** Jackie’s previous owners report that she was eliminating (urinating and defecating) outside the litter box for some time. Jackie was seen by a veterinarian and has no known medical issues. We are not sure if the previous owners added litter boxes, changed the litter, uncovered the boxes, used Feliway, removed or blocked targeted areas, or consulted a behaviorist, etc. , but the inappropriate elimination behavior has continued. We advise potential adopters to be aware that this behavior may continue in a home environment, and that they be comfortable with management and modification techniques for this behavioral challenge.

FROM PREVIOUS STAY:
A volunteer wrote: My name is Jackie, and I’m an 11 month old girl. There are two things about me that you probably will notice right off the bat—I’m super-cute, and I’m a super-purr-machine. The second my human friends come to visit, I’m purring like there’s no tomorrow! I love spending time with human friends, and when they give me head rubs I start wiggle around in pure happiness. Please consider helping me and my pal, Benzo (A890124) find a new, forever home. We came into the shelter when we were abandonded, and we’ve been waiting since 3/2
