TIGER – A1088506
Safe - 9-11-2016 Brooklyn
***SAFE 09/11/16***Sweet Tiger is a 14 year old orange tabby surrendered to the ACC because his owner is in the hospital. He’s a boy who lived in the same home and was probably very happy there. Now he’s in a very stressful environment at the shelter which must be scary. He’s a little over weight but that means he’s definitely an eater! During his intake, he was a little tense but allowed all handling giving him the okay to be placed in a beginner home. Let him find a home to live out his golden years by applying to adopt or foster this sweetie tonight!

09/07/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – BEGINNER
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Tiger was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Reaction to assessor: Tiger was calm, relaxed and lying down at the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Tiger comes forward starts to purr and rubs up against the kennel bars. Reaction to cage door opening: Tiger is calm and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Tiger rubs against the assessor’s hand and allows petting all over his body. His tail starts to shake, continues to purr and lightly head butts the assessor. Reaction to being picked up: Tiger was a bit tense when held due to his girth but remains calm and allows all handling. Behavior Determination: Beginner Tiger interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. No known history of behavioral problems. This cat can go to a beginner home.
