JELLY – 34564
Safe - 8-1-2018 Brooklyn
SAFE 8/1/18 NEW PHOTOS! Jelly was surrendered to the center due to allergies. She is a twelve year old gray and white female cat. She doesn’t have any health issues or injuries. Jelly is in need of a new home where she can live her golden years. A volunteer writes: Amber eyes and a loving nature of the enchantress, currently named Jelly, will not let you pass her by. She put out her paw to say hello and then rubbed her head in my hand and my arm. Every time I wanted to say good-bye she looked at me with her soulful sweet eyes and begged for just a little more affection time. She purrs with joy. I think I was purring with joy from meeting this exquisite dear girl. Do not let this darling leave with someone else. Hurry because she is just the sweetest addition to any home.

Allows full exam,calm
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
07/16/18
Lying in litterbox with a low, tense body, head lowered onto litterbox floor. She raises her head when touched and tolerates petting along her head and body while turning head to smell my hand  and licking her lips. Curious but unsure – needs more time to adjust.Â
07/17/18
Lying in cubby with a low, tense body. Raises head and leans in gently for petting. Sniffs treats I placed down next to her but doesn’t begin to eat them until after I’ve been petting her for a couple of minutes. She raises her rear into the air as my hand passes along her lower back, then begins to scent mark the kennel floor with her cheeks. Sweet girl – appreciates attention once approached.
07/18/18
Head lowered, and pressed up against the back wall of the cubby. Her ears bend slightly, and she looks around the kennel, scanning his surroundings. She sniffs my hand, then closes her eyes and leans in for cheek rubs. She rises up, nuzzles against my hand and slowly approaches the front of the cage while soliciting attention. Much more relaxed and confident today. Allowed all handling. Doing great!
07/19/18
Lying in back of cubby, body relaxed and eyes alert. Ears are forward. She rolls over onto her back when spoken to, belly in the air and tail tucked between legs. Leans in for petting as I step forward and stands up, tail raising as my hand passes along her back. She allows petting from the back of her cubby for a couple of minutes before stepping through her portal into her kennel. She allows all further petting from her perch while leaning in, raising her tail and giving me head-butts.

Cage is slightly re-arranged

ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Moderate
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy
Sweet
Curious
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Inappropriate elimination
Potential challenges comments:
Jelly’s previous owner reports that she was eliminating (urinating) outside the litter box, but we are unaware of what, if any, modification steps were taken to try and address this behavior. Please note as well that Jelly’s previous living situation may have contributed to the behavior seen. We cannot be sure whether this behavior will continue in a different home environment, 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. We also recommend that Jelly be provided with numerous litter boxes throughout the house as she adjusts to her new living space. The extra boxes can be removed as she learns the space and successfully defecates in her main litter box(es).
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:

Behavior Asilomar
