LINWOOD – A1117259
Safe - 8-3-2017 Brooklyn
***SAFE 08/03/17***AT SHELTER ALMOST A MONTH…A volunteer writes: Linwood wants to be your friend and he will make sure you know it. He is one of the more loudmouthed meowers in the cat room – in the most charming of ways, of course. He’s only meowing because he’s so excited to hang out with people. He’s friendly, affectionate and loves to give love in the form of headbutts and nuzzles. As a younger guy, he also still has some kitten-ish energy and enjoys romping and chasing after toys.
LINWOOD is a friendly cat that was brought into the shelter due to pet health. He needs a little TLC. Linwood needs a loving home so he can get the care that he needs.

07/06/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Linwood was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Docile but timid EVALUATION: Cage Condition: No change Reaction to assessor: Linwood was crouched in the corner of the cage and started stress meowing when approached. Reaction when softly spoken to: Linwood looks around scanning her surroundings and continues stress meowing. Reaction to cage door opening: Linwood is alert. Reaction to touch: Linwood stress meows and slowly turns her head away when the assessor extends his hand out. He’s hesitant at first but slowly warms up with touch. His body slowly relaxes when pet; he perks up and nudges for attention but stays at the back where he feels comfortable. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid, Affectionate RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Linwood may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
