TAMA – A1097428
Safe - 12-1-2016 Brooklyn
***SAFE 12/01/16*** TAMA NEEDS VET FOLLOW UP FOR HIS CHRONIC DIARRHEA, LAMENESS ON LEFT HIND LEG – A volunteer writes: If you’re wondering what to do with all that leftover Thanksgiving turkey, the solution is at hand. This little guy loves to eat (as long as it’s something moist and tender, like that bird you cooked so expertly), and he could sure use some fattening up, because he’s a little on the skinny side, even though he hails from swanky Forest Hills. Tama’s a shy boy who was reluctant to approach the front of his cage when I came around to visit, but he appreciated chin rubs and even arched his back to receive some rump scratches and tail tickles. He seems like he might do well in a quiet household with an experienced caretaker who will treat him with kindness and patience.

11/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Tama was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Reaction to assessor: Tama was lying down, curled up in his litter box at the back of the kennel. Reaction when softly spoken to: Tama turns his head towards the assessor, slow blinks and doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Tama remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Tama keeps his body low and seems hesitant when the assessor extends his hand out. He sniffs the assessor’s hand and brushes up allowing petting all over with a slow approach. His body feels a bit tense but his body slowly rises up and he seems to start to appreciate attention. After a couple of soft pets he gives a gentle head butt and looks around at his surroundings. Reaction to being picked up: Tama was a bit tense when picked up, looks around wary of his surroundings then leaps back and retreats to the back of the kennel. Behavior Determination: Experience Tama may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
