BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 1
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Bebe Boop was sitting in her litter box with dilated eyes and upright ears. She approached the handler on shaky legs and eagerly ate the treats offered to her while accepting pets all along her head and back. She continued to allow all handling, remaining calm and tolerant during pick up. When placed down, her shaking continued but she returned to the front and leaned into pets curiously while she continued eating. Bebe Boop interacts with the assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is suitable for any level of adopter experience.
