CHARACTER TYPE: : Skittish,Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful,Other

Potential challenges comments:: Givenchy 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. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to desensitize your cat to their fear stimulus. Please note that Givenchy is being treated for an upper respiratory infection at the time of the behavior assessment. This condition may affect some of the behaviors shown during evaluation.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : New hope only

Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable

RECOMMENDATIONS:: None

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Givenchy is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He has tried to swat, bite, is extremely fearful in the shelter environment, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
