Finder was able to pick kitten up with her hands and place the kitten in a sweater. Kitten allowed all handling.
Behavior during intake: Kitten was at the back of the carrier but allowed me to scan for a mc, collar and take a picture without any issues. When I started petting Danish, kitten leaned into my hand.
