Behavior History
Behavior Assessment
KNOWN HISTORY:: Jelly was brought in as a stray, there is no known information on his behavior history in a home environment.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 11/22/25 FB06
Jelly was laying in a loaf making biscuits and purring at the front of the kennel. As I opened the door, he rubs his head on my hand soliciting attention. Jelly allows for all petting head to tail as he continues to purr, leaning into each pet, arching his back and a high vibrating tail. I ended the interaction leaving him with some squeeze up.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Moderate

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Social,Sweet,Affectionate,People oriented,Curious

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Overstimulation

Potential challenges comments:: Jelly is social and affectionate but appears to be easily overstimulated. As a result of this observed behavior we recommend adopters who are familiar with signs of behavioral arousal and agitation in cats, so that interactions can be ended before Jelly becomes overstimulated. We also recommend fishing pole-type toys for play as they allow for interaction and vigorous, stimulating exercise while keeping human hands at a distance.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 3

RECOMMENDATIONS:: Adult only home

Recommendations comments:: Adult only home due to overstimulation.

URGENT NEEDS PLACEMENT🚨

Meet Urkel!

He is currently being treated for a severe upper respiratory infection and internal parasites. His active treatment plan includes Strongid/Marquis scheduled for 11/26, Orbax scheduled for 11/20, and monthly Catego due again on 12/11.

Urkel has already received multiple treatments, including repeated SQ fluids from 11/16 through 11/19, Ponazuril and Panacur starting on 11/18, and Gentamicin and Orbax courses beginning 11/15. He previously completed FortiFlora, a full course of Gentamicin both IN and OU, and a separate seven-day course of Orbax. On intake, he received Capstar, Droncit, vaccines, SQ fluids, B12, and Pet Tinic. He also began monthly Catego at that time. His most recent panleukopenia test on 11/12 was negative.

Urkel is receiving ongoing care, but he urgently needs placement outside of the shelter so he can recover in the safest and most effective environment possible. A foster or rescue placement will give him the quiet, consistent support he needs to fully heal.

Foster/rescue placement only!

BEHAVIOR:
What my friends at ACC say about me:
* I lived with children in my previous home.
* I have lived with cats in my previous home.
* Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!

Upon approach Nala is in his den, poking his head out and lip licking as the assessor approaches. He is able to be slowly coaxed out of the den using treats and cat nip, coming slightly out of the den before pulling back a few times before deciding to come forward. He eats the crunchy treats offered to him and rubs his cheeks into the cat nip that is left on his blanket. He allows all petting, leaning into it and lifting his back up while he is pet. Nala is easy to pick up, remaining calm and leaning against the assessor when he is held. When placed back into his kennel he walks into his den but is still able to be coaxed back out easily with soft talking and treats.

Nala interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.
