Manhattan Center
Hello, my name is Ecko. My animal id is #19057. I am a desexed female white cat at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 24-Jan-2018.
Ecko is at risk for behavior reasons. Ecko is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in adoptions. She has tried to swat, is extremely fearful in the shelter environment, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. Medically, Ecko presented at the Care Center with inappetence and very mild hypernatremia, which are now resolved.
My medical notes are…
Weight: 7.625 lbs

CHARACTER TYPE: : Skittish,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Ecko has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. 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.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : New hope only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Ecko is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. She has tried to swat, is extremely fearful in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
