07/09/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
07/09/17 11:35 Smokey was described to the counselor as being shy and reserved. She did not approach the foster parent when she got home nor did she hang out in the room when they were home together. Smokey often stayed behind furniture, but would allow for others to pet her when she was out. She was noted as only hissing once but otherwise gentle. She eats both wet and dry food and is described as having a very healthy appetite. She has good litter habits, using an open litter box with clumping litter. She has not interacted with any other animals in the home. Smokey was very easy to handle when the counselor collared her. She did not hiss, scratch or try to run away. She sat very still and was quiet.
