MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
06/01/18
Observed Behavior -quiet, head down. allows handling
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
06/01/18
Tense, shut down. Keeps head lowered, remains completely immobile when the door opens. Tolerates touch, feels tense, tail wrapped around his body. Tilts head slightly when rubbed on cheeks. Shows no interest in treats or wet food. Needs more time to warm up.
Cage Condition:
Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:
Cardigan was crouched over by the back, facing away from the front with his eyes closed.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Cardigan flinches with sound and turns to face the assessor. His eyes are squinted and his ears tilted sideways.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Cardigan’s left eye is closed and he focuses on the assessor, but remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:
Cardigan flinches when touched and lip licks, leaning away to avoid contact. He starts to growl, but tolerates gentle petting along his body and hisses. No other reaction was displayed.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Mellow
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy
Timid
Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Cardigan 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 him 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.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Cardigan tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. He 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.
