04/22/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – EXPERIENCE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
4/24/15 Delphine came to us as a stray on 4/20/15. Delphine can be seen with neutral body language in the kennel when approached. She allows the assessor to pet her softly, and begins to solicit more petting and attention from the assessor through head rubs, and purring. Though she solicits this attention, Delphine approaches very cautiously and is wary of fast movements. Delphine should be interacted with at her own pace and slowly. The behavior department believes that Delphine can go to an experienced home. Reaction to assessor: does not come to front but remains neutral (2) When spoken to quietly: does not come to front but remains neutral (2) Reaction to cage door opening: remains motionless or does not respond (2) Reaction to touch: solicits petting and attention – rubs, chirps, and meows. Is very cautious when approaching and wary of fast movements (2) Placement determination: Experienced cat adopters
