MIA – A0960363
Safe - 7-2-2016 Manhattan Rescue: Staten Island Hope Please honor your pledges: http://www.statenislandhoperescue.org/
**SAFE 07/02/16** MIA has been at the ACC once before, and that time around, she was relatively lucky. She was lucky in that she was adopted out of the ACC, but was unlucky in that her adoptive home was not a forever home. Mia was brought back to the ACC by her previous owner because she allegedly was rude to another cat in the home. This beauty is spayed, she’s 8 years old, and she earned loving volunteer comments: “A volunteer writes: It’s easy to overlook our Molly. As she lounges at the back of her kennel, you might mistake her for a wallflower. But if you will just pause a while and give her a pet, you will discover that she craves and loves the attention. She warmly receives your gentle strokes as she gazes at you with eyes that seem wise behind their years.” Please make her second time at the shelter, the last time she’s at the shelter, by finding a LOVING FOREVER HOME FOR MIA, TONIGHT!

06/24/16 20:51 Basic information: Mia is an 8 year old spayed female. She was adopted from ACC 2 years ago. She was surrendered due to pet conflict. She has no known injuries or health problems and the last time she was seen by a vet was 2 years ago. Socialization: Around strangers Mia is shy for a few minutes and when she played with adults she was exuberant and somewhat rough. She’s spent time with children and with them she was aggressive, she would nip if she was pet. She spent time with another cat and with him she was also aggressive, she would charge, hiss and scratch. Behavior: Mia has never bitten a person, and the last time she bit and drew blood was 1 year ago. She has never bitten another animal. In car ride Mia meows/ cries. Once every few months Mia does have litter box accidents where she poops outside of her litter box if it’s not clean. She struggles if her coat is brushed. She is tolerant at times if she is picked up or held. She struggles if she is placed in a carrier and she isn’t bothered if she is disturbed while sleeping. For a New Family to Know: Mia is described as friendly, affectionate, confident, independent and talkative with a medium activity level. The two things her previous owner liked most about her were she’s playful and observant. When her previous owner was home she would tend to follow her around the home.

06/26/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mia’s previous owner reports she is shy for a few minutes around strangers. When she plays with adults, she can be exuberant and somewhat rough. She has spent time with children and can be aggressive; nipping when they tried to pet her. She has also spent time with another cat and was also aggressive; charging, hissing, and attempting to scratch. She has litter box accidents once every few months, and defecates when the litter box is not clean. She tolerates being picked up and held sometimes and was described as friendly, affectionate, confident, independent, and talkative with a medium activity level. The two things her previous owner liked most about her were she’s playful and observant. Reaction to assessor: Mia was by the front, rubbing her cheeks against the cage door and solicits attention. Reaction when softly spoken to: Mia meows and continues to rub. Reaction to cage door opening: Mia remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Mia head-butts, leans in for petting, and begins to purr. However, she may become overstimulated during the interaction. She randomly tenses up and hisses, but would lean in for more petting again. She allows consistent petting when rubbed gently. Reaction to being picked up: She becomes tense and struggles to be put back down. Behavior Determination: Experienced, No Children Mia initially solicits petting and attention, but after a few passes over the body she begins to hiss at the assessor. This may be a sign of petting-induced aggression, where repeated physical contact results in discomfort for the cat, or it may be a sign of overstimulation. As a result of this observed behavior we recommend adopters who are familiar with signs of behavioral arousal and agitation in cats, so that interactions can be ended before Mia becomes reactive. Treats should be used to reward appropriate responses to physical attention. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced cat parents and without children.
