Animal Profile
Baby
Hello, my name is Baby. My animal id is #21169. I am a desexed male orange tabby cat at the . The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 2/20/2018.
Reserved
Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.
02/23/18 Baby was placed at risk because she is not thriving here at the shelter. Baby's ears rotate and he watches the assessor with wide dilated eyes as he extends his hand forward. He leans away slightly and flinches when touched on his head. The end of his tail thrashes around. He still seems a little unsure and turns his head slowly, following the assessor's hand when pet along his back. Baby is suitable for an adult only home.

Baby was nervous during intake but allowed counselor to transfer him from one carrier to another.
Date of Intake: 2/20/2018
Spay/Neuter status: Yes
Basic Information:: Baby came in as a stray so history is unknown. He is approximately a 2 year old, DSH male who was neutered prior to coming into the shelter.
KNOWN HISTORY:: Baby was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
Cage Condition:: Cage is slightly re-arranged
Reaction to assessor:: Baby was tense, alert and crouched near the front of the kennel.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Baby seems curious of his surroundings and leans forward to investigate.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Baby tenses up and moves towards the back of the kennel.
Reaction to touch:: Baby's ears rotate and he watches the assessor with wide dilated eyes as he extends his hand forward. He leans away slightly and flinches when touched on his head. The end of his tail thrashes around, but he slowly starts to relax and leans in for cheek rubs. He still seems a little unsure and turns his head slowly, following the assessor's hand when pet along his back.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Mellow
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Curious,Timid
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: None
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Baby 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.
