Animal ID:

Animal Name: Walnut
Age: 8 Months (approx)

Tag Number:
Breed: Domestic Short Hair

Gender: Female
Spayed / Neutered: Yes

Behavior Assessment Date:
3/23/2018

KNOWN HISTORY:
Walnut was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home. Her finder reports that she was quiet, shy and allowed being pet. She spent time around other cats and was relaxed and comfortable with them.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
03/19/18
Allowed all handling but scared

ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/19/18
Lying in litterbox, body flat and tense and ears tilted. She tolerates petting along her head and body with the bear-claw while lowering her body even further and turning her head to watch the scratcher. Begins to stress meow after a few more passes along her body and continues to whine and vocalize a few seconds after interaction has ended. Uncomfortable with touch at this time. Needs more time to adjust.

03/20/18
Crouched in back of kennel, body and face very tense as I approach. She makes and maintains eye contact when spoken to and tolerates touch on her head briefly before whipping her head back and hissing. Nervous and uncomfortable at this time. I attempt clicker training but she is too focused on me and does not eat the treats during our interaction. She begins eating them once interaction has ended and cage door has been closed. Nervous, needs time to adjust.

03/21/18
Lying in front of kennel, body low and tense and ears tilted. Raises head and makes eye contact as I approach, face tensed and whiskers pulled back. She tolerates slow and gentle petting along her head and body while shifting her weight and turning her head to watch my hand with wide eyes. Sniffs the treats I place in front of her but won’t eat them during interaction – too focused on me. Needs more time to adjust.

Cage Condition:
Cage is neat

Reaction to assessor:
Walnut keeps her body lowered and tries to hide behind the kuranda bed.

Reaction when softly spoken to:
Walnut lip licks and keeps her eyes hyper focused on the assessor’s movements.

Reaction to cage door opening:
Walnut tenses up and starts to low growl.

Reaction to touch:
Walnut’s ears bend flat and she low growls when the assessor extends his hand out. She flinches when touched and presses her body against the back of the kennel. She tolerates petting/attention, but she slowly turns her head and follows the assessor’s hand when pet along her back.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back

VOCAL:
Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE:
Skittish

Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful

Potential challenges comments:
Walnut 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.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:
Experienced, adult only

Behavior Asilomar
TM – Treatable-Manageable

RECOMMENDATIONS:
None

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Walnut tolerates attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. She may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to her 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.
