11/03/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
11/03/16 19:44 BASIC INFO Goldie is a 6 year old neutered DSH cat. His family got him 2 years ago as a stray and relinquished him because they lost their home. Goldie’s owner reports that he was diagnosed with gingivitis by a vet. SOCIALIZATION Goldie is friendly/outgoing with new people. He lived with an adult woman and 4 children ages 11 and older and has spent time with younger children and was relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant with them. He plays gently with people. He lived with a female cat that his family got as a kitten a few months after they got him. He was relaxed and affectionate with her and they played exuberantly. Goldie would approach her groom her and she would sometimes swat at him; he would swat back, but they didn’t scratch each other. Goldie hasn’t bit/scratched anyone. BEHAVIOR Goldie meows in the car. He loves being brushed. He doesn’t mind being picked up or put in a carrier. He tries to run away only a little bit during baths. FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW Goldie’s family describes him as friendly, affectionate, mellow, quiet, curious, and medium energy. He follows his family and sits in their laps. He plays with balls, string, and stuffed toys. He lived inside and slept with his owners. He ate dry and wet 9 Lives and Friskies foods and enjoyed Pounce treats. He scratched a horizontal cardboard scratching board, but when he didn’t have it, he scratched the couch and flip-flops. Goldie always urinates and defecates in his hooded litterbox with clumping litter. A few months after his family brought him home (around the time they got a second cat), he began spraying small amounts of urine on soft things around the house (e.g. curtains, bags, clothes, shoes-things left out on the floor) 2-3 times per week. Goldie had been neutered before his family found him, and the female cat was spayed shortly after they got her. INTAKE Goldie usually had a soft, relaxed body during intake but would become tense when a dog on the other side of the room barked. He was tolerant while I pet him, scanned him (-), collared him, photographed him, picked him up, and placed him in a carrier. He didn’t resist, retreat, or vocalize.

11/06/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Goldie’s previous owner reports he is friendly and outgoing with new people. He has lived with one adult and four children and was relaxed, affectionate, and tolerant of them, playing gently with people. He lived with a female cat and was relaxed and affectionate with her, playing exuberantly. Goldie would approach her and groom her. The female cat would sometimes swipe at him, which caused him to swipe back, but they never scratched each other. Goldie was described as friendly, affectionate, mellow, quiet, and curious with a medium energy level. He follows the family around at home and sits on their lap. Reaction to assessor: Goldie was lying down, calm and relaxed. Reaction when softly spoken to: Goldie approaches the front and rubs against the cage door. He randomly hisses, but appears to be irritated by his neighbors (he attempts to look out from his kennel and hisses to the side). However, he will return to solicit attention when the assessor continues to speak to him in a soft voice. Reaction to cage door opening: Goldie crouches over and hisses once. Reaction to touch: Goldie hisses and grumbles, but accepts petting with a really slow approach. He appears to be conflicted; he leans in for petting when coaxed, but tenses up randomly and swipes without nails for the assessor to stop. When the assessor keeps still, he rolls over and rubs against them, but will focus outside his kennel again and hiss. Behavior Determination: Experienced Goldie tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
