KNOWN HISTORY:: Oreo Girl was brought in without information on her behavior history in a home environment.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 8/27/26 FB58 In her den and hidden from view, when the cover is lifted she is curled up and a sneezy little girl. I offer her some toys and treats but I can't coax her out - even the laser pointer. She seems a little curious but may just be under the weather. 8/28/26 FB61 Oreo Girl is in her cat den upon approach, body and face neutral with her tail curled around her feet. I leave her some treats but she shows no immediate interest. When I lift her den cover she vocalizes softly and repeatedly. She hisses when presented with the scratcher tool and she tolerates head pets without escalating. Needs time. 9/14/25 FB79 At the top of the kennel, Oreo is enjoying her dinner and had no interest in me when i entered the kennel; she had a neutral face and body with her tail mid level. As i spoke to her she would look over and slow blink but would return to her food. I left her a catnip toy and a treat for dessert 9/20/26 FB47 Oreo girl greets me at the front of the kennel with a loose face and body. When I open the kennel door and greet her, she begins to rub her body against her den and the side wall. I am wearing bite gloves. She accepts head and neck pets. I begin to pet her body and her tail and body begin to wave. She latches onto my arm. Once my arm is free we continue with head and neck pets. We play with the laser pointer. At the end of our interaction I give her a new scratcher with some cat nip on it. She goes right for it! 9/21/26 FB79 At the front of the kennel, Oreo Girl sat with her tail wrapped and her eyes neutral; when i entered she stood with a mid level tail and started to head bunt/push the door with her head while i tried to keep it only slightly open to avoid her from jumping out. I used the tool to pet her back and body as she paced back and forth and would occasionally turn back harshly towards it. I used the bubble machine with she enjoyed and i left her a tray of treats with a toy. 10/01/26 FB61 Standing in front of kennel, leaning against door with a soft expression and ears forward. Her tail is raised, curved and begins swaying as I open the kennel door. She leans in for petting with the scratcher tool while arching her back, turning her head and rubbing her cheeks all over it. I offer her a tuna pop and she accepts it with no signs of escalation. She appears to have a very high energy level, but I think she is getting more tolerant with the potential to allow petting! 10/16/26 FB61 Oreo Girl is showing consistent signs of overstimulation at this time. They do not need socialization, these behaviors are likely to continue in a home environment and this is not an indication that this cat is under socialized. They are a cat who may be sensitive to physical or environmental stimuli. They will benefit from plenty of non-contact, interactive playtime and mental stimulation in their new home.

Potential challenges comments:: Please see relevant behavior flyers. 10/20/26 During her third behavioral assessment Oreo Girl displayed physical signs of overstimulation while interacting with the assessor but did not escalate. Oreo Girl did not escalate to biting or rough play at this time. During her assessment, bite gloves were worn as a precaution. She may have the potential to escalate to biting and/or rough in a home environment, however she has restrained herself from escalating to that point so far here in shelter at this time. She allowed all pets and was affectionate with the assessor although she displayed some classic physical signs of overstimulation (fast movement, body waving, tail switching). Future adopters should be well counseled in overstimulation, rough play, and very high energy level. 9/20/26 During her second behavioral assessment Oreo Girl started to engage in rough play and became overstimulated while interacting with the assessor. When they put their hand/arms into the kennel (wearing bite gloves), Oreo Girl solicited attention but quickly became overstimulated after a few pets over her body. Her body and tail began to lean and wave back and forth quickly. She wrapped her front arms and paws, with extended claws, around the assessors arm and began to bite down. She displayed no defensive behaviors such as hissing, growling, vocalizing, or swatting. After the fact, she did distance herself from the assessor before reapproaching.
