Observed Behavior – feral type fleeing behavior described by intake staff
ENRICHMENT NOTES:

03/4/18
Crouched in back of kennel, tail curled around body and body tense. Tolerates petting along head and body with the bear-claw while turning head away and licking lips. Shifts weight. Uncomfortable, needs more time to adjust. Not interested in treats at the moment.

Reaction to cage door opening:
Townsen remains motionless.
Reaction to touch:
Townsen sniffs the assessor’s hand and accepts gentle petting. He slowly shifts away to his other kennel space, but allows gentle strokes along his body as he moves away. He tolerates gentle petting, but continues to shift away to avoid further contact.
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Moderate
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy
Timid
Independent
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful
Potential challenges comments:
Townsen has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and appears uncomfortable with extended 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:
Experienced, adult only
Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Townsen 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.
