11/23/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Petunia was brought to the shelter as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in a previous home. Our enrichment facilitator reports that Petunia has been tense and wary while at the shelter, hiding, but allowed to be pet and picked up and held. She was mostly unresponsive to the touching, remained unmoving and tense. Reaction to assessor: Petunia was hiding under her blanket, quiet. Reaction when softly spoken to: Petunia remained hiding. Reaction to cage door opening: Petunia remained hiding, motionless. Reaction to touch: After peeling back the blanket, Petunia looked at the assessor, remained motionless and appeared tense. The assessor was able to pet Petunia all over, but she remained stiff. Reaction to pick-up: The assessor was able to pick up and hold Petunia, but she remained stiff and seemed uncomfortable. When returned to her cage, Petunia climbed under her blanket to hide. Behavior Determination: Experience No Children Petunia tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in a calm, quiet home with experienced cat parents and without children.
