11/28/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/28/16 22:38 BASIC INFO Captain Kitty is an 8 year old spayed DMH cat. Her family got her as a stray when she was 6 months old and have to surrender her due to a new baby. Kitty has a history of urinary crystals. She was fed Royal Canin Urinary SO dry and sometimes wet foods. She didn’t need any procedures and doesn’t have any symptoms. SOCIALIZATION Captain Kitty lived with an adult man and woman and a baby (now 7 months old). She hid from strange men. If they approached, she hissed and ran away. She ignored strange women and children. 6 and 7 year old children visited her and she was relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant with them. She sniffed around the baby in her home. She plays exuberantly with people. She lived with a large dog and was respectful of him. They didn’t interact much, but she cried a lot when he wasn’t around. Kitty hasn’t bit anyone. She has scratched (see below). BEHAVIOR Kitty was kept out of the bedroom since the baby was born and cries and scratches at the door at night. Kitty doesn’t mind when someone brushes her, puts her in a carrier, or wakes her up. She is nervous during nail trims and when picked up/held. To trim her nails, one person holds her and one trims her nails. Kitty lightly puts her mouth on people when she is pet too much (without breaking skin), especially if approached while on her perch. She has scratched people, drawing a little blood, that continued petting her (years ago). Her family feels it is easy to avoid being scratched if they respect her space when she first warns them. She pokes her owner with her paw to ask for food or other resources. She traveled across the country in the car; she’s tense in hard carriers and tries to escape from soft ones. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Kitty’s family describes her as friendly, affectionate, playful, independent, talkative, and medium energy. She likes to cuddle next to her family and get chin scratches. She also spends time near the radiator. She played with stuffed toys and string. She lived inside and slept on furniture. She’s littertrained, used an uncovered litterbox with World’s Best Cat Litter, and didn’t have accidents. She scratched the couch in addition to a horizontal carpeted scratching board. INTAKE Kitty was tense but tolerant and lied down and looked around while I pet her, scanned her (-), collared her, photographed her, and put her in a carrier. She didn’t resist, retreat, or vocalize.
