Behavior Assessment
This information is supplied as a guide only based on the history supplied to us and on our observations of the animal in the shelter. Animal Care Centers of NYC, its employees and agents accept no responsibility in the event that the animal behaved differently from its description above nor are any guarantees made in respect of its future behavior.
KNOWN HISTORY: Genevieve was brought in as a stray, there is no known information on his behavior history in a home environment.
EVALUATION:
ACTIVITY LEVEL:
Subdued
VOCAL:
Quiet
CHARACTER TYPE:
Shy
Calm
Sweet
Timid
Skittish
POTENTIAL CHALLENGES:
New home adjustment period
Fearful
Potential challenges comments: Genevieve should be given a slow introduction to the home, one room at a time starting in a small room like a bathroom with food, litter and water. Interact with his in this room until he seems sufficiently confident that you feel you can introduce him to the next part of the home without running the risk that he will hide. Please speak to an adoption counselor for additional information on methods to help introduce your cat to the home.
Genevieve has displayed fearful behavior during their stay in the care center and has displayed distance-increasing behavior with extended handling. Fear aggression can occur when a cat perceives a threat and may escalate if they cannot escape. A fearful cat will feel more relaxed when given options, so provide him 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:
Level 3
RECOMMENDATIONS:
No young children
Recommendations comments: No young children under 13 years old, Counselor discretion advised.
BEHAVIOR SUMMARY: Genevieve was huddled in the back of his litter box with dilated eyes and his tail wrapped around his legs. His body remained stiff and tense, showing no interest in the treats offered to him. He accepted petting along his head and body but did not engage with the handler, his body remaining tense. When adding pressure to his chest and side to simulate pick up, he began breathing heavily but allowed the handling, remaining stiff in the back of his litter box.
Genevieve tolerates attention and petting but appears fearful or stressed in the shelter. He may be a little more independent, and may need time to warm up to his new home. We recommend this cat go to a home with experienced cat parents. Due to the behavior shown, he may not be a great fit for young children. Any home with older children prepared to adopt this cat should conduct a thorough interaction and endeavor to monitor this cat around their children to prevent these behaviors from being reinforced.
Other: Level 3 - 06/27/26
What my friends at ACC say about me:
* My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!
* I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.
* I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing.
* I am looking for a home with a patient person.
* I can be slow to adjust to new environments. I prefer to take things at my own pace.
* I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
* I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
* I'm sensitive and shy. I'll need extra help from you.
* I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.
A volunteer writes:
Police were alerted by a Good Samaritan about a dog crate containing nine cats sitting in a big mess... Young cats, middle aged cats and one oldie, Genevieve. All on the thin side, the young ones needing mostly just basic care and love (some have already been adopted). When staff brought Eloise to the adoption area, I thought he was one more of the many seniors who arrived at the care center over the last few days. Eloise is a very poorly kept(he was bathed in the medical room) and very underweight (5 lbs) Tuxedo with a hanging tongue and a thick saliva as he has severe and painful stomatitis for which he gets symptomatic treatment. One year old... There must be some mistake.... Well, no, Eloise is a youngster whose Lucky Star never shone on. He stayed crumpled in a corner, defeated and likely hoping to be left alone. I padded his kennel with freshly bought baby blankets and gave him "Delectables" which he ate almost in its entirety. He put up with some petting and turned around, asking for a rest. Right now, we are trying to make Eloise comfortable and make sure he eats. What he needs, beside veterinary follow up, is a caring and experienced foster/adopter and a home sweet home where he will feel safe and loved. Will you be Eloise's real Lucky Star?
