02/06/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Name and A#: Sunflower KNOWN HISTORY: Litter box training: Y EVALUATION: Cage Condition: no change Reaction to assessor: Sunflower was nervous Reaction when softly spoken to: Remained tense and untrusting Reaction to cage door opening: Retreated to other condo portals to avoid interaction Reaction to touch: Allowed access-a-hand to stoke head and chin. Was not trusting of body rubs and crouched body Reaction to being picked up: Would not allow pickup-ran away and “tucked up” in back of condo ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Shy POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: _x_ Fearful – Sun Flower has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has attempted. 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: _x_ Experienced, Adult Only – Sun FLower tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home who understands this cat may need time to warm up to his/her new home and family at his/her own pace. BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Please note that Sunflower is being treated for a medical condition at the time of evaluation. It is difficult to determine at this time how the medical condition may be affecting her behavior.
