STATEN ISLAND CENTER
Hello, my name is Noah. My animal id is #20367. I am a desexed female black cat at the Staten Island Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 10-Feb-2018.
ZIP Code From: 10304
Noah 20367 is at risk due to being diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other cats. Noah also has behavior concerns and received a New Hope Only behavior determination. He has been fearful in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior. He accepts some petting, but will show discomfort when he’s had enough attention.
My medical notes are…

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: Noah 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 her 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: : New hope only
Behavior Asilomar: TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Noah is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. She is extremely fearful in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
