Hello, my name is Biscuit . My animal id is #20540. I am a desexed male brown tabby cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old. – P

I came into the shelter as a stray on 12-Feb-2018.

Biscuit is at risk for behavior reasons. Biscuit is very scared and anxious in the care center, and whilst he will tolerate some petting, he remains wary of the person and appears uncomfortable with the interaction. Biscuit is FIV positive.

Details on my behavior are…

Behavior Condition: 3. Yellow

  • Behavior History
  • Behavior Assessment

Upon intake Biscuits eyes were really dilated. He had a relaxed body posture and was turning his head slowly. He was not interested in cat treats. The second his trap was opened he ran off and climbed the admissions counter. He hid behind the admissions photo backdrop. He was not hissing but at each approached the counselor made he jumped to higher ground. The counselor was finally able to get him into a feral den. He attempted to flee once more and therefor no further handling was used to mitigate stress.

Date of Intake: 2/12/2018

Is this cat having litter box issues?: No

Basic Information:: Biscuit is a male domestic short hair brown tabby. He arrived to MACC as a stray. He was brought in by the NYPD because the cat was stuck in a backyard whose owner was severely allergic to cats.

KNOWN HISTORY:: Biscuit was brought in as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 2/13/18 Observed Behavior -escape/feral type fleeing behavior. recoils from touch

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 2/13/18 Resting in den, almost out of sight, eyes dilated. No response to door opening or being spoken to. Allowed touch, still no response. 2/14/18 Resting in den, flinched when door opened, then lay in place, eyes dilated. Flinched again and shifted away when touched, no other response. 2/15/18 In den, no response to being spoken to or door opening. Actually poked head out after den rotated, eyes dilated, whiskers forward. Tolerated pets, but still seemed unsure of environment. 2/18/18 Still in den, no response to being spoken to or door opening. Whined when den rotated, but continued to lay still. Allowed all pets, no response at all. 2/19/18 Briefly exploring cage today! Retreated quickly into den on approach, peeking through window, eyes dilated. Moved further into den when door opened, put face in corner. Flinched when touched, then held immobile. 2/20/18 Resting in den, soft eyes and body. Lay in place when door opened, showed no interest in treats. Allowed all pets, continued to look around. Seemed nice and calm today!

Cage Condition:: No change

Reaction to assessor:: Biscuit remains tense, crouched position hiding in the cat den during the approach.

Reaction when softly spoken to:: Biscuit becomes alert with eyes wide open, pupils dilated.

Reaction to cage door opening:: Biscuit remains stiff in place, ears erect and forward.

Reaction to touch:: Biscuit accepts the touch while looking at the assessor’s hand during the stroke, but shows no interest towards the interaction.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Independent

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Biscuit 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.

    Beautiful young Biscuit is FIV+ and healthy, a gentle and shy boy who is allowing pets and warming up at the shelter. He deserves a calm and loving home. Pledging $5 for sweet Biscuit.
