***SAFE 06/04/15***PUT A HOLD ON SAD AND SCARED TABBY HANDLER Just a couple of days ago, year and a half old Handler, a healthy and neutered terrific tabby boy, was minding his own business with his feline friends, when he got lured and stuffed inside a trap and carted off to the kill-happy shelter. He’s got to be wondering, “What in the world am I doing here?” Naturally, he is a cat who feels threatened and vulnerable in the ACC environment, and you know what? Handler has every right to feel that way, because “threatened” and “vulnerable” are two words that apply to him in spades. That doesn’t mean those words will continue once he gets into a relaxed home setting. If you are planning to bring a new cat home, lock it in a live trap and subject it to an abusive environment 24/7, then this is not the cat for you. There IS no animal that would be “right” for such treatment. If you want to bring home a new cat, allow for some decompression time, and then build up a mutually loving relationship, Handler could be your cat! Let’s offer this sad and scared fella a new “leash” on life. Please contact a NH rescue and do everything possible to save this cat’s life tonight.***

06/02/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Notes: Handler was brought to the care center as a stray so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies previous to what we seeing during the evaluation. He seems to not be thriving in this environment and at the time of the assessment he was displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and may require further investigation before placement in a home. He is extremely fearful and currently does not tolerate petting or handling. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time. Reaction to assessor: does not come to front but remains neutral (2) When spoken quietly: does not come to front but remains neutral (2) Reaction to door cage opening: becomes stiff, alert (3) Reaction to touch: growls, hisses, does not allows petting at all (5) Try picking cat up: did not attempt to pick the cat up, fractious behavior Placement Determination: NewHope
