04/12/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – NH ONLY
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: Sweetie was at the front, calm and relaxed. When softly spoken to, he meows softly and rubs against the cage door. Reaction to cage door opening: Sweetie remains soft and relaxed. Reaction to touch: Sweetie head-butts the assessor’s hand, twirls around in a circle, and begins to purr. After a little while, he becomes agitated and hisses, spits, and swats at the assessor’s hand. When trying to interact with him again by speaking softly to him, he solicits attention by rubbing against random objects in his cage, but would lift his paw up to swat when the assessor’s hand goes near him. As per previous owner, Sweetie was found as a stray 5 years ago and has lived with 1 adult since then. He usually keeps his distance around children, but can be respectful or fearful at times. He may dislike being picked up, because they mentioned that he would usually struggle to get away. They said he may not like men and will usually hiss, growl, and swat at them. They described him as shy, mellow, affectionate, quiet, and independent. Behavior Determination: NH ONLY Sweetie is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room and/or may require further investigation before placement in a home. He has tried to swat, scratch, and does not currently tolerate petting or handling. He may have a known history of behavioral issues that need to be addressed. The behavior department feels that placement with a New Hope Partner is the best option at this time.
