Seems very uncomfortable. He growls and leans back with flattened ears when I extend my hand out. Flinches when touched- tolerates petting on his head. He turns his head away when touched along his body, feels tense. The end of his tail flicks every time my hand passes over him. I sprayed feliway and left him alone. ACTIVITY LEVEL: Laid back VOCAL: Quiet CHARACTER TYPE: Timid POTENTIAL CHALLENGES: Fearful – Zuma 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 RECOMMENDATIONS: Experienced cat parent – Zuma 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.
