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

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Eminem Meowthers needs at risk placement for medical reasons. He is a young sweet cat and recovering from a urinary obstruction. He needs monitoring and pain management in a veterinary clinic to recover. What my friends at ACC say about me: My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet! I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy! I am a cat that is in need of a lap! I can't wait to be your new lap cat. I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.

My medical notes are...

Details on my behavior are...

Behavior Condition: 2. Blue

KNOWN HISTORY:: Eminem Meowthers was brought in as a stray, there is no known information on his behavior history in a home environment.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Mellow

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Shy ,Calm,Timid

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Other,New home adjustment period

Potential challenges comments:: Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 2

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Eminem Meowthers was lying down curled up at the back of the kennel with a neutral body and wide eyes with his tail wrapped tight around his body upon approach. He ignores treats offered and it appears that he has not touched any of the food offered to him (wet food, dry food, puree treat, tuna). He allows petting on the head, cheeks, but does not engage with the attention and the assessor has to raise the cat's head up for him to make eye contact. During pick up, Eminem Meowthers remains calm but tenses up when lifted off the floor. After placing him back down, he slowly curls up again in the same spot. Eminem Meowthers interacts with the observer, tolerates petting and attention, and is easy to handle. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience and demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior who can accommodate his medical needs.
