12/12/2016 PET PROFILE MEMO
12/12/16 11:15 Gable A1098897 is a 12yr old neutered male orange tabby & white DSH feline who was adopted from us a day ago and is being returned due to allergies. They stated Gable was friendly, hid under the bed most of the day but then came out to eat, drink water and for some attention/affection. Gable didn’t scratch on anything in the home and didn’t interact with the two resident dogs. During intake Gable allowed all handling. He seemed to enjoy being held but doesn’t seem to like the mass on his neck being touched, also if he spots a cat in a kennel he’ll hiss at them. Gable allowed to be scanned (+) and taken pictures of. Gable didn’t seem to mind being picked up/held and was placed into a kennel with ease. A collar wasn’t placed on due to the mass on his neck. Below is his profile from when he was brought in as a stray originally several days ago: Gable A1098897 is a 12yr old neutered male orange tabby & white DSH feline who was found on a street in the Bronx a little while ago. The finder isn’t able to keep him but felt bad for him as he’s a nice cat. They stated Gable allowed them to pick him up and carry him to our BXAC location. During intake Gable was relaxed with soft body. Gable allowed to be scanned (negative), collared, pictured, and placed in a cat kennel.
