FARRO – 23703

Brooklyn Center

Farro 23703 – 2 yr. male black cat, stray:

KNOWN HISTORY:
Farro was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
03/26/18
vocalizing in feral den, pupils dilated OU, shy/timid but allows all handling with minimal restraint.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/27/18
Lying in litterbox, body low and pupils dilated. He leans forward as I open the kennel door and vocalizes softly. Steps forward as I hold my hand out, body and tail lowered, and greets me with a soft head-butt. He allows petting along his head and body while leaning in with his shoulders and raising his tail. He retreats back to his litterbox whenever someone passes by the room, body lowering to floor and tail wrapping around feet. Focuses back on interaction once hallway is quiet again. Timid and wary of surroundings, but appreciates attention once approached. Has potential to warm up.
Cage Condition:
Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:
Farro was curled up inside his litter box, with his tail wrapped around his body.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Farro lifts his head up to make eye contact and meows softly, but doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Farro pauses and keeps his eyes focused on the assessor.
Reaction to touch:
Farro leans forward to sniff the assessor’s hand and closes his eyes when rubbed on his cheeks. He slowly inches forward, rubbing against his hand arching his body when pet along his back. He appreciates attention, but still seems a little wary of his surroundings. His body tenses up and he retreats whenever someone walks by the kennel.
Reaction to being picked up:
Farro was very tense and struggled to be put down.
