*** GONE 10/27/16 *** SHY LADY KAT LIVED AS A SOLO CAT!!..
A volunteer writes: This tortie seems a little shy when you first meet her, but she quickly comes out of her shell (no pun intended). Kat warmed up to me and proved herself to be very good at head butting and other essential cat skills. In her previous life, Kat lived with one adult and was said to be shy around strangers. I found her to be very friendly and affectionate…..KAT has an Experience rating because she is a bit of a fearful girl…Four years old and SPAYED, KAT just needs someone to give her room to relax and feel secure again!! IF THAT PURRSON IS YOU, APPLY TO FOSTER OR ADOPT KAT NOW!!

As per previous owner, Kat has lived with 1 adult and was described as shy and fearful around strangers. Her owner states that when visitors come over she will run and hide and can take several days to come out. She has never been around children, other cats or dogs. Kat has been defecating outside the litter box for the last year due to a medical issue. Owner stated she was taken to the vet and the problem resolved. She is described as mellow and quiet. Kat struggles when held or placed in a carrier and she likes to play with toys balls at home. Reaction to assessor: Kat was resting on her blanket near the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Kat makes eye contact, rolls over on her side, remains relaxed and doesn’t come forward. Reaction to cage door opening: Kat rises up and leans forward to greet the assessor. Reaction to touch: Kat keeps her tail curled at her side and leans forward to sniff the assessor’s hand. She seems unsure at first but relaxes when pet and rubbed on her cheeks. Her body rises up when pet along her back then she slowly approaches the front but looks around wary of her surroundings. She gives light head butts then moves back into her litter box with her tail lowered. Reaction to being picked up: Kat was a bit tense when picked up, looks around at her surroundings, lip licks then leaps away. Behavior Determination: Experience Kat may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
