KNOWN HISTORY:
Fergie was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
Very sweet but was nervous and urinated/defecated during exam.
Cage Condition:
Cage is recently cleaned
Reaction to assessor:
Fergie was curled up and resting on her bedding at the back of the cage.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Fergie lifts her head up and glances over at the assessor with soft eyes.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Fergie lip licks and remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:
Fergie shrinks her body and lip licks when the assessors extends his hand out. She seems hesitant of contact and flinches slightly when touched. Her body tenses up, she keeps her tail at her side, but slowly starts to warm up with attention. After a few seconds she starts to lean and solicit attention. She keeps her body lowered and doesn’t feel comfortable enough to come forward.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy

Sweet
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Fergie has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and may dislike certain types of handling. 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.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Average
Behavior Asilomar
H – Healthy
RECOMMENDATIONS:
None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Fergie may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.

12/17/17 Behavior: Average.
Although Fergie displayed fearful behavior when initially brought in, she has acclimated to the shelter environment and now comes forward to solicit attention. She vocalizes when spoken to and allows all petting. Her tail quivers and she allows the assessor to pick her up, purring softly throughout the interaction. This cat can now go to a home with beginner or experienced cat parents.

 

A volunteer writes: If you are looking for a sweet, sociable companion, look no further than beautiful Fergie. She is affectionate and likes to be petted while she eats. Fergie would make a fine addition to any lucky family. She is waiting for a meet and greet with you in our Brooklyn location.
