I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 30-Jan-2018.
Two is at risk due to being diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other cats. Two can go to an adult only home.

Your newly adopted animal is in treatment for an upper respiratory illness and is hereby temporarily waived from spay/neuter requirements of the City of NY until such time as the illness has resolved and the pet has sufficiently recovered.
Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 3. Yellow
KNOWN HISTORY:: Two was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 01/30/18 Tense, timid, tried to flee
ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 02/01/18 Lying in back of kennel with a flat, tense body, head hidden behind litterbox. Tolerates petting along head and body while remaining very still and flattening ears. Avoids eye contact. Needs more time to adjust.
Cage Condition:: Cage is recently cleaned
Reaction to assessor:: Two was tense and lying down completely flat in back of his litter box.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Two makes eye contact with the assessor and doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Two lip licks and remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:: Two tenses up, his eyes dart around the kennel looking for an exit and he slowly shifts away when approached. He leans back and hisses when touched, and tolerates slow gentle petting along his body.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Skittish,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Two has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may dislike certain types of handling. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Two tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He 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.
