07/12/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/12/17 17:10 Basic: Fifi is a 6 year old domestic shorthair who has not been altered. The owner has had her since she was 4 months old. Unfortunately, the owner has recently started getting extremely sick and is unable to care for Fifi. Fifi does not have any injuries or ailments that the owner knows about and she has also never been to a veterinarian. Socialization: Around strangers, Fifi is described as very friendly and she likes to come out and rub herself on the person’s legs. Fifi has never been around children but she has lived with one older gentleman her entire life and is very gentle with him. Fifi has never been around other cats or any dogs. Fifi has never bitten or scratched another animal or a person. Behavior: Fifi has always been very excellent at utilizing her litterbox but her owner recently fell sick and was unable to properly clean her litterbox so she would sometimes soil the home. Fifi meows when she is in a car and she struggles to be put inside a carrier because she has been inside her owner’s apartment since she was a kitten. Fifi enjoys taking a bath, being brushed, and being held. The owner has never tried to cut Fifi’s nails so he does not know how she would react to a nail trim. For a New Family to Know: Fifi is described as very playful and friendly. The owner describes Fifi’s activity level as high and he reports that she loves to jump up on high places and nap there. Fifi’s owner’s favorite thing about her is how she climbs on top of his feet when he has his feet up and just naps there for as long as he keeps his feet up. Fifi likes to play with toy balls. Fifi has been an indoors only cat her entire life. Fifi is used to sleeping on her own bed in a spare room the owner has. Fifi eats wet and dry food of any brand but she only likes to eat chicken and seafood. Fifi uses an uncovered litterbox with crystal litter. Fifi would scratch on the owner’s bicycle tires here and there.
