04/01/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Casper was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Laying in litterbox facing back of cage, stiffens slightly when touched with Assess-A-Hand, but no hissing, growling, swatting or lunging. When touched starts leaning into pets and purring. Offered slight resistance to being taken out of cage, once had on table cat began to panic because she was having trouble breathing (crusts over nares). EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Casper was at the back of the kennel with his body posture lowered and his ears pinned back. Reaction when softly spoken to: Casper shifts his body weight, hisses when spoken to softly then starts to breathe rapidly. Reaction to cage door opening: Casper’s eyes dart around. Reaction to touch: Casper inches away when approached and has a tense/stiff body when touched. She tolerates petting but seems very uncomfortable and wouldn’t come forward when coaxed. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Casper 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 Casper is being treated for an upper respiratory infection at the time of the behavior assessment. This condition may affect some of the behaviors shown during evaluation. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Casper 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 his or 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 who understands this cat may need time to warm up to her new home and family at her own pace.
