WHISKEY – A1114528
Safe - 7-23-2017 Manhattan Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
*** SAFE 07/23/17 Whiskey is one gorgeous six month old kitten! While she’s been very friendly with her care takers at the shelter, she’s let us know that she really likes the cage she is in and does not want to move to our adoption ward. I’m sure someone out there can appreciate a confident woman who knows what she wants!
Poor Whiskey was brought in after she was chased and kicked by a man. Please show her that not all humans are bad by giving 6 month old Whiskey a tranquil, loving home!
Manhattan Center
*RETURNED FROM FOSTER CARE*
My name is WHISKEY. My Animal ID # is A1114528. – P
I am a spayed female brn tabby and white domestic sh mix. The shelter thinks I am about 7 MONTHS old.

07/18/2017 AT RISK MEMO
Whiskey A1114528 is at risk due to behavior. Whiskey approaches the front and is calm and relaxed, but she appears to get agitated quickly and will whine, hiss, and swipe during an interaction. Although she swipes without using nails, she does not relax with attention and will display distance-increasing behaviors if the interaction continues. We do not know if this behavior will continue in a stable a home environment, however the behavior team believes she is displaying these behaviors due to being in a stressful shelter environment.

07/18/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
**UPDATE 07/18/17** Whiskey was brought back to the shelter after spending time in her foster parent’s home. There were no reports of behavioral problems during her stay with her foster. Although she remains calm and relaxed when approached for interaction in the shelter, she appears to get agitated quickly; after a few strokes she will whine and use her paw (without nails) to push the assessor’s hand away. She will nip if petting is attempted again and starts to display distance-increasing behaviors. We are unsure if this behavior will translate to a home environment, however the behavior team believes being in a stressful shelter environment may be influencing her behaviors. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home. Date: 06/10/17 ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lively VOCAL: Somewhat chatty CHARACTER TYPE: Social, Sweet, Affectionate ENRICHMENT NOTES: 6/8/17 Crouched under kuranda bed, behind bedding, eyes dilated. Meowed when door opened, then started grumbling and growling. Took a step back when offered treats, then hissed and patted assess-a-hand without claws. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Whiskey immediately comes soliciting at the front of the cage. Reaction to door opening: Whiskey remains standing at the front of the cage, relaxed body posture, soliciting attention. Reaction to touch: Whiskey head-butts the assessor’s hand, purrs, and appreciates petting on the head and body. Reaction to being picked up: Allows the pickup and remains clam. BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Average Whiskey interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
