***SAFE 07/23/15*** BEGINNER-RATED HEADBUTTING TABBY KITTEN, DUMPED AS A NEUTERED “STRAY”, HAS A LOVING VOLUNTEER PLEA, BUT WILL DIE BECAUSE HE SNEEZED, DESPITE THE ACC’S “GOOD PROGNOSIS” – PLEASE GRANT R2D2 A DEATH ROW PARDON!!! Gorgeous one-year-old brown tabby kitten R2D2 finds himself flung into the ACC’s Death Camp for Kitties as a NEUTERED “STRAY”, but this sweet boy is so SUPER-FRIENDLY, it’s OBVIOUS that R2D2 is NO STRAY, but a lost or abandoned pet kitten! He soon caught the eye of an ACC volunteer, who writes: ” R2D2 is a handsome tabby with such a beautiful coat! He looks so lovingly at you, and he is playful. R2D2 also enjoys being petted. This young lad would do very well in the forever home of beginner cat parents.” R2D2 HEADBUTTED his way to a rare-but-perfect behavior rating of BEGINNER! But this darling kitten will DIE at noon tomorrow, just because he SNEEZED. The ACC prefers to KILL rather than CURE, but let’s reverse that dreadful ending for R2D2. Please start RIGHT NOW to apply to foster or adopt adorable tabby kitten lovebug R2D2! If you can’t save R2D2 yourself, please SHARE his sad story and PLEDGE for his rescue!

07/21/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – BEGINNER
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
R2D2 came into the care center as a friendly stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. He has been social and easy to handle since arrival. During his time in adoptions he consistently solicited attention by rubbing against the cage doors; at the time of his official behavior evaluation he is being treated for an upper respiratory infection and his behavior appears to be slightly subdued as a result, though still highly social. This evaluation reflects behavior observed while he was housed in adoptions. Reaction to assessor: R2D2 solicits attention by rubbing against the cage door. Reaction to cage door opening: Remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: R2D2 head butts the assessor’s hand, and allows all petting. He continues to solicit attention by leaning into the assessor’s hand during petting. Placement determination: Beginner R2D2 interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat can go to a beginner home.
