*SAFE 05/10/15** Reading MILO’s biography shows the clear difference between a cat at home, and a cat under incredible stress at the shelter. This neutered 6-year-old boy is reported as being a laid-back rockstar at home, but he’s nervous enough at the shelter that he now carries a New Hope rating. MILO should unwind and return to his rockstar status once he gets into a foster/adoptive home, and for that, he needs a New Hope rescue partner tonight!

Personality Milo is good with kids 8 years and up although he isn’t very interested in playing; he is more of a lounge cat. He doesn’t have too much experience around other cats but would be willing to see how it goes. He is very well trained with his litter box and prefers to stay inside. Milo is not a fan of dogs. He can be active at times but mostly likes to just relax. Behavior Issues Milo does enjoy scratching the sofa and the curtains but he might love a good scratching post if it were offered. He did scratch his previous owner. He is indifferent to baths. Milo loves a good brushing. While Milo is pretty independent he is not bothered if you want to pick him up from time to time. For a new family to know Milo is a pretty low maintenance cat. He is not too familiar with toys but might love some. He is used to an uncovered litter box and Fresh Step crystals. His last owner fed him dry food but he also ate wet food. Milo likes to sleep on anything soft and he would love to hang out at your place forever!

Reaction to assessor: Milo looks tense in his cage when approached by the assessor. Reaction to door opening: Milo remains lying down by the front of the cage, yowling with pupils fully dilated and striking out of the cage door. Reaction to touch: Milo does not allow the stroke, spits, and swats at the assessor’s hand. Placement determination: NH ONLY Milo is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room. He is stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting.
