Brooklyn Center

*RETURN*

Steppenwolf 22788 / 10036 – 10 yr. neutered black, stray:

 

BEHAVIOR:

KNOWN HISTORY:
Steppenwolf was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.
MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
03/13/18
Very sweet. Easily handle able. Did well for all medical handling and procedures
ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/14/18
Lying in back of kennel, body relaxed. Allows petting all over while remaining calm, ears forward. Sniffles. Doing well after first day.
Cage Condition:
Cage is slightly re-arranged
Reaction to assessor:
Steppenwolf was tense and lying down completely flat, pressed up against the back wall of the kennel.
Reaction when softly spoken to:
Steppenwolf feint sleeps and doesn’t respond when coaxed by the assessor.
Reaction to cage door opening:
Steppenwolf remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:
Steppenwolf remains completely motionless and doesn’t react when touched by the assessor. He lip licks and tolerates being pet on his head and along his body. After a few minutes of attention he tilts his head and leans forward allowing petting and rubs on his cheeks.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Timid

Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Steppenwolf 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:
Experience
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
RECOMMENDATIONS:
None
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Please note that Steppenwolf is being treated for an upper respiratory infection at the time of the behavior assessment. This condition may affect some of the behaviors shown during evaluation.

Steppenwolf 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.
