KNOWN HISTORY:
Patches was brought in as a stray, so there is no information on her behavior in her previous home. She allowed her finder to pick her up, place her into a carrier, and bring her to the care center. She was nervous initially during intake, but relaxed a bit after some time in her kennel. She allowed staff to handle her and did not display any signs of aggression.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Calm
ENRICHMENT NOTEES:
Dozing in top cubby on approach. Woke and lifted head when door opened, soft eyes and body. Leaned into pets, put head back down, dozed off.

Reaction when softly spoken to: Patches rubs against cage furnishings and meows softly, purring.
