Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Banchee. My animal id is #17932. I am a male black tabby cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years 1 weeks old. – P
I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 09-Jan-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- landlord won’t allow (nycha).
Banchee is at risk for behavioral reasons. Banchee has been fine whilst housed in a quiet holding room, but in the adoptions area his behavior and well being has been deteriorating. Medically, Banchee shows signs of Hematuria. We suspect an underlying feline urinary tract infection, but it may only be symptomatic of stress in the shelter environment. If signs are noted after he is in a more stable and stress free environment, then he may require a prescription diet long term.
My medical notes are…

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Banchee interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat can go to a beginner home. **UPDATE 01/16/18** Banchee’s previous owner reports he is shy when initially meeting strangers, but becomes friendly afterwards. He displays friendly behavior and appreciates attention, however he does not appear to be thriving in our busy adoption room. When approached by a stranger in adoption, he charges and strikes before retreating back into his cubby to hide. Back in the quieter holding room he displays friendly behavior and tolerates all handling and petting. He has otherwise been social and easy to handle, and remains appropriate for an adopter with an average amount of cat experience, however due to his response when approached in adoption, we recommend he goes to a home with experienced cat parents who will go slowly and give him time to acclimate to his new home and surroundings on his own pace.
