FRANK – A1124042
Gone - 9-14-2017 Manhattan
**GONE 09/14/2017** Kitten FRANK entered the ACC with a maggot infestation and a few other physical challenges, but apparently none of that qualifies as “trauma” to them. Whatever. This guy has softened up some during his stay at the shelter, but he needs loving arms around him in a safe home, in order to really shine. Message [email protected] if YOU can save FRANK, tonight!

09/11/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Frank was brought in as a stray, so there is no information on his behavior history or tendencies in a home environment. He was reported to be easy to handle during intake. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Behavior: allowed all handling, tense at first but relaxed into pets and enjoyed being held, somewhat shut down at times ENRICHMENT NOTES: 9/3/17 Crouched in middle of cage, head down, eyes half open. Slowly retreated when door opened, until backed against wall. Held still when pet, eyes dilated, tense posture. Came forward again for treats when door closed. 09/07/17 Crouched by the back with head tilited. Blinks softly when spoken to, but slowly shifts away when cage door opens, looking for an escape. Hesitant, but allows touch and flinches, lowering his body and appears uncomfortable. Really treat motivated, so rewarded each time he allowed petting. Became more relaxed and didn’t seem to mind attention while eating treats. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Frank was lying down by the back, calm and relaxed. Reaction when softly spoken to: Frank makes eye contact and blinks softly. Reaction to cage door opening: Frank becomes alert, but remains in place. Reaction to touch: Frank lowers his body and focuses on the assessor’s hand. He flinches when touched gently and leans away, tilting his ears sideways. He continues to allow gentle petting with a slow approach, but he remains tense and appears uncomfortable. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid, Independent POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: – Kitten Socialization – Frank is a young cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. He may be apprehensive of people, but the behavior team believes he has potential to warm up. Kittens less than 8 weeks of age can be socialized by almost anyone; however, kittens between 2-4 months may require more time and skill in order for them to be comfortable around people. Please speak to an adoption counselor to learn more about socialization techniques. RECOMMENDATIONS: – Experienced, adult home only – Frank tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He will need time to warm up to his new home and family. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
