Nunu was surrendered to ACCT for urinating outside of her litterbox. When she was spayed at ACCT, Nunu was found to be in heat, with cystic endometrial hyperplasia--where the uterine lining thickens, and bacteria can grow. While we cannot say this was the reason for Nunu's discomfort, we have not noticed any inappropriate elimination while she's been in our care.
Per Foster:
"She's being doing excellent medically. No more URI symptoms and her nose is fully healed. She's been eating much better. Also zero issues with the litterbox, even now that she has more room to roam. She comes when called and really likes structure and a routine. She's very cat friendly but dogs really stress her out and she's made no progress with that.
I would say she's fully settled in now and I have a better picture of her personality and what may be going on with her. She appears to be very happy at this point...eating well, playing, she loves cat trees and scratchers. She's an active girl who loves to jump and climb. She fully trusts me at this point and knows that I won't touch her without consent. She is NOT aggressive in any way. She will growl to let you know she's not liking something and if you don't listen, she'll hit you but it's always with a soft paw. She shows zero signs that she's in pain or has anything going on with her back/tail. What she does exhibit is signs of nearly immediate overstimulation if you touch her anywhere other than her head/neck. She'll start tail twitching, skin twitching, eyes dilated, ears back and is so obviously agitated by it.
After her quarantine, I gave her a roommate. My super chill and insanely tolerant personal cat. She's been so excited to have his company! But same thing. She can't tolerate him rubbing up against her like cats do. He can head butt her, be near her, interact with her, share food, etc. She'll push him away if he attempts to rub up against her and gets agitated. He's learned to also just respect her boundaries"
