Date of intake:: 7/11/2026

Summary:: Pacing and whining

Date of initial:: 7/11/2026

Summary:: Nervous and fearful, will try to get away

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Leopard so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 3

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to fearful behavior, we recommend an experienced adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Fearful,Anxiety

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Leopard has been observed to highly fearful, noted to be tense and flinch away from handlers when they attempt to interact with handlers. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Leopard would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period. Anxiety: Leopard has been observed to be pacing around the office frantically. If Leopard displays anxious behavior in their future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving them other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety.
