with one of the males. They were relaxed and affectionate together and spent most of their time with each other. Lucy had mostly ignored the other male cat and started fights with the female on rare occasions. Since her best friend has passed away, Lucy has been starting fights with the other female cat more often. None of the fights have caused any open scratches or caused bleeding. Lucy’s family describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, medium energy, and “feisty, in a good way.” She spends most of her time resting but likes to sit in her owner’s lap. Reaction to assessor: Lucy was calm, relaxed, and friendly by the front. Reaction when softly spoken to: Lucy head-butts the cage door, but also starts to growl. She keeps focusing on the cat next to her cage. Reaction to cage door opening: Lucy remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Lucy head-butts and appreciates all petting, but continues to growl and pokes her head out of her cage to look at the cat next to her. The assessor attempts to blocks her view from the other cat and she seemed to calm down a little and solicited attention from the assessor, but she still seemed wary and kept looking in that direction. Reaction to being picked up: Lucy becomes tense, but allows handling. Lucy remains social and easy to handle with her human care takers, but please be aware that she may be uncomfortable around other cats. She has been noted to focus on another cat and growl in the care center. Her previous owner also reported her not getting along with another female cat. Due to this behavior, we recommend Lucy goes to a home with no other cats OR into a multi-cat home with adopters experienced with introducing new cats slowly and gradually over a long period of time. Behavior Determination: Average Lucy interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
