09/09/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
09/09/16 19:59 Basic Information: Jax is a three year old brown tabby cat. The owners stated that he is not neutered and that he had been in their care since he was a kitten. The family is no longer able to care for him due to finances. Socialization According to Jax’s previous owner’s he is a relaxed cat of moderate energy level. As a kitten he had been high energy but with age he has calmed down significantly. Most of his life has been spent around children ages (4-8). The owner mentioned that he is very patient with children, even when the kids in the home had played roughly with him. Additionally Jax had lived with a bull terrier puppy, and had enjoyed playing chase with the dog in the home. There was a point in time in which he also shared a home with another cat, and the owner described his relationship with that cat as playful. Behavior: One of Jax’s unique attributes is that he is known for walking to the sink, turning on the faucet and having a drink. He also has a tendency to meow when he needs someone to open the bathroom door for him. For the most part he had been an indoor cat. The owner did mention that she had taken him out for a walk but that his body had immediately tensed up and he did not seem to relax for the rest of the walk. Additionally he is known to consistently use his litter box, with few to no accidents. For a New Family to Know: He is a mellow cat that is not likely to jump on people. Instead he is more likely to lay there while you approach him and pet him. One of his favorite activities in his home had been utilizing his scratching post which was made of carpet. When he was not playing on his scratching post, he would look for any type of string to play with. In the home he had three favorite places to sleep; a perch on his scratching post, the bottom of the bed, and occasional naps in the sink. In terms of his diet he had been given Meow mix dry food. Behavior During Intake: Upon opening the carrier Jax immediately lifted his head and took in his surroundings. He was gently let out of the cage with the help of his owner. Outside the cage he was very mobile. He was walking around the table and looking at the ground attempting to jump down. He was active and did not want to be collared or handled very much. In his interactions with the counselor he remained tense and nervous. Once inside the carrier he seemed to relax more and was given some food which he quickly ate up.
