ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 9/8/26 FB25 Coraline is inside of her den. When I open the door and talk softly to her, she pops her head out pretty quickly. She stares at me with very wide eyes and dilated pupils, but doesn't hiss or show any defensive behaviors. I slide in a dish of treats, and she just continues staring at me. I set up a cage cover for her, hopefully that will encourage her to explore a little more. 9/11/26 FB58 In her den and hidden from view, she begins to hiss and low growl as I close the portal door - as I lift the den cover, she is sitting curled up tightly with a tense face and body, eyes wide and dilated as she is pressed into the back corner. She watches with eyes wide as I offer dry treats through the holes in the side of the den, and she sniffs at the air and doesn't eat. When I lift the den portal, she darts out of the den but remains curled up in a small ball at the back of the cage next to the den and darts right back into the den. I leave her some catnip toys and end the interaction. 9/14/26 FB25 Coraline is sitting at the front of the kennel, and hisses when I lift the cage cover. She moves back toward her den opening, sitting in a crouched and tense position as she continues to hiss at me and low growl. I slide a dish of treats to her with a tool and she does begin eating it right in front of me. Once she is calm and just watching me with wide eyes, I talk softly while slow blinking and then end the session here. 9/17/26 FB79 Sweet girl Coraline is peaking out of the den when i lifted the kennel cover; she hissed harshly with her eyes wide but quickly focused on the light show behind me. She had wide dilated eyes but no longer hissed as she gazed between me and the lights. I spoke to her softly and she slow blinked as few times but kept her eyes wide. 9/23/26 FB25 I lifted Coraline's kennel cover to allow her to watch a light show in the room as I played music. She doesn't leave her den, however she does appear to be interested, watching the lights intently and calmly. When I slide in treats, she has no negative reaction! Hopefully she will enjoy them when I leave. For now, she continues watching the show, slowly blinking. 9/27/26 FB79 Inside of her den, Coraline wakes up when i enter the kennel and had soft eyes with her tail wrapped; she hissed when i placed a tray of treats near her den door but when i removed my hand she leaned out to sniff and lick a bit of squeeze ups. However, she wasnt too happy when i entered w the tool and attempted contact - she pulled her head back into the den while harsher hissing with her eyes now dilated and her ears tilting/almost flat. she continued to hiss as i closed and locked the kennel door but i lifted the kennel cover a bit so she could see the light show i set up and she laid in her den with a neutral body as enjoyed.

Potential challenges comments:: Client stated that on 9/5/26: Coraline initially approached her in a friendly manner, rubbing against her and seeking affection. The client began petting Coraline but after a few moments, the cat suddenly turned around and began biting, scratching, and growling at the client. The client attempted to remove Coraline from her leg several times before she was finally able to by placing a comforter over the cat to distract her and ran into the bathroom. She reported that Coraline continued to chase her until she was able to close the bathroom door. The client then called a friend for assistance. Once the friend arrived and rang the doorbell, Coraline ran away and hid, as the client stated that the cat is afraid of the sound of the doorbell. The client then exited the bathroom but reported that Coraline continued to hiss at her from a distance. They reported they believe her behavior is linked to Coraline being in heat. There was also a reported incident with a male cat that happened on 08/31/2026. The client explained she had kept them separate for a while because the male cat had been neutered and when they were allowed to see each other again, she believes that Coraline did not recognize him and became afraid when he attempted to play with her which prompted her to attack him instead of play. No blood was drawn and he had no visible injuries but they attempted to keep the cats separate since then. Along with potentially being in heat, Coraline is also noted throughout much of her behavior profile to be a cat that prefers contact on her own terms and can escalate to hissing, swatting, growling, nipping, scratching, or biting if her boundaries are not respected. This reaction may have been increased by her hormones/being in heat. 10/13/26 Coraline appears to have been making major improvements during socialization sessions and now comes out of her den on her own to interact with members of the behavior team. This is evident in an interaction on 9/29/26: "Coraline returned slow blinks through the den and then surprised me by voluntarily walking out. She stretched with relaxed body language, head-bunted my hand, and actively sought pets, leaning into touch and continuing to come closer. A sudden movement startled her and she hissed, but she remained calm afterward and continued to enjoy attention. She is still somewhat jumpy but showed great improvement!" Coraline was moved into a new room relatively recently to when her re-evaluation was, so she was not as comfortable yet in her new environment. However, she was still much more comfortable and tolerant of touch than she has been in the past.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Level 3

RECOMMENDATIONS:: No other cats OR multi-cat home with adopters experienced with introducing new cats,Adult only home

Recommendations comments:: No other cats - PLEASE SEE 'KNOWN HISTORY' ABOVE.

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: 9/13/26 Inside of her den, Coraline peaked her head out when the assessor entered her kennel; she had wide eyes and her ears tilted as she hissed harshly. She watched the assessor closely as they greeted her and when treats were offered she leaned in to sniff. However when the tool was used to try and pet she pulled back harshly hissing/spitting - Coraline did not tolerate any petting as she kept retreating into the den then poking her head back out to get a look at the assessor and further movement. When the den cover was lifted she had a tense body with her back arched as she hissed with a tightly wrapped tail. When the tool was brought in slowly she tolerated briefly petting while still hissing before snapping back into the corner. 10/13/26 On approach, Coraline is in her den with a somewhat tense face and body, watching the room with eyes wide. She hisses and tilts her ears when the door is opened and the assessor places a tray with squeeze up in it near the den opening. She begins to low growl but is curious and slowly pokes her head but to begin eating. As she eats the assessor offers out the scratcher tool, and she is tolerant of pets on her head. The assessor moves her food tray into her den and instead of moving back into the den, she continues to slowly make her way out. As she steps out of the den, she continues to low growl and is tense with wide eyes. She comes all of the way out, and as she looks around - she is tolerant of light touch along her head and back with her tail raised. She moves back into her den and hisses as the portal door is closed, in order for the assessor to move her to a condo. Once in the condo with her portal opened, she pokes her head out again and actually begins to explore the new cage. Pick up was not attempted to prevent further FAS. Coraline 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.
