**SAFE 01/08/16**DARLING DOLLY NEEDS NEW FRIEND! Six year old Dolly is a sweet and petite precious pet who needs us to advocate for her tonight. Dolly lived with two adults and two teenagers with whom she got along well with. She is used to living with other cats with whom she is very affectionate and playful towards. She is calm and gentle. Dolly was surrendered due to “personal problems” but it sounds like she was given up due to having some litterbox issues. However, the owners never bothered to have this great gal spayed or checked out by a vet to address this issue—instead they dump her at the kill happy shelter where her precious life is on the line tonight. Would you be the kind purrson to offer sweet Dolly a new “leash” on life by pulling her from the shelter? We suspect some of her litterbox issues will be resolved once she is fixed. Please give this great gal a chance at a happy new life. Let us know if you can help—contact our help desk. Darling Dolly needs a new friend if she is going to make it past tomorrow afternoon. Please make the call for her NOW!!!

01/04/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Dolly’s previous owner states that she has lived with two adults and teenagers ages 13 and 14 years old. She is usually tolerant of everyone in the home. She has lived with two other cats and is playing and affectionate with them. She has never been around dogs, but has a high activity level when she is home alone with one person. The owner described her as shy and fearful and says she likes to be alone and stay hidden. She mainly interacts with one person in the home. Reaction to Assessor: Dolly was curled up by the back of her cage upon approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: Dolly averts her gaze and blinks. Reaction to cage door opening: Dolly remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Dolly remains in place and is immobile when pet. She allows the assessor to pet her on her head and back, remaining completely immobile. She will lean slightly into petting when rubbed on her cheeks, but her tail remains tucked close to her body. Reaction to being picked up: Dolly is a bit tense, but remains calm and allows handling. Dolly’s previous owner stated she has been defecating and urinating outside of the litter box a few times a month. This has been going on for the past three years. 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. Placement Determination: Experience Dolly tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. She 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.
