Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 3. Yellow
Upon intake Superstar was tranquilized so the cat was taken straight to medical. The cat scanned negative for a microchip and while he was waking up he allowed limited handling.
KNOWN HISTORY:: Super Star was brought in as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 12/28 Observed Behavior – Allows initial head petting but hisses when restrained
Cage Condition:: Cage is slightly re-arranged
Reaction to assessor:: Super Star remains neutral, lying down on his cage bedding during the approach.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Super Star becomes alert and began to hiss.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Super Star remains immobile in place, ears erect and forward.
Reaction to touch:: Super Star avoids contact, hisses at the assessor’s hand and yowls while leaning away preventing any further interaction.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Independent
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : New hope only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Super Star is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home He is stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
