Reaction to cage door opening:
Cuchita flinches and remains tense and alert.
Reaction to touch:
Cuchita lip licks and leans away when the assessor extends his hand out. She closes her eyes and shrinks her body when pet, but slowly starts to warm up over time.

Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Sweet
Timid
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Cuchita 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.
