KNOWN HISTORY:: Mickey was brought in without information on his behavior history or tendencies in a home environment.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: Nervous, allowed all handling
Cage Condition:: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:: Mickey was tense, slow blinks and was crouched in the back of the cubby.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Mickey keeps her eyes focused on the assessor and didn’t get up or come forward when coaxed.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Mickey is alert and slowly starts to move away.
Reaction to touch:: Mickey tenses up, lowers her body and tries to dodge the assessor when he extends his hand out. Her ears bend slightly, she lip licks and keeps her eyes focused on the assessor’s hand as he pets her along her body.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Mickey 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.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Mickey 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 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.
