Your newly adopted animal is in treatment for an upper respiratory illness and is hereby temporarily waived from spay/neuter requirements of the City of NY until such time as the illness has resolved and the pet has sufficiently recovered.
Details on my behavior are…
Behavior Condition: 3. Yellow
KNOWN HISTORY:: One was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 01/30/18 Tense in trap, tries to flee,
ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 02/01/18 Lying in back of kennel with a flat, tense body, head hidden behind litterbox. Tolerates petting along head and body while remaining very still and flattening ears. Avoids eye contact. Needs more time to adjust.
Cage Condition:: Cage is neat
Reaction to assessor:: One was tense and crouched inside his litter box.
Reaction when softly spoken to:: One’s whiskers fan out and he becomes focused on the assessor’s movements.
Reaction to cage door opening:: One tenses up and remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:: One lip licks and sinks lower into his litter box when the assessor extends his hand out. He flinches when touched, but tolerates slow gentle petting on his head and along his body.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back
VOCAL:: Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful
Potential challenges comments:: One 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:: One 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.
