Brooklyn Center

Hello, my name is Willy . My animal id is #17217. I am a female black cat at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years old. – P

I came into the shelter as a owner surrender on 29-Dec-2017, with the surrender reason stated as person circumstance- moving.

Willy is at risk due to being diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection which is contagious to other cats. Willy will likely require in home care with a course of antibiotics. Willy should go to an adult only home as he is fearful and more independent.

KNOWN HISTORY:: Willy was brought in without information on her behavior history or tendencies in a home environment.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: Timid, but allows all handling

Cage Condition:: Cage is recently cleaned

Reaction to assessor:: Willy was tense and lying down completely flat inside her litter box.

Reaction when softly spoken to:: Willy seems very uncomfortable and doesn’t react when the assessor tries coaxing her forward.

Reaction to cage door opening:: Willy remains tense and motionless.

Reaction to touch:: Willy quickly shifts away and retreats to the other side of the double kennel when approached. She curls up tight, her ears bend flat and she tolerates very brief interactions before shifting away.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Skittish,Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Willy 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 her 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:: Willy tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his/her 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.
