Reaction to assessor: Camlet keeps her body lowered and was pressed up against the back wall of the kennel.
Reaction when softly spoken to: Camlet lip licks, stays immobile and keeps her eyes fixated on the assessor’s movements.
Reaction to cage door opening: Camlet flinches and becomes alert.
Reaction to touch: Camlet leans away, lip licks and frantically looks around the kennel for an exit. She seems uncomfortable but tolerates petting briefly on her head with a very slow approach. After a few soft gentle rubs she hissed then shifted away with her tail lowered.
ENRICHMENT NOTES: 02/02/17
Lying in box with legs tucked under, tense and wary; left is blinking a lot, seems to be bothering her. Was hesitant to be touched, pulled away. Didn’t force anything, needs time to adjust. Gave her wet food and some tuna.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Very fearful
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back
VOCAL: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish
RECOMMENDATIONS:
_x_ Experienced, adult home only
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
_x_ Fearful
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Experienced, Adult Only
Camlet 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. 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 her new home and family at her own pace.
Camlet has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. 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. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus.
