Timid, tries to flee but allows exam
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/07/18
Lying in litterbox with a low, tense body, face partially concealed. Pupils retract and then dilate as I reach towards him and he tolerates petting along his head and body while widening eyes and beginning to rapid breathe. Nervous, needs more time to adjust.

03/08/18
Crouched in front of kennel, body tense and eyes wide. Makes eye contact, then looks away. Appears to be frozen – very nervous. Tolerates petting along head and body while curling tail around feet tighter and turning head slowly to watch my hand. eats treats after I’ve walked away from his kennel. Nervous boy, needs more time to adjust.

03/11/18
Lying in back of kennel, body low and tense. Lifts head and hisses when I place treats down next to him. Uncomfortable “ too focused on me to eat treats at the moment. Needs more time to adjust. Limited interaction due to stress.
Cage Condition:
Cage is recently cleaned
Reaction to assessor:
Moscato was tense and lying down in the back of the kennel with his eyes focused on the assessor.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Moscato tenses up and shrinks his body when the assessor extends his hand out.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Moscato remains alert and motionless.
Reaction to touch:
Moscato lip licks and squints when the assessor extends his hand out. His body feels very tense and he tolerates slow, gentle petting on his head and along his body. He turns his head, following the assessor’s hand as he pets him along his back.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Timid

Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Moscato 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:
Moscato 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.
