From a reader:
"My partner and I found an obviously abandoned or lost housecat (had a collar on, box trained) at a construction site next to Bar 169 on East Broadway yesterday. We took her home as she was emaciated and needed some TLC."
"I feel empty inside" Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteEV Grievers, before your gentrification, I'd like you to join me for a ceremony that will make this battle station fully operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor Bloomberg now.
ReplyDeleteI hope the people who rescued the kitty can somehow keep it if the owners aren't found. The cat looks absolutely content and safe!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking in that lovely kitty! Have you been able to see if there's a microchip?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 4:25, what are you saying, that it's an alien cat? Or that someone is controlling its thoughts?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 8:46 PM: microchips are tiny (like a grain of rice) ID devices that are sometimes implanted into a cat or dog so the owner can be located in case the pet gets lost. Most veterinarians have a scanner these days to check in case the animal is chipped.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm the cat's foster parent. The cat has not been chipped, we took her to the vet and she's very healthy...and pregnant. Yeesh. Thank you all for your kind words of support. We love her (and have named her "Sylvia", after Sylvia Rivera), and so far it's looking like we're going to keep her...no owners have come out of the woodwork yet. This poor little girl looks like she might have been abused...either way, she was almost dead when we found her and we're so happy to have been there when she needed us. She's a beautiful lil' soul and a true EV survivor!!!
