09/19/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Chester was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: very sweet. Easily handle able and easy to pick up. Enjoys being held and did well for all medical handling and procedures. Is rapidly breathing during exam EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Chester was crouched at the back of the kennel with his paws folded under his body. Reaction when softly spoken to: Chester lip licks and keeps his eyes focused on the assessor. Reaction to cage door opening: Chester is alert and remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Chester leans away and hisses when the assessor extends his hands out to make contact. He closes his eyes and tolerates petting on his head and along his body as long as you go slowly. He seems uncomfortable and turns his head away when he’s had enough. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Independent RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Chester 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.
