***SAFE 10/18/16*** PECHO BEING DUMPED FOR “HOUSE SOILING,” BUT DIDN’T BOTHER TO TRY TO CORRECT THIS BEHAVIOR ISSUE! He’s just a year old and apparently soils the house, piles of cloths and had been seen by a vet for this when he was 4 months old. But the vet found NOTHING wrong. He’s NEUTERED, and if these owners really cared they should have brought him back. Because with another cat in the house, it may have been a behavior issue. Or maybe there was an issue with the type of litter or placement of boxes. But it was just easier to dump this YOUNG guy at the nearest HIGH KILL SHELTER! He’s rated EXPNOCHILD, but had been around children that would visit the home! But just for now this baby HIMSELF, needs all your love and attention! Offer to FOSTER OR ADOPT PECHO today and have a vet check him out…you may be surprised at what he says!

10/09/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
10/09/16 13:50 Basic Information: Pecho is a 13 month neutered male cat that is being surrendered due to house soiling. Pecho was brought to a vet he was 4 months old for the house soiling and the vet did not find any medical issues. Pecho lived with his family since he was 6 weeks old. Socialization: Pecho is very friendly and outgoing when strangers come to visit. He will apporach and stay outside and seek affection. He never lived with children but did spend time with a 2 year old and a 5 year old. He would play with the children and was very curious and would apporach when they made loud noises. He played gently with both children and adults. He lived with a 7 year old spayed female cat and they would play together and were relaxed/affectionate when around each other. Pecho has never been around dogs. Behavior: Pecho has been dislplaying litter box issues since the family owned him. He ususally urinates on piles of clean clothes, the couch and the bed at least once a month. The family uses natures miracle to clean the spots and yet he continues to use the same spots. They have two litter boxes that they clean twice a day with unscented clumping litter. They have tried both covered and uncovered litter boxes. Pecho also scratches the sides of the microfiber couch and the owner’s bike tower. There is a large carpeted cat tower in the home but he will not use it. Pecho will struggle to get away during a bath, but is calm during nail trims and brushing. He loves to be picked up and held and stays relaxed when placed into a carrier and on car rides. For a New Family to Know: Pecho has a medium energy level and he loves to look out of the window. He plays with small objects such as balls and toy mice and is an indoor only cat. He eats Moew Mix dry food with hairball control. Behavior during intake Pecho was slow blinking and very relaxed during intake. He allowed the counselor to hold him and place him on the backdrop for photos. He allowed us to collar him and place him into the cage

Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Pecho’s former owner stated he is very friendly and outgoing when strangers come to visit. He will apporach and stay outside and seek affection. He never lived with children but did spend time with a 2 year old and a 5 year old. He would play with the children and was very curious and would apporach when they made loud noises. He played gently with both children and adults. He lived with a 7 year old spayed female cat and they would play together and were relaxed/affectionate when around each other. Reaction to assessor: Pecho looks neutral, lying down by the front when approached by the assessor. Reaction to door opening: Pecho retreats to the back, tense body posture, alert with eyes wide open. Reaction to touch: Pecho seems hesitant with the touch then began to stress meow and hiss at the assessor’s hand while he attempts to move away from the stroke. Placement determination: Experience / no child Pecho tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. 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.
