SAFE 3/23/18 King Chutney has an Oronasal fistula and is looking for love @MACC. An oronasal fistula is a communication between the oral cavity and the anterior respiratory tract. Oronasal fistulas occur most commonly in the area of the upper canines, and with less frequency in the incisor region. Food and oral fluids perculate into the respiratory tract. The result is respiratory tract inflammation and infection.

CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Blackbird has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experience
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:
None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Blackbird tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter.

He may have some behavioral issues that will need to be addressed in the home.
We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
