Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 4. Orange
KNOWN HISTORY:: Mo was brought into the care center as as stray so we have no previous history available.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 01/26/18 caught in the net, needed to sedate after checking heart
ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 02/01/18 Crouched in back of kennel, body tense and tail wrapped around feet. Makes and maintains eye contact. Retreats through portal when approached. Too focused on me and environment to eat treats during interaction. Nervous, needs more time to adjust.
Cage Condition:: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:: Mo is crouched in back of his kennel as the assessor approaches, body tense and tail wrapped around feet. Eyes are wide and ears are forward.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: Mo is makes eye contact when spoken to slowly.
Reaction to cage door opening:: Mo widens his eyes and lowers his body as the cage door opens.
Reaction to touch:: Mo comes forward to smell the assessor’s hand, ears remaining forward, then tolerates petting along his head and body for a few moments before retreating through his portal with a low body and tail.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Mellow
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Mo 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.
BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experience
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:: None
Recommendations comments::
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Mo tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
