KNOWN HISTORY:: Coraline was brought in as a stray, there is no known information on his behavior history in a home environment. Upon intake, Coraline had dilated pupils, was attempting to hide in the corner of the carrier and walked into the den on his own.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: PRIOR ASSESSMENT 1/9/26 Coraline is inside of his den. When the den cover is lifted, he turns his face and presses his body into the corner of the den. He does not sniff the scratcher tool and remains frozen when pet along his cheeks, head, and body. Caroline does not show interest in treats. Pick-up is not attempted at this time to not increase his stress further. 1/10/26 FB73 Coraline is in laying in the back of his den, pupils dilated and body tense, pressing his body against the back wall. When the den cover is lifted, he flinches, body trembling throughout the interaction. Coraline tolerates all petting with the scratcher tool but does not engage with the attention, remaining frozen while he is pet. When petting is stoped, Coraline lip licks and squiggly stress meows. A squeeze up treat is offered with the scratcher tool but he does not respond to it. 1/11/26 Vol. Hiding in den away from portal, at the back. Did not visibly move to investigate a cup of Temptations and squeeze-up dropped into den. When den cover was raised, was huddled at the back with dilated eyes and looked around a bit. Showed little interest in a pipe cleaner toy, and after a minute started to stress meow softly. Left a Feliway square. 1/14/26 Vol. Coraline was lying inside den, facing away from opening, with his tail wrapped tightly around his body. He did not react when offered treats or toys, remaining in place away from the den opening and not making any sounds. When den cover was briefly lifted, he pressed himself against back wall of den with a very tense body. 01/16/26 Vol. Coraline was curled up in his den facing the back corner when I approached his kennel. He turned his head to follow the movement of the laser light. He did 2 lip licks when he heard the kennel door open. He sniffed a peacock feather toy offered inside the den. He came part way out of the den to eat some Churu in a tray. He flinched and retreated back into his den at the sight of the scratcher. He allowed light petting on his head and back with the peacock feather while inside of his den. He then actively played with the feather. I left him with the feather toy and some Churu in a tray toward the front of his kennel. 1/18/26 Vol. In den, but poked head out when spoken to and ate cup of squeeze-up and Temptations in den. Poked head out a few more times during cleaning, and then some more for a fishing pole toy, but wasn't quite brave enough to bat at it. Came partially out of den after I walked away, then hissed and retreated when I came back. Also improving! 1/22/26 Vol. Hiding in his privacy den. Poked clicker into den with Squeeze-ups and he proceeded to eat three of them! He poked his head out to eat the last one and almost came out of his den. I gave him some tuna and he did come out of the den to eat it. Seemed improved from our last interaction. *Enrichment Notes continued in GAN*

When the cubby door is opened, he hisses before backing away, pressing his body against the back wall. Coraline is tolerant of all petting with the scratcher tool but flinches, remains tense, squints his eyes, and leans away to avoid contact. Interaction is ended to reduce FAS. Coraline tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend that this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents.
