09/12/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Anchor was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: A little timid, allows exam and treatment with moderate restraint. ENRICHMENT NOTES: 09/10/17 Sitting in litterbox with a tense body, eyes wide. She moves as if to retreats as I open the kennel door, then pauses and crouched down in front of her portal. Tolerates petting along her head and body while hissing. Wraps tail around feet and licks lips. 09/11/17 Sitting crouched in litterbox, body and head low and pupils dilated. She backs away and hisses as the bear-claw reaches towards her, then retreats through her portal with her tail lowered after the bear-claw makes contact. Not comfortable enough to eat treats as I’m watching. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Anchor was crouched in the litter box with her ears bent flat. Reaction when softly spoken to: Anchor’s eyes become dilated and she hisses when spoken to softly. Reaction to cage door opening: Anchor is tense and alert. Reaction to touch: Anchor rises up, hisses and displays distance increasing behaviors when approached. She seems very uncomfortable and currently doesn’t allow any handling. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Independent POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Anchor has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide her with the chance to move closer, investigate, or interact with you. Be sure to offer incentive such as treats or play time whenever the cat makes a small positive step. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Anchor tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children.She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home.Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
