Jelz is a white and gray tabby DSH with a possible injured paw. Jelz was found wandering loose and allowed finder to pick him up and pet him. Finder described Jelz as very friendly and sweet. During intake Jelz was purring loudly. Jelz allowed to be scanned and collared with a loose body and enjoyed being pet. Jelz allowed to be picked up and held with no problem. Purred the entire intake.
