BELMONT – A1123422
Gone - 9-5-2017 Manhattan
***GONE 09/05/17*** SUPER SWEET BEGINNER BELMONT IS FELV+, FIV+ AND DIABETIC!!! STAFF FAVORITE! Belmont came into the Care Center with some wounds of unknown origin and is going to need a 6 month quarantine. He is so sweet and friendly you can’t help but love him! Please consider pulling Belmont!
12 year old Belmont has injuries to his hind legs – possible bite wounds – and a possible crush injury by left toes. His right hind leg is swollen. He needs further vet eval to determine cause of injuries. But Belmont is a affectionate docile kitty who allows all handling. Sadly he has tested positive for both FELV and FIV and may also be diabetic. ALL of these conditions are easily managed by medications. Don’t let that stop you from saving this head-butting, purring attention-seeking sweetheart! Belmont needs you. Why not give him a home today? MUST RESERVE HIM BY NOON!!

KNOWN HISTORY: Belmont was brought in as a stray, so there is no information on his behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Observed Behavior – docile, affectionate, easy going, allows all handling ENRICHMENT NOTES: 8/27/17 Sitting up at front, soft eyes and body.

Meowed when spoken to, started rubbing against the bars. Ate treats from my hand, voraciously hungry! Leaned and arched into pets, purred, devoured remaining treats. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Belmont was lying down by the front, resting his head against the cage door. Reaction when softly spoken to: Belmont quickly turns to face the assessor and looks with soft eyes. Reaction to cage door opening: Belmont remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Belmont quickly leans in for cheek rubs and begins to purr. When petting stops he pulls his head back and pushes it forward against to head-butt. Reaction to being picked up: Belmont remains calm and allows handling, despite having injuries. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Moderate VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Social, Sweet, Affectionate BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Beginner Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation.

He interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat can go to a beginner home.
