TOTOYEE – A1106429
Safe - 4-2-2017 Manhattan Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
*** SAFE 04/02/17 *** A volunteer writes: Toyotee’s owner rescued him from a park when he was kitten, but her living situation changed and she can no longer care for him. We’re told that Toyotee is very friendly, smart and shy around strangers; he loves to play fetch and with stuffed toys and jungle bells, and chase his own shadow. Because he’s shy of strangers, the shelter world is particularly scary for him. He curls up in a ball in the back of his kennel hoping no one will notice him. But when a friendly face and hand gently seeks him out, the tension slowly fades and he focuses on how nice it is to receive cheek and nose rubs. If you lead a quiet life and would like to share it with a cat who needs a quiet home to be his friendly, playful self, Toyotee is waiting for you.

EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage recently cleaned Reaction to assessor: Totoyee was lying down with a low body posture, focusing on the assessor. Reaction when softly spoken to: Totoyee lowers his gaze and blinks softly. His ears are tilted slightly sideways. Reaction to cage door opening: Totoyee shifts his body and presses against the back wall, tense and alert. Reaction to touch: Totoyee was hesitant, but allows gentle petting with a slow approach. He appeared unsure and uncomfortable initially, but would turn to sniff the assessor’s hand a couple of times and slowly warms up. His body position relaxes a bit and he slowly leans in for cheek rubs. He appears to like gentle nose rubs and will push his head forward for those. He seems wary of his surroundings, but is sweet during the interaction. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Shy, Timid, Sweet
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Fearful – Totoyee has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may be hesitant of interactions with new people as reported by his previous owner. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus. RECOMMENDATIONS: – Experienced, adult home only – Totoyee tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
