04/23/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
04/23/17 14:50 Jacquex is friendly and outgoing towards strangers and usually approaches them for a good sniff. He lives with a 1 year old child and is relaxed and affectionate with him. He plays gently with both adults and children and has lived with two female cats who he was relaxed and affectionate with and two dogs (Yorkie and Pitbull) and was respectful of their space. When they approached him he would run away. He has never bitten another animal or human. Jacquex is alert when traveling in the car. Ever since he had a catheter 6 months ago to help with crystals he’s been having litterbox issues. He will lose control of his bladder and leak a little bit of pee outside the litterbox. He went to the vet for this issue and needs more medication. He struggles when given a bath but isn’t bothered when it’s time to get his nails trimmed. He enjoys being brushed and picked up. Jacquex is usually fine when it’s time to go into the carrier but his owner said today he struggled a bit. He isn’t bothered when awoken from his slumber. Jacquex is friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, and talkative. He has a high activity level and when he’s ready to play enjoys string and wand toys, catnip, and chasing toys. His owner loves how he will eat with his hands sometimes like a human and will follow her around when home. When he’s not following her around, Jacquex is usually found on his owner’s bed. He’s kept indoors only and sleeps on his owner’s bed. Jacquex is litterbox trained but has been having some issues ever since he began having bladder issues. He usually goes in his hooded litterbox full of clumping litter. He kneads on furniture but always takes scratching to his veritcal scratching post made out of smooth wood and carpet. He eats Science Diet CD/Urinary Stress dry food and is left a bowl out all day. He usually eats half a can of wet food, once a day. He is not allowed treats due to his special diet. On intake, Jacquex allowed counselor to pick him up out of his carrier and place him on the counter. He allowed collaring and sat still for pictures but kept moving his head to survey the area.

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Lived indoors Previously lived with: Adults and a 1 year old child Behavior toward strangers: Friendly and outgoing, usually approaching them for a good sniff Behavior toward children: Relaxed and affectionate Behavior toward cats: Relaxed and affectionate Behavior toward dogs: Respects their space, runs away when they approach him Bite or Scratch history: None Litter box training: Yes, but he has been having some issues since he started having bladder issues. Energy level/descriptors: Jacquex is friendly, affectionate, playful, mellow, and talkative with a high activity level. He likes to play with string and wand toys, catnip, and chasing toys. His owner loves how he will eat with his hands sometimes like a human and will follow her around when home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Observed Behavior – nervous, allows full exam, tries to escape EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Jacquex was lying down by the front, looking around, calm and relaxed. Reaction when softly spoken to: Jacquex looks at the assessor briefly, and then he continues to look around him. Reaction to cage door opening: Jacquex becomes alert, but remains in place. Reaction to touch: Jacquex pokes his head forward to sniff the assessor and accepts petting. He appears wary of his surroundings, but his eyes soften during the interaction and he leans in for cheek rubs. Reaction to being picked up: Did not attempt ACTIVITY LEVEL: Cannot assess VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Curious, Sweet POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Inappropriate elimination – Jacquex’s previous owner reports that he was urinating outside the litter. Please note that he has been diagnosed with and is being treated for Feline Idiopathic Cystitis or bladder stones in the care center, which may be influencing the urination behavior. We cannot be sure whether this behavior will continue in a home environment after treatment for the medical condition has been completed, but 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. BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Average Jacquex interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
