Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Sal was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Wobbly, scared, handle able but must be cautious around face or when giving injections ENRICHMENT NOTES: 07/25/17 Lying in litterbox on her side. Tolerates petting along her head and body with wide eyes, body stiff as she tries to back away. Needs more time to adjust. Limited interaction due to injury. 07/27/17 Lying on her side in her kennel, ears forward and face lowered. She lifts her head as I open the kennel door and tolerates gentle petting along her head and body, backing away slightly as she lowers her head and body. Heavy breathing. 07/31/17 Sitting in litterbox, half upright with ears forward. Kennel has been rearranged. She tolerates petting along her head and body, leaning her head away from my hand slightly and tensing. Tolerates touch along her entire body and relaxes a bit when scratched on the chin/rubbed on the cheeks. Seems minimally interested in interacting. 08/02/17 Lying on her side in her litterbox. She tolerates petting along her head and body while tilting her ears and wrapping her tail around her body. Shifts weight and body becomes tense with continued petting. Tolerates all petting but doesn’t seem to be enjoying it – body is tense, she leans away and shifts her weight. Becomes uncomfortable. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid Please note that this cat is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting the behavior. POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Sal 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. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Sal 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. Dueto the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.
