Very sweet and calm. Walks toward examiner, likes being handled. Purring.

Our enrichment facilitator has interacted with Bob and at the time he was licking his lips. Hesitant at first. Very sweet. Allows petting all over. Becomes more relaxed. Gets up and rubs against hand. Purrs lightly.
Reaction to assessor: Rusty comes to front and looks at you calm and relaxed
When spoken quietly: Rusty comes to front and looks at you calm and relaxed
Reaction to door cage opening: Rusty remains soft and relaxed
Reaction to touch: Rusty allows petting and attention
Try picking cat up: Rusty is tolerant of this type of handling.
Behavior Determination: Beginner
Rusty was brought to the care center as a stray so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies previous to what we are seeing during the evaluation. At the time of the assessment she was displaying friendly behavior, comes to the front of the kennel, interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. Rusty is displaying behavior appropriate for a beginner cat owner.
