KNOWN HISTORY:
Zorro was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to his behavior in his previous home.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:
04/18/18
Shut down with fear–recoils from touch. netted as precaution but no sign of aggression.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:
04/19/18
Standing in back of kennel, body tense and ears flat. He watches the bear-claw as it reaches towards him slowly and accepts touch along his head and body while turning his head to watch the scratcher, fur along his back twitching. Nervous and unsure, needs more time to adjust.

04/22/18
Sitting upright in back of kennel, body tense and eyes squinted. Tolerates petting along his head and body while squinting his eyes further and shifting away from my hand. Lowers body and wraps tail around feet. Not too interested in treats at the moment – may be too focused on me. Needs more time to adjust.

04/23/18
Lying in back of kennel, body low and tense. Makes eye contact when spoken to. He stands up as the kennel door opens and tries to hide behind kuranda bed, body vertical as he places himself behind the leg of the bed. Skittish and nervous. He comes back down to eat a couple of treats offered, but then freezes and focuses on the room behind me as traffic and noise increases. Not ready for petting. May respond well to clicker training, will continue. Sprayed feliway.

Cage Condition:
Cage is slightly re-arranged

Reaction to assessor:
Zorro tenses up and retreats to the back of the kennel with wide eyes, and his tail tucked under his body when approached.

Reaction when softly spoken to:
Zorro lip licks and keeps his eyes hyper focused on the assessor.

Reaction to cage door opening:
Zorro shifts away to the other side of the double kennel.

Reaction to touch:
Zorro lip licks, his ears bend slightly and he starts breathing rapidly when the assessor extends his hand out. He flinches slightly when touched, lip licks and tolerates brief contact before shifting away.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Laid back

VOCAL:
Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE:
Timid

Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
Fearful

Potential challenges comments:
Zorro 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 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

RECOMMENDATIONS:
None

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:
Zorro 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.
