***SAFE 09/28/17*** MARVELOUS MILLY IS KID-FRIENDLY AND PLAYFUL. 7 year old Milly was dumped by her owner for litterbox issues but nothing is mentioned as to what owner did to remedy the problem Milly may not even be at fault here!! Milly was calm, gave head-butts, and was friendly in the shelter and she certainly deserves a new home and a trip to the vet to see if anything is wrong. MILLY NEEDS A HERO TONIGHT AND YOU MUST RESERVE HER BY NOON!!

She stands up and head-butts my shin, placing her paws on my shoulders. A bit focused on her environment. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Milly was lying down in the back of the cubby. Reaction when softly spoken to: Milly lifts her head up, slow blinks and leans forward to investigate. Reaction to cage door opening: Milly is calm.

After a few soft pets she perks up, leans against the assessor’s hand, head butts and allows petting all over.

ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Shy, Sweet, Affectionate POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Inappropriate elimination – Milly’s previous owners report that she was eliminating (urinating and defecating) outside the litter box for about 5 months. We are unaware of what, if any, modifications steps were taken to try and address this behavior in the home, so we cannot be sure what the trigger may have been or if this behavior may continue in a future home. However, 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. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Milly may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
