***SAFE 10/17/17*** PRETTY PRINCESS HAD SOME LITTERBOX ISSUES AND WAS NOT EATING SO OWNER TAKES HER TO THE KILL SHELTER INSTEAD OF A VET!! Princess is a senior girl and was starting to have litterbox issues but when she stopped eating, her owner should have taken her to the vet – but instead this poor senior girl was dumped at the shelter. She was not feeling well and should have a follow up vet check. Princess is friendly but shy and needs some TLC and love. Give this girl a home and the care she needs. RESERVE SENIOR GIRL PRINCESS BY NOON!!

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Subjective: BAR, friendly ENRICHMENT NOTES: 10/8/17 Resting in middle of cage, soft posture, a bit wide-eyed. Lay in place when door opened. Allowed and slightly leaned into pets, continued to look around. Seems a little wary, uncomfortable with surroundings. 10/9/17 Curled up at back, wide-eyed, seems anxious. Became alert when door opened, started looking around, very quiet meow-whining. Sniffed assess-a-hand, tolerated pets. Curled up tighter and started lip licking when startled by room noise. Softened slightly after a little while, but remained alert. Showed no interest in treats or wet food. Cage Condition: No change Reaction to assessor: Princess remains tense, crouched position at the back with head up. Reaction when softly spoken to: Princess remains alert with eyes wide open, ears erect and forward. Reaction to cage door opening: Princess remains in place, eyes wandering towards sudden noises. Reaction to touch: Princess slowly leans into the assessor’s hand and warms up, even more after a few strokes and began to stretch out comfortably while purring. However, she remains cautious with her surroundings and went back towards her original pose and stiffens up in place. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Curious Timid Independent BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: Experience Behavior Asilomar TM – Treatable-Manageable BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Princess tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter.
