Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 3. Yellow
Found as stray called in by Dennis due to cat looking sick/injured. No Hx avail This cat did not allow handling.
Date of Intake: 12/1/2017
Spay/Neuter status: Unknown
KNOWN HISTORY:: Noche was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: Unsocialized; hisses and regresses when approached but tolerates mild handling if you go slowly.
Cage Condition:: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:: Noche is crouched at the front of the cage, looking around with dilated eyes and tense posture.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Noche retreats quickly to the back and hunches in his litter box.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Noche remains hunched in place.
Reaction to touch:: Noche hunches lower, hides his face, and hisses at the assessor.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Mellow
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Shy ,Skittish
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,Other
Potential challenges comments:: Please note that Noche is being treated for an upper respiratory infection at the time of the behavior assessment. This condition may affect some of the behaviors shown during evaluation. Noche 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 him 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:: Noche 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.
