ENRICHMENT:

Really scared, cowering at back of kennel, huge eyes, motionless. Doesn’t appear to have eaten overnight. Allows petting all over but doesn’t react much, body is tense. Sweet, social cat, needs time to adjust. Sprayed Feliway, gave fresh wet food and some crunchy, lef some treats. Checked back on her, seems afraid to move. Allows me to pet all over, remains wide-eyed and unmoving. Really needs a chance to adjust. Added a Kuranda bed on one side of her double kennel, trying to create a hiding spot. Sprayed Feliway, gave some treats and a small plush catnip toy. Has potential.

Much better today. Still wide-eyed and hunched behind litter box at side of kennel, but allows me to approach and pet all over. With some prolonged gentle attention she begins to warm up, lifts up, tail erects and quivers (really quivers!), gives soft head butts. She’s still wary, can get startled by loud noises in the room and the hallway, but a really sweet, social, shy girl. This is a tough environment for her; she responds well to a slow, gentle approach. Seems like a completely bewildered housecat who can’t figure out why she’s here or what’s happened to her. Might do best in a serene, mature home without children. Absolutely adorable, slender with a teeny little cute face. Submitting new photo and a video.
