He is shy and hides for days. Noah is relaxed and respectful around children. He is afraid of the other cats at home. He runs and hides when they approach him and he prefers to hang out alone. Noah also was described to be friendly, affectionate and mellow cat with low energy. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Observed Behavior – taken out of cage with net because of suspected fractiousness, but very quickly calmed and was purring and allowed all handling, friendly ENRICHMENT NOTES: 10/9/17 Resting under kuranda bed, eyes dilated, very alert. Hissed when door first opened, then warmed up significantly when given treats. Ate treats from my hand, leaned and arched into pets, purred, tail danced. Hissed again later when given toys. Needs time to acclimate. 10/10/17 Crouched under kuranda bed, eyes dilated, wary. Hissed when door first opened, then immediately started leaning and arching into pets, purring, and tail dancing. Ate offered treats. Hissed again when approached on second visit. Seems timid, easily startled. Cage Condition: Cage is neat Reaction to assessor: Noah becomes alert with eyes wide open, crouched position at the back of the cage. Reaction when softly spoken to: Noah remains immobile in place. Reaction to cage door opening: Noah hissed, distance increased, ears drawn flat to the side. Reaction to touch: Noah was hesitant at first, but began to slowly approach and head bunts the assessor’s hand while body posture remained soft with tail up. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Moderate VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Curious Independent BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: Experience Behavior Asilomar TM – Treatable-Manageable BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Noah 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.
