Details on my behavior are…
Elektra was brought into our care center as a stray so there is no previous history available. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Cautious and may flea but warms up and calms down with time. ENRICHMENT NOTES: Sitting crouched in back of kennel, body tense and ears flat. Tolerates petting along head and body while hissing and turning head to face my hand. Needs more time to adjust. Sprayed feliway. Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Elektra is sitting crouched in the back of her kennel with ears flattened as the assessor approaches. Reaction when softly spoken to: elektra makes eye contact when spoken to, body tense. Reaction to cage door opening: Elektra darts forward a few inches as the cage door opens, then freezes in place. Reaction to touch: Elektra tolerates petting along her head and body while hissing and lowering herself, ears flattened and tail wrapped around body. Turns head to watch assessor’s hand with a tense face. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Mellow VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Independent POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Kitten socialization Potential challenges comments: Kitten Socialization Elektra is a young cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. She may be apprehensive of people, but the behavior team believes s/he has potential to warm up to people. Kittens less than 8 weeks of age can be socialized by almost anyone; however, kittens between 2-4 months may require more time and skill in order for them to be comfortable around people. Please speak to an adoption counselor to learn more about socialization techniques. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: Experience Behavior Asilomar TM – Treatable-Manageable RECOMMENDATIONS: None BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Elektra tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Recommendations Adoption Recommendations: Comments: Suitability With Children: Other: 10/08/17 Behavior: Experience
