    CAT FOUND IN FREEZING COLD NEAR COLUMBUS AVENUE

    lost cat

    A reader says she found this cat outside of Dive 75 on 75th street near Columbus Avenue on Monday night around 10 p.m. Does anyone know whose cat this is? And why the hell they left it outside? (perhaps it ran away?)

    Let us know and we’ll put you in touch.

    So glad they were able to catch that cat. My idiot neighbors have a few cats and they leave their ‘doggie’ door open all the time & the cats come and go and spend most of their time crying outside of our garden door. Awful people.
    This does not look like one of theirs.

    Since you’re so generous as to what this cat needs, why don’t you volunteer to spend half your day at the vet and a shelter? Or is it you just feel so darn good about yourself when you tell others how to spend their time on your causes?

    This super sweet boy is not microchipped and has no infectious diseases. They approximate that he is 2 years old. I took him to the vet tonight! He is up for adoption and you’ll be able to see his adorable picture on City Vet Care’s Facebook page tomorrow!

    Thank you Debbie for stepping up and doing the right thing. This little kitty will find a good home now (and hopefully one that won’t let him wander away). Good karma (maybe kitty karma if you need) coming your way.

    Why not try to put flyers up in the area the cat was found first to see if the owner comes forward. I’m surprised the cat is already up for adoption without giving a chance for the owner to find it.

    If someone left/forgot their cat out like that…they don’t love their cat..or has alzehiemrs…either way..they shouldn’t be allowed to be responsible for animals or children.

    Antoinette: I searched as many lost pet websites as exist. I scoured Facebook. I called all local vets. NO ONE is looking for this poor kitty. He was definitely outside for quite some time and deserves a loving home. Neighbors near where he was found report having heard him cry for days (awful to even think of that).

    This is so sad! We live above Dive 75 and heard a cat meowing at night probably starting mid to late last week. We went out and looked for it but couldn’t see anything. Glad someone found it.

    Awesome to save this cat. Poor thing definitely would have had trouble staying warm with your help. I do wonder if putting up fliers could help united the cat. It is obvious that she was well cared for and loved. Many older folks do not use Facebook or internet-based Lost/Found sites and rely on old skool methods to find lost pets.

    Thank you Debbie! You showed kindness, compassion and, most likely, saved a life. Your actions are appreciated.

    Anjellice is AMAZING!!!!!! They will only take in a stray if they have a foster for it, however. Thankfully this super sweet boy has a warm, caring home to stay in for the next week, and several people are helping network for him.
