Flinched when door opened. Flattened ears, hissed at assess-a-hand, then tolerated pets, but remained tense, eyes darting. Covered cage.

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Bristol 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 who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.
