Frisky

Hello, my name is Frisky . My animal id is #160733. I am a desexed male tri color cat at the . The shelter thinks I am about 4 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a aco impound on 12/17/2022.

Reserved

Someone has already placed a deposit on me. I'm no longer available.

Frisky is on the EPL due to medical reasons. He has an old fracture of his left forelimb that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. He will need either an amputation or surgical repair of the fracture with placement. He also has a mild-moderate anemia. Behaviorally, Frisky is extremely affectionate and allows all medical handling.

Details on my behavior are...

Behavior Condition: 2. Blue

KNOWN HISTORY:: Frisky was brought in as a stray, there is no known information on his behavior history in a home environment. When ARS arrived at the location the client had the cat confined in the downstairs hallway. The cat was very approachable and friendly.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Lively

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Sweet,Affectionate,People oriented,Easy going,Graceful,Curious

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 1

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Frisky was standing in front of his kennel as the assessor approached, body and face relaxed and ears forward. Frisky stands on his hind legs when spoken to, then remains right in front of his kennel as the cage door opens. Frisky allows petting along his head and body while leaning in and raising his tail and he remains calm when lifted and placed back down. Frisky interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is suitable for any level of adopter experience.
