(a) Upon the impounding of any dog or cat, the Chief of Police or his or her duly appointed agent shall immediately make a complete registry thereof, entering the breed, color and sex of such dog or cat and whether or not the animal is licensed, if known. If the animal is licensed, the Chief or agent shall enter the name and address of the owner or keeper and the number of the license tag, if known, and if the animal is bearing an inoculation tag, the number of the tag shall be recorded. When impounded, licensed dogs and cats shall be kept separate from unlicensed dogs and cats.
