***SAFE 09/06/15*** ARGYLE is already spayed, and she came in from the CONEY ISLAND section of Brooklyn. When she arrived she was found to have a wound that was open and for once, the ACC followed up and TREATED (gasp) this girl so she is actually healing well and has an excellent prognosis—or did, til then, in a strange turn, they decided it was now time to send ARGYLE’S life….this makes no sense, right? Well, sadly, it happens here. ARGYLE was found as a stray, and this might have saved her life. No one knows how she was injured, but she is on the road to recovery if she can get out of there alive that is. One thing is for sure-she is spayed and was someone’s cat. Is she missing, or was she left outside to fend for herself? It’s so unfair this gentle girl has had to go through all this, and it would be a bitter thing if she were killed after all this. This is one of the worst weekends-hardly anyone is coming forward for these cats, and this gorgeous girl’s life is in peril. Please save her tonight!!! Offer her bed and breakfast and FOSTER her!!! Be a hero and save this precious lovely patchwork calico’s life tonight!!!

08/19/2015 PET PROFILE MEMO
08/19/15 19:21 Profile wasn’t left due to animal being stray. Behavior During Intake: Argyle was brought into the facility in a cat carrier by the finder. Upon arrival Argyle was very vocal and sitting at the front of the cat carrier. When I extended my hand she just nudged her head into it initiating attention. I was able to scan, collar, and handle her with no issues.
WEB MEMO

08/22/2015 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Reaction to assessor: At the front of the cage. (1) Reaction to being spoken to quietly: Stays at the front, solicits attention. (1) Reaction to cage door opening: Remains soft and relaxed. (1) Reaction to touch: Solicits petting and attention, but hisses when her paws are touched. (2) Reaction to being picked up: Not tolerant, vocalizes. Notes: Argyle came to the shelter as a stray, so we don’t have any behavioral history or tendencies in a home environment. At the time of the assessment, Argyle is displaying friendly behavior. She interacts with the assessor and appreciates petting, but is sensitive to certain types of handling. Argyle is exhibiting behavior suited to average cat parents without small children who may not understand the cat’s sensitivities and warning signals.
