10/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Butterfly was brought in without information on his behavioral tendencies in a home environment. He lived with three other cats and was hissing upon intake. The counselors were able to pick him up using gloves and positioned him for pictures. He attempted to flee, but allowed handling and started to growl once inside his carrier. He also displayed distance-increasing behaviors during his initial medical exam. Reaction to assessor: Butterfly was lying in his litter box, calm and relaxed. Reaction when softly spoken to: Butterfly looks at the assessor, and then he averts his gaze. Reaction to cage door opening: Butterfly starts to growl becomes stiff and alert. Reaction to touch: Butterfly hisses at the assessor’s hand, but pokes his head forward to sniff it. He accepts brief petting on his head, but hisses and strikes at the hand to end contact. Behavior Determination: New Hope Only Butterfly is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He has tried to swat, is extremely uncomfortable 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.
