** $45 in pledges for the rescue that pulls ** Katsaline ACCT-A-239930 is an approximately 2-year-old spayed female cat who came in as a stray on 12/24. Finder noted she was scared. Behavior: Per staff 1/11: "Unable to medicate this morning, growling, hissing, lunging and swatting." Per staff 1/10: "did a meet with Katsaline 1/09 with a behaviorally savvy adopter. She was napping as we approached and I held out a churu for her. Once she woke up to the smell she originally hissed, put a drop near her feet. She sniffed and licked the treat. She was not keen on interacting but did lick straight from the hand. Once she finished she hissed again and we gave her space." Per staff 1/6: "Unable to give meds due to behavior on 1/6" On 12/31 staff noted: "Increasing gabapentin from 14 mg/kg to 28 mg/kg due to persistent FAS 5/5." On 12/31 staff noted: "Katsaline is very combative in her kennel. Staff put a towel over the door, in hopes that it would help her feel more safe, but she will hiss when approached, and she won't hesitate to swat. Her ears are pulled back and her pupils are dilated. She was not interested in churu, and said so with her paws." On 12/27 staff noted: "Wide eyes, dialated pupils. High signs of stress, sniffed treats hissed when I tried to get close." On 12/24 staff noted: "TTA, cat had tense body, dilated pupils, growling, hissing, and swatting/lunging, starting on meds and will try again at a later date."
