06/19/17 12:17 Basic Information: Munchkin is a 12 years old neutered large black and white domestic short hair. The previous owner had him since he was a kitten. He was surrendered to MACC because Munchkin is destructive when left alone in the house. He has no known injuries or health problems. Socialization: He was friendly around strangers. He has no known bite history. He was relaxed during car rides. He struggled during baths. He was not bothered by getting his nails trim, having his coat brush, being picked up and held. He struggled being placed inside the carrier. For a New Family to Know: He was described as a friendly but anxious cat. His activity level was high. He followed the previous owner around the house. He was kept indoors only. He slept in his own cat bed. He dry and wet cat food. He was litter box trained and had an uncovered litter box filled with clumping litter. He scratched on furniture when left alone in the house. He has not been the same since his previous owner passed. During intake: He had a relaxed body. He allowed collaring and petting.

06/25/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: I have to hand it to Munchkin: this is his second time in the cat adoption room (he was adopted from the Care Center years ago), and he’s still as friendly, gentle, and affectionate as ever. This quiet gentleman holds no grudges. During our meet and greet last night he happily came to the front of his cat condo and leaned into me for petting, showing off his big jelly belly (at 17 pounds, he’s not such a munchkin anymore!). His previous owner described him as friendly with strangers and litterbox trained, and our own staff found him to be docile and appreciative of pettings as well. Don’t be fooled by his age; this handsome, hearty, happy boy has years of love to give.
