03/30/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Ben was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Fearful, allowed removal from carrier, resisted restraint and fled. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Ben was lying down at the back with his head pressed up against the kennel wall. Reaction when softly spoken to: Ben turns to make eye contact with the assessor but doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Ben remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Ben slow blinks and leans away when the assessor extends his hand out. He flinches when the assessor touches him and remains immobile when petted/rubbed on his head. His body feels tense/stiff and he slowly shifts away with his tail lowered when he’s had enough. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Ben has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may dislike certain types of handling. 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. Please note that this cat has a severe medical condition so we may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Ben tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his 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 who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
