Behavior Assessment Date:

KNOWN HISTORY:
Pecan was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. Her finder reports that she was quiet, shy and allowed being pet. She spent time around other cats and was relaxed and comfortable with them.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
08/19/18
Needs restraint in towel, scared, hissed a couple times
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/19/18
Crouched in front of kennel, completely hidden beneath blanket and litterbox. Nervous – trying to hide. Tolerates petting along head while backing up further into blanket. Needs time to adjust.
03/20/18
Lying on top of kuranda bed, body relaxed and ears forward. He flattens his ears as I approach and makes eye contact. Tolerates petting along his head and shoulders with the bear-claw while turning head back to watch and hissing. Not interested in treats at the moment – may be too focused on me. Needs more time to adjust.
03/21/18
Standing in back of kennel, face tense and eyes wide. Face tenses further when spoken to and he jerks back a bit as if considering fleeing. He sniffs the air when I place treats in front of him, ears forward, then begins to eat them immediately after I’ve closed the kennel door. Pauses to watch me each time I turn and make eye contact. May respond to clicker training eventually, but is too focused on me at the moment to attempt it. Needs some time to adjust.
Cage Condition:
Cage is slightly re-arranged
Reaction to assessor:
Pecan was curled up and lying down in his litter box, with his tail wrapped around his body.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Pecan makes eye contact and slow blinks when spoken to softly.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Pecan lip licks and curls up tight in the litter box.
Reaction to touch:
Pecan’s quickly rises up, his ears bend flat and he presses his body up against the back wall of cage. He hisses when touched and tolerates petting very briefly on his head before retreating to the other side of the kennel.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Skittish
Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Pecan 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 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
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Pecan 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.
