Reaction to cage door opening: Zoey began to stress meow, alert with eyes dilated, ears erect and forward. Reaction to touch: Zoey hisses and strikes at the assessor’s hand, avoiding the interaction. BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Zoey is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. She is extremely stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
