*** SAFE 10/16/16*** KLUNK!! WHAT A NAME TO GIVE A 4 MONTH OLD KITTEN WHO WAS HIT BY A CAR!! Yes the ACC staff just showed how crass they can be by naming this poor kitten KLUNK after she was brought in with a pelvic fracture injury from being hit by a car. KLUNK is just a baby – and she is sweet and friendly and got an AVERAGE rating despite the fact she may be in some pain from her injury. KLUNK can pull herself around by her front legs but cannot stand on her hind ones. She will need a specialist and medical attention for her fracture which will most likely include cage rest for at least 6 weeks after treatment. But the ACC is planning to kill this baby tomorrow and wipe out any chance of her surviving. FOSTERING WILL SAVE HER LIFE AND GET HER THE REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF YOU LIVE LOCALLY OR NEAR A NEW HOPE RESCUE YOU CAN FOSTER. THE RESCUE WILL PAY VET COSTS AND YOU CAN GIVE ALL THE TLC AND LOVE SO THIS KITTEN CAN RECUPERATE. PLEASE EMAIL [email protected] NOW FOR RESCUE CONTACT INFO.

10/13/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Klunk was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. Reaction to assessor: Klunk was curled up on her blanket near the back of the kennel facing the assessor. Reaction when softly spoken to: Klunk lifts her head up makes eye contact then slowly moves to the front of the kennel. Reaction to cage door opening: Klunk is relaxed. Reaction to touch: Klunk is unsure and leaned away when the assessor extended his hand out but warmed up when pet. She leans in when rubbed on her cheek and seems to appreciate attention. Her body loosens up and she gives light head butts when pet on her head. Please note that this cat has a severe medical condition so we may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves. Behavior Determination: Average Klunk interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
