02/15/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
02/15/16 14:02 BASIC INFORMATION Princessa is a 2 1/2 year old Domestic Shorthair Mix. She was given to her prior owner as a gift when she was just 2 months old. Her prior family unfortunately has had the tough decision of surrendering her because their 3 year old son has developed severe allergies to the pet dander in the home. They believe she deserves a home in which no perimeters have to be set. SOCIALIZATION Princessa lived in a home with 2 adults (male and female), a 16 yr old girl, a 3yr old boy, and 2 female red ear sliders. Although she has never really interacted with their turtles, Princessa is said to be tolerant of the family who owns her. She gets along the best with their teenage daughter. She is the only one in the family that can successfully pick her up and pet her. The adults in the familly don’t really interact much besides feeding her. With the 3yr old son Princessa is a bit aloof. When he goes to touch the cat, she hisses, her tail gets puffed, and her head is low to the ground. The little boy is however really loud and they believe that is why she does not take well to him interacting with her. When strangers come to the home, she often hides at first but after a while of getting used to their scent, she’ll roam freely without greeting the vistors. Princessa has never been around any other cats or dogs so her behavior around them is unknown. BEHAVIOR Princessa used to get her nails trimmed by a professional groomer. She struggles when being picked up anyway but when he grabs her paw she often growls and attempts to swat with her other paw. She has broken skin in the past but only with the groomer because he does things that she isn’t fond of. Princessa has never received a bath so her behavior remains unknown at this time. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Princessa is a cat with a low activity level. She sleeps all day and does her roaming at night. Princessa eats wet and dry food mixed of any brand. Princess does not play with toys at all and she isn’t fond of cuddling. Princessa is somewhat litterbox trained. Her prior box was uncovered in filled with crystal litter. She would urinate in the box but defecate right next to it. INTAKE BEHAVIOR Upon intake Princessa was a bit shy. Her pupils were dialated and she was very alert. Princessa had to be collared by her owner because she growled at an admissions counselor. Princessa scanned negative for a microchip.

02/20/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
As per previous owner, Princessa lived in a home with two adults, a 16 yr old, and 3yr old. Princessa is said to be tolerant of her previous family. She gets along the best with the teenage daughter. She is the only one in the family that can successfully pick Princessa up and pet her. The adults in the familly don’t really interact much besides feeding her. With the child Princessa is a bit aloof. When he goes to touch the cat, she hisses, her tail gets puffed, and her head is low to the ground. The little boy is however really loud and they believe that is why she does not take well to him interacting with her. When strangers come to the home, she often hides at first but after a while of getting used to their scent, she’ll roam freely without greeting the vistors. Reaction to assessor: Princessa comes to the front of the cage seeking attention When spoken quietly: Princessa stays at front and continues soliciting attention Reaction to door cage opening: Princessa tries to leave the cage Reaction to touch: Princessa allows limited petting before starting to becoming irritated. She will hiss and growl. Try picking cat up: Princessa is not tolerant of this type of handling. Please be advised that Princessa seems to be in heat at the time of assessment, and the behavior presented at the time of evaluation may differ when the heat cycle is complete due to a change in hormonal balance Princessa’s previous owner reports that she was urinating in the litterbox but defecating outside the litterbox. We are unaware of what, if any, modification steps were taken to try and address this behavior. Please note as well that Princessa’s previous living situation may have contributed to the behavior seen. We cannot be sure whether this behavior will continue in a different home environment, but we recommend that potential adopters be comfortable with management and modification techniques for elimination outside the litterbox should this behavior continue in a home environment. We also recommend that Princessa be provided with numerous litterboxes throughout the house as she adjusts to her new living space. The extra boxes can be removed as she learns the space and successfully defecates in her main litterbox. Behavior Determination: Experience No Child At the time of the assessment Princessa was displaying conflicted behavior, comes to the front of the kennel, seeks attention but starts to hiss and growl when touched for a limited time.
