04/08/17
A little nervous. Her body was pressed up against the back of the kennel with her tail at her side. Slow blinks. Takes some time before she opens up. Not really interested in treats. Started to warm up when spoken to softly. Sprayed feliway.
04/09/17
Body low and crouched down. Licks lips and scoots back when approached. Is tolerant of soft petting along head, closes eyes and relaxes with continued soft pets on head. When I move to pet along body Tink tenses up and looks back at my hand with tail curling around her body. Appreciates head strokes, but needs more time. No interest in toys or treats.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
A little nervous. Her body was pressed up against the back of the kennel with her tail at her side. Slow blinks. Takes some time before she opens up. Not really interested in treats. Started to warm up when spoken to softly. Sprayed feliway.
EVALUATION:
Cage Condition: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor: Tink was curled up in the back of the kennel with her tail wrapped around her body.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Tink’s ears rotate, her eyes dart around then she slowly turns her head away.
Reaction to cage door opening: Tink is alert and starts lip licking.
Reaction to touch: Tink looks wary and starts lip licking when the assessor extends his hand out. She closes her eyes when touched, and allows petting all over her body. She eventually opens her eyes and leans in when rubbed on her cheeks but wouldn’t come forward when coaxed.
Reaction to being picked up: Tink was tense when picked up and curls up in the assessor’s arms.
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back
VOCAL: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: Shy
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Experienced cat parent – Tink may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
