ARGO – A1066564
Gone - 3-7-2016 Manhattan
***GONE 03/07/16*** SIX MONTH OLD ARGO HAS SOME URINARY TRACT ISSUES, BUT THE ACC WOULD RATHER KILL THAN TREAT HIM!! ARGO came into the shelter as a stray. He is suffering with some kind of urinary infection and has blood in his urine and needs to be tested for kidney stones or other things that are causing him pain. ARGO is allowing handling but is obviously not feeling well so he sadly was EXPERIENCE rated. How such a young kitten got this serious a condition is not known but what is needed is immediate vet care. ARGO needs a foster home or an adopter who will get him the medical he needs so he can recuperate and go back to being a kitten! IF YOU CAN HELP ARGO, PLEASE HURRY AND CONTACT A RESCUE NOW TO SAVE HIS LIFE. FOSTERING WILL GET HIM THE VETTING HE NEEDS. EMAIL THE HELP DESK AT [email protected] FOR RESCUE INFO NOW!

WEB MEMO
No Web Memo
03/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Argo was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. He hid in the back of his carrier and would quickly try to return to the carrier for safety when allowed outside of it. His ears flatten and he remains still when pet. Although he was tense and nervous, he allowed handling throughout the intake process and during his initial medical exam. Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior. Reaction to assessor: Argo was resting upon approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: Argo looks at the assessor and starts breathing rapidly. Reaction to cage door opening: Argo remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Argo was hesitant and lowers his entire body. He hisses briefly and his ears bend flat against his head, but he remains in place and allows gentle petting on his head and along his body. He closes his eyes throughout the interaction. Behavior Determination: Experience In spite of Argo’s condition, he remains tolerant of petting and attention. We may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
