SAFE 3/30/18 WATCH HIS VIDEO! Sweet Tabby Boy Zuri is still waiting for someone to choose him @MACC. A volunteer writes: “Zuri is the sweetest cat,” another volunteer told me as soon as I came into the cat adoption room. “Whenever I pick him up, he tucks himself into my arms and starts kneading.” Sure enough, this slender brown tiger truly earns his status as a volunteer favorite. When I met him he was sitting at the front of his cat condo, letting me interact with him and pet him all over. Zuni came into the Care Center all by his lonesome, and though we don’t know what he’s been doing during his 3 years, he appears to have been a well-loved house cat, as he’s super comfortable with humans. Our behavior staff also was impressed with his laid-back personality and quiet, curious nature. Zuri has been with us since the beginning of the month, and he’s been waiting patiently for his forever family to bring him home. Don’t make him wait any longer, adopt Zuri today!

ZURI is a handsome tabby that was brought into the shelter as a stray. He is very stressed out there and needs a nice quiet place where he can decompress.

KNOWN HISTORY:
Zuri was brought in as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
3/7/18
Resting under kuranda bed, eyes dilated, looking around, wary. Whined quietly when door opened. Sniffed hand, then leaned hard into pets, purred loudly. Ate treats after door closed. Very sweet, just needs time to acclimate.

3/8/18
Sitting up under kuranda bed, alert, eyes wide and dilated. Shifted back when door opened, whined. Warmed up immensely once touched, leaned hard into pets, purred loudly, drooled. Eyes became markedly less dilated. Still seemed wary of room noise, lots of looking around. Took a while to lay down and eat treats after door closed.

3/11/18
Curled up asleep in litter box, woke when door opened. Lay in place, soft posture, eyes a little dilated but soft gaze. Immediately started head-butting, leaning into pets, purring. Ate offered treats after door closed.
Cage Condition:
No change
Reaction to assessor:
Zuri remains neutral, crouched position with head up in her cage cubby during the approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Zuri becomes alert with eyes wide open.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Zuri began to stress meow with pupils dilated, ears erect and forward.
Reaction to touch:
Zuri lip licks in place while she remains stiff and accepts the touch, but low growls during the interaction. After a few strokes, she then loosens up and head rubs the assessor’s hand. However, she remains cautious with her surroundings looking around.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy

Curious

Independent
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experience
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Zuri may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
