09/19/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Popper was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Very nervous and will flee EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Popper was curled up tight inside her litter box. Reaction when softly spoken to: Popper stays curled up and didn’t get up or come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Popper remains motionless. Reaction to touch: Popper hisses then curls up and shrinks her body to appear smaller when the assessor approaches. She’s timid at first but slowly warms up, leans in for attention and allows petting all over her body. Reaction to being picked up: Popper was tense when picked up, then got antsy and leaped away. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Popper 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 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. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Popper may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
