Brooklyn Center
BOB – A1064399
I am an unaltered male, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair.
The shelter staff think I am about 5 years old.
I weigh 7 pounds.
I was found in NY 11231.
I have been at the shelter since Feb 04, 2016.
BEHAVIOR: AVERAGE
A re-evaluation was done when Bob began showing some behavioral improvement in the care center.
Reaction to assessor: Bob does not come to front but looks at you calm and relaxed
When spoken quietly: Bob comes to the front of cage and starts soliciting attention by rubbing against door
Reaction to door cage opening: Bob remains soft and relaxed
Reaction to touch: Bob solicits petting and attention
Try picking cat up: Bob is tolerant of this type of handling
Behavior Determination: Average
Bob was brought to the care center as a stray so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies previous to what we are seeing during the evaluation. At the time of the assessment he was displaying friendly behavior, did not come to the front of the kennel but interacts with the Assessor, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. Bob is displaying behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————
Bob was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. The finder reports he was easy to handle. He was friendly and allowed handling during his initial medical exam. He allows petting during his re-exam, but he resents handling.
Reaction to Assessor: Bob was calm and relaxed upon approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Bob looks at the assessor with relaxed eyes.
Reaction to cage door opening: Bob becomes stiff and alert.
Reaction to touch: Bob was hesitant, but will head-butt and arch his back into petting when approached slowly. He becomes tense at times and begins to growl randomly.
Reaction to being picked up: Bob was tense with pick up, but remains calm while growling. When put back in his cage, he took some time before allowing petting again.
Placement Determination: Experience No Child
Bob tolerates attention and petting but may be stressed in the shelter, and only allow limited handling. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Treats should be used to reward appropriate responses to physical attention. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced cat parents and without children.
