09/08/2017 PET PROFILE MEMO
09/08/17 16:28 Basic Information: Nate is a male black cat roughly 4 years old. He was found in front of out building in the Bronx. A student from a school nearby by noticed he was there in a carrier and brought it in to us. She couldn’t keep him herself due to her living situation. Behavior During Intake: Nate was in the back of the carrier, when opening the carrier he didn’t move. I placed my hand in front of him and he didn’t sniff. He started to lick his lips numerous times then hissed. I shut the door and opened it up again to tilt the carrier for him to come out and then, he attempted to swat at me and growled. I had to then proceed and tilt him into the kennel and he came out after a moment of waiting. He did not allow me to collar him
