08/12/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Reese was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Will flee, hissing ENRICHMENT NOTES: 08/10/17 Sitting crouched in back of kennel, ears forward. He backs away as I reach forward and stumbles to the left. Wants to flee to avoid interaction, but is having trouble because of his injury. Limited interaction at this time. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Reese was lying down completely flat in his litter box. Reaction when softly spoken to: Reese lip licks then sinks deeper into his litter box and doesn’t come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Reese remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Reese leans away when approached, hisses and remains focused on the assessor’s hand. He flinches when touched, closes his eyes and starts breathing more rapidly. He seems very uncomfortable being touched and quickly shifts away after a few soft pets. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Reese 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. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Reese 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.
