Hello, my name is Senor Loco. My animal id is #20460. I am a desexed male black cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 11 years old. – P
I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 11-Feb-2018, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- cannot afford to care for.
ZIP Code From: 10035
Senor Loco is at risk due to medical and behavior conditions. He is a geriatric cat who is obese, has some matting and a possible mass on his leg. He should go to an adopter prepared to manage and investigate these medical conditions. he also should go to an experienced, adult only home that will allow him to acclimate at his own pace.
My medical notes are…

DVM Intake Exam Estimated age: Reported to be 11 years old; exam is consistent with an older cat Microchip noted on Intake? Scanned negative – MC placed during LVT exam History : Surrendered; no health hx available at this time Subjective: Hissing, yowling. Alert. Observed Behavior – Pt would not allow exam. He hissed and yowled, lunged, bit the handler’s leather gloves. We could not place a mask on him due to him trying to bite the mask or our hands, or evading the mask by turning around and running away. Pt calmed down once he was not being bothered. Pt was placed in the Freeman net and he urinated. A very brief exam was performed. I tried to remove pt’s hind legs from the net to examine a possible mass on the hind leg, or to look under his tail – he struggled, vocalized and sounded very stressed, and then he defecated, so the exam was aborted. Evidence of Cruelty seen – None Evidence of Trauma seen – None Objective BAR-H, MMs pink, BCS 9/9 EENT: Eyes clear, no nasal or ocular discharge noted. Unable to look in ears. Oral Exam: Unable to perform. PLN: Not examined H/L: NSR, NMA Lungs clear, eupnic ABD: Unable to palpate U/G: Reported male neutered; unable to confirm MSI: Ambulatory x 4. Many mats on dorsum. Mass appeared to be hanging from pt’s right hock – I could not locate this with pt in the Freeman net. CNS: Mentation appropriate – no signs of neurologic abnormalities Rectal: Unable to examine Assessment: 1. Obese 2. Possible mass on right hock 3. Geriatric 4. Matted Prognosis: Fair Plan: 1. Recommend more thorough exam once pt is acclimated to the shelter 2. Recommend grooming 1088
Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 4. Orange
KNOWN HISTORY:: The cat was brought in as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 2/12/18 Subjective: Hissing, yowling. Alert.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 2/12/18 Matted, severely overweight. Resting towards back, tense, eyes fully dilated. Started grumbling on approach, growled louder when door opened. Hissed and leaned away from attempted touch, belatedly tried to swat. Covered cage and left alone for now. 2/13/18 Lying down on his cage bedding, alert with eyes wide open. He allows the petting on the head while slowly head bunting the hand. He then allows a brief stroke on the body, but tail flicks and becomes agitated, growling in place. 2/14/18 Remains resting with head up, soft body posture. He enjoys head rubs and purrs. However, when pet along the back he low growls in place and tail flicks.
Cage Condition:: No change
Reaction to assessor:: The cat remains neutral, lying down on his cage bedding during the approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: The cat remains soft and relaxed in place.
Reaction to cage door opening:: The cat becomes alert with eyes wide open, ears erect and forward.
Reaction to touch:: The cat head rubs the assessor’s hand and purrs, but becomes agitated when touched along the body. He began to low growl, tail flick, and hiss while leaning away to stop the interaction.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Calm,Curious,Independent
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: The cat may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
