Calista ACCT-A-239850 is a 5-year-old spayed female cat who came in as an owner surrender on 12/23 due to her owner’s health. Previous owner noted: “She has medium energy, likes play time but is happy to just chill. An ideal home would have a moderate level of interaction and stimulation. It may take her a little time to adjust to a new home, but I would say she is adaptable and will fit in well in a variety of environments.”
Behavior:
On 12/31 staff noted: “Very vocal with her hissing! Calista turned her nose up at some churu, but has been moving around her new office, and not staying hunkered down in one area, so she might open up more. Calista will swat if you get too close, but both her and her sister are very talkative overall, so that might be a part of their communication.”
On 12/31 staff noted: “Increasing gaba to 30 mg/kg due to persistent FAS 5/5”
On 12/27 staff noted: “Definitely scared, reclusive to the back of litter box side, hissed when I opened kennel door and avoided eye contact. Dropped in treats and she ate right away, sniffed wand toy and was slightly interested but hissed when I brought it closer to her. Would definetly need some time but I think with patience can warm up in a home with treats, positive reinforcement and time.”
On 12/26 staff noted: “Would not let us give traz due to aggression.”
On 12/25 staff noted: “Authorizing trazodone, offensive aggression of low gutter, growling, wide direct eye contact people’s dilated swiping with bearing claws through the kennel, doors and charging at the front of the cage, hissing and swatting when approached.”
On 12/24 staff noted: “TTA due to hissing, swatting, spitting, screaming, lunging, dilated pupils. Scheduling 1ml Gabapentin 2x daily”
On 12/23 staff noted: “TTA unable to check in due to behavior. Unable to get into kennel. She is at front growling, hissing, swatting, airplane ears.”
