Animal Profile


Dominos

Hello, my name is Dominos. My animal id is #209176. I am a male tabby cat at the . The shelter thinks I am about 10 years 2 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a agency on 9/1/2024.

Reserved

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

Dominos is an overweight senior cat who has developed an upper respiratory infection and is now not eating. We are concerned about his potential to develop fatty liver disease with all that is going on with him. He does not tolerate handling well and would do better in a more quiet setting with individualized care.

Let's get to know each other a bit more...

Details on my behavior are...

Behavior Condition: 5. Red

KNOWN HISTORY:: Dominos was brought in with limited information on his behavior history in a home environment.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 9.8.24 Vol. Dominos was in the back of the left side of the kennel. He got wide-eyed and hissed when I opened the door. I put a few treats down in the middle of the kennel, and he hissed when my hand was in, but he didn’t react otherwise. I offered him squeeze-up on the scratcher tool. He hissed at first, then sniffed the squeeze-up but didn’t eat it. He was low growling; so, I closed the kennel door most of the way and slow talked to him. While I was talking to him, he stopped staring at me, turning instead to look into the other side of the kennel, but he never stopped low growling; so, I ended the interaction after a couple of minutes. 9/13/24 Vol. On his low bed, head turned watching, eyes open, ears slightly sideways. Ignored squeeze treat bowl. Approached with hard treat on tool - he did not move or react. Dropped treat and approached with tool - Dominos started to pull back. Removed tool and waited few minutes before trying again Dominoes turned head away, crossing his paws and flinched and ducked tool, eyes still wide and round. Ended interaction.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back,Mellow

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Bold,Curious,Timid,Skittish,Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,New home adjustment period,Adult cat socialization

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : New Hope Only

RECOMMENDATIONS:: Adult only home

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Dominos was resting on his kuranda bed upon approach. Alert with dilated pupils. Ears erect and forward. He hisses and slowly leans away from the scratcher tool when attempting to make contact. Avoids contact throughout the assessment and swats. Interested in offered treats but remains wary with his surroundings. Dominos continues to be distant while low growling in place. Dominos is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He is extremely fearful/stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
