Profile
Basic Info:
Lacy Ann A1089260 is a 15yr old spayed calico DSH feline who was bought from a petstore 15yrs ago & is being surrendered along with her “sister” Diamond A1089259 due to the owner not wanting them anymore/a child is allergic to them. They were last seen by a veterinarian a few years ago and currently have no known health issues/injuries.
Socialization:
Around strangers Lacy Ann is friendly/outgoing. She’s lived with a 1yr old but will hiss & or run/hide from them. With the adults she was gentle, relaxed, playful & affectionate with them. Diamond is a bully towards her and would swat, hiss and or chase her if Lacy Ann attempted to do things before Diamond would. Lacy Ann hasn’t bitten/scratched any person or animal.
Behavior:
Lacy Ann isn’t bothered by the following: having her nails trimmed, being brushed, being in a car, being picked up/held or with being placed into a carrier. She hasn’t been given a bath nor has she been disturbed while sleeping/resting.
For a New Family to Know:
Lacy Ann is described as friendly, confident, playful (at times), mellow & quiet with a low activity level. When the owner is home she follows them around sometimes. She enjoys ball & mouse toys at times and is an indoor only cat that sleeps around the home. Lacy Ann eats wet & dry Friskies 1-3x a day. She is uncovered litter box trained with crystal or clumping litter within. Lacy Ann doesn’t have a scratching post since she and Diamond were front declawed when younger because they scratched the couches.
Intake Behavior:
Lacy Ann allowed all handling and was social. She allowed to be collared and taken pictures of. Lacy Ann didn’t seem to mind being picked up/held and was placed into a kennel with ease. Once another cat arrived Lacy Ann became agitated. She retreated to the back of the kennel, her body became tense and she began to hiss and growl.
