MULDER – A1091917
Gone - 10-6-2016 Manhattan
***GONE 10/06/16*** MULDER IS NOT FEELING WELL… BUT A COMPETENT VET, A HOME AND A NEW OWNER THAT LOVES IN CAN BE THE START OF HIS ROAD TO RECOVERY! AVERAGE RATING FOR THIS GUY IS AWESOME! As sick as he is, he still has a terrific behavior RATING! MULDER us 5 years old and likely has a URI. He also has a swollen jaw and head injury, likely something neurological. But a vet can better exam and get a good sense of what’s really going on with this guy. Give MULDER a chance… vetting is free if you FOSTER. You can ADOPT but need to assume the vetting and bills yourself. Either way, get this guy out of the ACC. It’s no place for a sick cat to be!

10/04/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Mulder was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. His finder reports they were able to pick him up and place him into a carrier. He also allowed all handling during his initial medical exam. Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior. Reaction to assessor: Mulder was resting upon approach. Reaction when softly spoken to: Mulder lifts his head up slightly, but doesn’t turn to look at the assessor. Reaction to cage door opening: Mulder remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Mulder remains in place and accepts petting all over his body. He closes his eyes and leans in slightly for cheek rubs. Reaction to being picked up: Mulder allows pick up and remains calm when held. Behavior Determination: Average Mulder interacts with the Assessor, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for new or experienced cat parents.
