*SAFE * 05/12/15- VOLUNTEER WRITES:
A Staff Member Writes: Randolph the great they call him. Legends of his heroic deeds and tales bounce through the halls of our Manhattan Care Center. This handsome older fella is wise beyond his 9 years. He stands tall and regally watches the cat room like a king on his throne. He was surrendered by his previous owner for conquering their furniture; however, he’s just looking for a special scratching post to call his very own.
A volunteer writes: Randolph is a handsome boy – mostly white, with two black gray spots on his head, and on his back, and big yellow eyes. He is loving and affectionate, ready for attention and some petting! He will make a great companion to a loving family!

He also likes to spend time on his owner’s bed looking out the window. He likes to play with balls, catnip toys, and stuffed toys and plays gently with people.

BEHAVIOR
Randy scratches the leather couch and cardboard boxes. He had vertical and horizontal scratching posts and didn’t use them. He tolerates being brushed and put in a carrier but doesn’t enjoy it. He doesn’t mind being woken up. He cries in the car.
INTAKE
Randy had a relaxed body and walked and looked around on the counter during handling-scan (negative), collar, petting, pictures, taking in and out of carrier.
