***SAFE 05/03/17 *** A volunteer writes: Wire reminds me of a character in a Disney fairy tale — his soft gray fur is on the long side, like a fox, and he has wide, warm eyes like Bambi. But he’s a real cat, one who comes to the Care Center from a home, where he lived with one adult and was described as friendly and respectful. Here in the cat adoption room he’s been shy and guarded, but still very nice and easygoing. Our behavior team said that he’s open to petting but could be timid. If your kind of kitty is the sweet, silent type who enjoys being near his people but may not need a ton of petting time, then Wire might be your man.
**Some grooming and dental care is all this handsome kitty needs – along with a new home!

04/14/17 14:08 Basic Information: Wire is 4 years old Gray Domestic LH. He was gifted to her previous owner when she was a puppy and remained there for 6 years. She was surrendered to MACC because her previous owner had to move outside of the country. She has no known health problems or injuries. Socialization: He was friendly around strangers and often greeted them. He spent time and was respectful towards children 3 and 4 years old. He played somewhat rough with adults and children. He lived for 6 months with another stray cat that his previous owner took in. He was relaxed towards the stray but the stray was not tolerant of Wire. He has no bite history. Behavior: He cried/meow for attention. He scratched on furniture. He had litter box accidents and would hide in fear at times. He was relaxed during car rides. His litter box accidents would happen twice a month. He would defecate inside the litter box and not clean himself creating a mess outside the litter box. He struggle during baths, nail trims, and coat brushes. He was not bothered when being picked up/restrained or put in carrier. He was not bothered by being disturbed while sleeping. For a New Family to Know: He was described as a friendly, playful and inquisitive cat. His activity level was very high. The previous owner’s favorite thing about him was that he would purr and knead on the bed. His favorite activities were playing and hiding objects around the house. He tended to follow the previous owner around the house. He had balls, strings, stuffed toys, and cat dancers to play with but he mostly enjoy chasing bottle caps. He was kept mostly indoors. He would sleep in multiple locations including the bed, furniture, his owner’s bed and on the floor. He ate Friskies wet cat food. He was mostly house trained and the accidents that he caused where due to not cleaning himself before leaving the litter box. He had an uncovered litter box filled with clumping fresh scoop litter. He had a scratching post but prefer scratching on wood. Upon intake: Wire had a relaxed body and his weight rested on all legs. He tolerated all handling and allowed collaring.
