OMAKASE – A1093504
Safe - 10-23-2016 Brooklyn
***SAFE 10/23/16*** POLYDACTYL OMAKASE NEEDS TO SEE AN ORTHOPEDIST ASAP! – BOTH HIND LEGS HAVE FRACTURES AND THE LEFT ONE NEEDS SURGICAL REPAIR OR AMPUTATION! BUT let the orthopedist evaluate him FIRST…the ACC has a very bad track record when it comes to vetting, or should we say, NOT VETTING, their intakes! He’s just 8 months old so with a orthopedist help his recovery should be just fine! But this BEGINNER RATED baby needs a FOSTER OR ADOPTER to take him, vet him and let him recovery in your care! FOSTER’S can have vetting free of charge, you can ADOPT as well, however, you will need to assume the responsibility of getting him to an orthopedist and getting him well! Either way, OMAKASE NEEDS YOU!

10/18/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – BEGINNER
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Omakase was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Reaction to assessor: Omakase slowly makes her way to the front of the kennel then gently rubs up for attention. Reaction when softly spoken to: Omakase gently head butts the kennel door then falls over and reaches out for attention. Reaction to cage door opening: Omakase is calm and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Omakase is very sweet, rubs up for attention and purrs softly when pet all over his body. He gives soft head butts, rolls around when rubbed on his cheeks and appreciates attention. Reaction to being picked up: Omakase is calm, relaxed and has a soft body when held. He continues to purr and makes biscuits on the assessor’s arm. Behavior Determination: Beginner Omakase interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat can go to a beginner home.
