ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lively VOCAL: Somewhat chatty CHARACTER TYPE: Calm, Social, Affectionate POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Inappropriate elimination – Beigie ‘s previous owners report that she was eliminating (urinating and defecating) outside the litter box for 6 months]. We are unaware of what, if any, modifications steps were taken to try and address this behavior in the home, so we cannot be sure what the trigger may have been or if this behavior may continue in a future home. However, we recommend that potential adopters be comfortable with management and modification techniques for elimination outside the litter box should this behavior continue in a home environment.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Beigie may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
