Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 2. Blue
KNOWN HISTORY:: Jasmine was brought in without information on his behavior history or tendencies in a home environment.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: Nervous and will flee if given the chance.
ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 01/03/18 Lying in back of kennel with a low, tense body. Leans away from my hand as I reach forward, eyes widening and ears tilting. Nervous, needs more time to adjust. 01/07/18 Hiding beneath kuranda bed, body tense with tail wrapped around feet. She tolerates petting along her head and body while leaning away from my hand and backing away. Pupils are dilated. Not interested in treats today. Needs more time to adjust. 01/08/18 Hiding beneath kuranda bed, body tense. She’s sitting upright with her tail wrapped around her feet and her pupils dilated. She darts forward and sideways to avoid touch. Sniffs treats but becomes too focused on me and environment to eat them. Nervous, needs more time to adjust. 01/09/18 Hiding beneath kuranda bed, body tense. Tail is wrapped around her. Eyes are wide and pupils are dilated. Tolerates slow and gentle petting while leaning and shrinking away in an attempt to avoid touch. Not interested in treats at the moment. Needs more time to adjust.
Cage Condition:: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:: Jasmine was tense and curled up tight in the back of the kennel.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Jasmine makes eye contact with the assessor but doesn’t get up or come forward when coaxed.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Jasmine becomes alert and his eyes dart around the kennel.
Reaction to touch:: Jasmine lowers his body and slowly shifts away looking for an exit. His body feels tense and he tolerates brief contact before attempting to flee.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Skittish,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Jasmine 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.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Jasmine 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.
