Friendly house cat, allows handling

KNOWN HISTORY:: Castalia was brought in as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 1/17 Observed Behavior – timid – allowed for examination very easily but upon injecting vaccination became fractious.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 1/18/18 Curled up at back of cubby behind litter box, tense, eyes dilated. Lay in place when door opened, very alert, focused on assess-a-hand. Leaned away from touch, hissed, started lip licking. 1/21/18 Dozing behind litter box. Looked up and became alert when door opened, eyes dilated. Tolerated brief pets, then flinched away. Tolerated further touch while eating, otherwise moved around to avoid. Still seems uncomfortable with surroundings.

Cage Condition:: No change

Reaction to assessor:: Castalia remains neutral, sitting upright behind the litter box in the cage cubby.

Reaction when softly spoken to:: Castalia becomes alert with eyes wide open.

Reaction to cage door opening:: Castalia becomes stiff, ears erect and forward.

Reaction to touch:: Castalia accepts a brief touch on the head and body, but began to stress meow after a few strokes. She got agitated then began to hiss and swat at the assessor’s hand to stop the interaction.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Shy ,Curious,Independent

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Castalia 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.
