Crouched position at the back of the cage cubby, pupils dilated, sniffs and sits upright while slowly withdrawing from the hand, accepts a brief touch on the head, ears turn sideways, lip licks and anxiously looks around.

7/25/18
A little better today! Exploring cage on approach, tense, eyes dilated. Hissed when spoken to, retreated to cubby, crouched down behind litter box. Raised head when door opened, leaned away from touch, stress meowed. Ate offered treat after door closed, seemed to warm up a bit. Came out to shelf, tail up, sniffed hand and started rubbing against the bars. Eyes still dilated, continually focused on door, upset about hallway noise?

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful

Potential challenges comments:
Mr. Bella 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.
