Happy Ending (So Far)

A reader's post in the previous comments section alerted me to a place called Lincoln Square Veterinary Hospital. The website is here. After checking to be sure it has a no-kill policy, I went to pick up the kitten this afternoon. She was in the exact same place on the sidewalk. I gave her some food and water, put her in a duffel bag and took her to the vet. The place is large, very clean, and well-run. She hopped out of the bag, started purring loudly, and rolled around on the exam room floor. Here she is between rolls (that's street grime on her stomach and right arm, not grey fur):


I've known lots of cats, and she might be the most affectionate. The staff was amazed by her as well.

They'll give her the appropriate medical care, then make her available for adoption. That's where you come in. If you're in the area, call Tara at 212-712-9600. Ask about the female kitten with the gash on her nose and piece of neck fur missing that a sweaty, unshaven guy brought in Saturday afternoon. Then go take a look.
