EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Rere was relaxed and purring on her blanket at the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Rere comes forward when called and gently rubs her cheeks against the kennel door. Reaction to cage door opening: Rere is calm and relaxed Reaction to touch: Rere is very affectionate and continues purring when rubbed along her body. Her body is relaxed, her tail quivers and she allows petting all over. Reaction to being picked up: Rere is calm, relaxed and allows all handling. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Lively VOCAL: Somewhat chatty CHARACTER TYPE: Affectionate, People Oriented, Sweet POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Inappropriate elimination – Rere’s previous owners report that she was eliminating (defecating) outside the litter box a few times a month for over a year. We are unaware of what, if any, modifications steps were taken to try and address this behavior in the home, so we cannot be sure what the trigger may have been or if this behavior may continue in a future home. However, we recommend that potential adopters be comfortable with management and modification techniques for elimination outside the litter box should this behavior continue in a home environment. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Rere interacts with the observer, appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. She may have some behavioral issues that will need to be addressed in the home. Due to her having frequent litter box accidents, we recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
