The staff at the OHS call me a Poet! Did you know that Poets thrive in calm, stable environments? When things are a little too new and different, these kitties have a hard time showing their true personalities. Because Poets find change so hard, they usually like lots of safe places to hide and high perches to rest on. While each Poet is a little different, things that usually bring them out of their shell include playing with their favourite toys, eating some of their favourite treats, and seeking attention from their favourite people. During periods of change, Poets need a safe refuge where they be surrounded by these favourite things.

Poets can have different preferences, and it might take a little while to figure them out. Some Poets prefer play interactions where they can stalk and hunt in a fun game with you, while others may enjoy curling in your lap for a cozy snooze. While you may not see a lot of them at first, they'll be thinking of you... and after they settle in, you'll think they've always belonged!

It is possible I am “over-grooming” my abdomen due to stress. At this time a medical cause for the over-grooming is not apparent. If the thin fur persists in my new home your regular veterinarian may recommend medication or diagnostic tests.

I had a thin, short, or patchy coat while I was at the shelter. This could be from a variety of reasons, from a food allergy to skin condition or illness-but we don't know for sure. I am currently doing well and my coat is growing in. It may continue to improve or I may need further diagnostics, treatment, or other care from a veterinarian.

This cat has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. A heart murmur is an abnormal sound a veterinarian can hear when listening to an animal’s heart. Many animals with heart murmurs go on to live happy and healthy normal lives. However, the status of the murmur will need to be monitored over time.

I am overweight, and I will need a veterinarian to oversee my weight loss plan to make sure I lose weight safely. I may need a prescription veterinary diet and regular veterinarian visits to follow my progress.
