08/29/2017 AT RISK MEMO
Sunday A1123396 is at risk with an adult only determination. He focuses on people when approached for interaction and remains by the back of his kennel. He hisses when petting is attempted, but will allow slow and gentle strokes. Although he tolerates soft attention, he remains tense and appears very uncomfortable throughout the interaction.

08/29/2017 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPNOCHILD
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
KNOWN HISTORY: Sunday was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: Hissing and spitting in cage. ENRICHMENT NOTES: 08/27/17 Lying in back of kennel with a tense body. Tolerates petting along head and body while remaining tense. Flinches when my hand passes along his back. May be uncomfortable due to injury. 08/28/17 Sitting crouched in back of kennel. He shifts back and tolerates petting with a tense body and tilted ears, leaning away from my hand. Not comfortable. Limited interaction due to injury. EVALUATION: Cage Condition: Cage is slightly re-arranged Reaction to assessor: Sunday was crouched in the back of the cage with his tail wrapped at his side. Reaction when softly spoken to: Sunday lip licks, watches the assessor with wide eyes and doesn’t come forward when coaxed. Reaction to cage door opening: Sunday hisses and becomes alert. Reaction to touch: Sunday squints, then leans back and hisses when the assessor extends his hand out. He flinches when touched and tolerates petting along his back with a very slow approach. His body feels tense, he seems very uncomfortable and he hisses throughout the interaction. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Skittish Please note that this cat 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 the behavior. RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced, adult home only – Sunday 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.
