Bite history:: The feline was brought in as a stray. Behavior is unknown.

KNOWN HISTORY:: Chloe was brought in as a stray, so we cannot speak to her behavior in her previous home.

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR:: 06/07/18 Docile, lethargic

ENRICHMENT NOTES:: 06/07/18 Tense and crouched on her blanket. Slow blinks and slowly turns head to sniff hand. Accepts gentle petting along body, tilts head slightly when rubbed on cheeks. Seems a little uncomfortable with a lot of attention. Kept interaction short.

Cage Condition:: Cage is slightly re-arranged

Reaction to assessor:: Chloe was lying down and curled up near the back of the kennel, with her tail wrapped around her body.

Reaction when softly spoken to:: Chloe lip licks, and turns her head slowly to make eye contact.

Reaction to cage door opening:: Chloe tenses up and becomes alert.

Reaction to touch:: Chloe's pupils dilate and she hisses when the assessor's extends his hand out. She sniffs his hand, and starts breathing rapidly, but tolerates slow, pets along her head and body.

ACTIVITY LEVEL:: Laid back

VOCAL:: Quiet

CHARACTER TYPE: : Timid,Independent

POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:: Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Chloe 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 her 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 your cat to their fear stimulus.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION: : Experienced, adult only

Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable

RECOMMENDATIONS:: None

BEHAVIOR SUMMARY:: Please note that this cat has a severe medical condition so we may not be seeing any true behavior and behavior may change when the cat’s medical condition improves. Chloe 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.
