MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
Calm, friendly
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
04/10/17
Laying low towards back of kennel with a crouched body and ears flattened. Sniffs my hand when approached and shifts back with tilted ears when pet along head, whiskers back. Needs time to warm up. Sprayed feliway.
04/11/17
Still lying down at the back of the cubby. His ears flatten and he slowly arches his back when the cubby door opens. He hissed when I extended my hand forward and started lip licking. Was open to interacting today. Left some treats outside and sprayed feliway.
04/12/17
Wary of surroundings, flinches when the cubby door opens. Shifts around and turns his head to the wall. His eyes are wide/ alert and fixated on my movements. He closes his eyes when spoken to softly and doesn’t feel confident enough to come forward. Tense/stiff body, flinches and shifts around when touched. Starts to grumble. Wasn’t too interested in treats. I’m having him moved to room 6, should be a little more quiet and less stressful.
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back
VOCAL: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful – Iris 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 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.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Experienced, adult home only – Iris 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 who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his new home and family at his own pace.

04/13/17:
Sitting crouched in back of kennel, mouth open. When I open the kennel I realize the collar is stuck around his mouth, forcing it open. I was able to cut it off and I alerted medical. Collar had some blood on it. He hissed at me when I came back – didn’t want to push him further. Probably uncomfortable due to the pain in his mouth. Sprayed feliway.
