4/25/ 04/25/17

05/02/17

Fluffy has improved greatly! He engages and stands tall with tail up soliciting attention. Leans into petting and enjoys the attention.

05/04/17

Inside cubby and perks up after smelling chicken treat. Gave him a treat and closed the porthole while I hid some chicken around his kennel space for him to find. He immediately came out of his cubby when I opened the porthole and he started sniffing around for his treats. Didn’t take long for him to find one next to one of his food trays. He found one underneath his bedding and another one behind his food tray. Expert treat sniffer!17

Basic information:

Fluffy is a 2 yr. old male domestic short hair mix. The owner surrendered Fluffy because of allergies. Fluffy has no health problems and the owner has not taken him to a vet.

Socialization:

The owner states that around strangers Fluffy is friendly and outgoing. Fluffy has never been around children. Fluffy has lived with another cat A1109361 Peppy and the two got along well with each other. Fluffy has never bitten or scratched anyone.

Behavior:

Fluffy has never been bathed, had his nails trimmed. He does not mind having his coat or being picked up and being placed in a cat carrier.

For a new family to know:

The owner describes Fluffy friendly and playful cat with a medium activity level. Fluffy has played with rubber ball and string cat toys; he lives mostly indoors and sleeps anywhere in the house that he wants. In the home Fluffy will follow the owner around and prefers to stay in same room as the owner. Fluffy eats name brand dry cat food and is open feed. He is litter box trained and uses an uncovered litter box with clumping litter. Fluffy has never been given a scratching post so the owner does not know if he will use it or not.

Behavior during intake:

During intake Fluffy was relaxed with soft body, he allowed us to scan (-) put on collar, photographed and placed in cat kennel.

A volunteer writes: Don’t let that grumpy expression fool you, Fluffy’s personality is all smiles! New to the shelter, this quiet boy prefers to hang back and work on his grooming rather than solicit attention from passerby. After some gentle words Fluffy emerged from the back of his cage to say hello – and he is so small and cute as a button. Fluffy is seeking a new home where he can relax and let his sweet personality shine.
