SAFE 10/30/16 GOING ON 3 WEEKS AT THE SHELTER – OREO NEEDS OUT NOW!! A volunteer writes: Oreo tends to hide from strangers, her former owner told us. But this plump panda warms up very quickly. When I met her last night, she came out from under her kennel blanket within minutes, chirping a hello, sniffing me out, and letting me treat her to soft pettings. I can understand her hesitation, of course; Oreo misses the home she’s had since her kitten years. There, she was very well behaved, fine with kids, and especially good with boundaries, her previous family explained, never jumping up on counters and escaping out open doors. During her Care Center behavior exam, she showed off her friendly personality, getting high marks, and even purring and head-butting. Give lovely Oreo a reason to come out of her shell and feel secure again by adopting her today.

09/29/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
09/29/16 17:01 BASICS: Oreo is a spayed,black and white domestic medium hair cat. She is approximately four years old and had been in the care of her owner since she was a small kitten. The family had found her as a stray with her mother and a litter of kittens. They had decided to take her in. SOCIALIZATION: When first meeting strangers Oreo has a tendency to hide in fear. She needs a little bit of time to get used to the new person at which point she will allow petting if the person approaches her. She is not likely to approach strangers. Oreo had spent time around a children from as young as nine months to one year olds and twelve year olds. She does not approach them but the owner stated that she will allow them to handle her. She had been an indoor cat and thusly had not spent time around other cats or dogs so her behavior around them remains unknown. BEHAVIOR: She uses her litter-box and never has accidents in the home. She had never tried to escape, even when the door of the home had been opened. Instead she would sit by the door and look out but would not move any further. When she was a kitten she had been incredibly timid and not want to interact with the family all that much. However the owner noted that with time she had opened up more. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW: The owner mentioned that her overall demeanor after her spay surgery had been calm and relaxed. She is not incredibly active. She spends most of her days eating, sleeping, some running around and scratching her nails on a cardboard surface her owners had provided her with. They mentioned that she is really great with boundaries and does not jump onto countertops, or beds. If there is a plate of food around she will not try to get to it. Lastly his diet had consisted of dry food only and the litterbox had been covered. BEHAVIOR DURING INTAKE: When her carrier was opened, she stuck her head out and looked around. She allowed the counselor to pick her up and place her on the counter top. Once on the counter top her eyes darted around the room as if she was looking for a place to escape to. She did not sit still for her photograph and had to be held gently in place in order to get a picture. She was then picked up and placed in a new carrier, at which point she stayed in the back of the carrier.
