ENRICHMENT NOTES:
02/28/17
Cloe and Negri are the most outgoing, Tressi is the most nervous, sticking to litter box for now. Akira is somewhere between Cloe/Negri and Tressi. All allow handling and petting, Tressi the most uncomfortable with it. Akira and Negri are sharing a triple kennel, Cloe and Tressi are housed individually (tried them together but there was some tension; can revisit housing together after they’ve had a chance to acclimate to this stressful environment; Tressi was the one that was uncomfortable, hissing at Cloe).
