Spay-Neuter Waiver Documentation
Vet Notes: 2:23 PM

[Spay/Neuter Waiver – Age]

It is the policy of ACC not to perform surgery on any animal over the age of 8-10 years due to the higher risks incurred in a shelter setting. The veterinarian is hereby issuing a permanent spay/neuter waiver, from the spay/neuter requirements of the City of NY due to the estimated age of this animal. ACC does recommend you consult with your veterinarian to determine if surgical sterilization is appropriate.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Kinsey tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.

 

 

A volunteer writes: This beautiful grand dame is looking for a quiet, adult-only family where she can slowly settle back into a happy cat life. She is watchful and takes a little time to warm up but I think she would be a devoted companion in a forever home.
