Safe - 9-7-2016 Brooklyn
SAFE 9/7/16 Mr. Gray was apparently abandoned, brought to BACC as a stray, but was clearly someone’s pet in the past. He’s the sweetest fella, loves attention! Give this older gent a loving home to enjoy his golden years—you’ll be repaid a thousand times over in unconditional love!!

Behavior
08/31/16 12:46
Comes forward and rubs on door when spoken to. Very affectionate and sweet. Rubs all over you, purring, and nudging your hand with his nose. Total lovebug!
Gray was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
Reaction to assessor: Gray was eating his food at the front of the kennel.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Gray starts to purr softly and lightly head butts against the kennel door.
Reaction to cage door opening: Gray is calm and relaxed.
Reaction to touch: Gray rubs up for attention, lightly head butts and walks out the kennel on to the assessor’s lap. He is incredibly affectionate and allows petting all over.
Reaction to being picked up: Gray is relaxed with a soft body and continues to head butt the assessor when held.
Behavior Determination: Beginner
Gray interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat can go to a beginner home.
