Right? I spotted this in my Twitter feed from @EcoPup and @MinPinRescue.

Uh, oh...Found a Kitten...
...and took it home. It leapt across my path Tuesday night to play in some ivy at the base of a tree plotted in a sidewalk in between Broadway and Amsterdam at W. 104th. I stopped, turned, and looked at a woman standing behind me who had also stopped. We looked at each other, and that was it. I bent down and scooped up the kitty after it fearlessly sniffed my hand.
Gerdy and I walked back the scene later and taped signs all over the area, but no one has called. The kitten is litter box trained, and knows all of the good things that come out of the kitchen and from a can of food. And he loves the sparkly tail on the FashionMista.
But, Dinah and I had a talk, and she told me that she'd like to be the only queen of the house.
Plus, I think this little thing is a guy kitten, and I've temporarily named him Jazper, because he's got a lot of pizzaz and thinks he's already a prince around the house, challenging everyone to swatting duels.
Gerdy just stares at him when he does it, and Dinah is not amused.
So...I'm looking for a good NYC home for Jazper! Write back if interested! Or comment!
But look out...he/she is a bit crazy...

NYC Pups and Kitties Need You
I'm writing this post on the subway ride home from work because there is just not enough time in the day. I'm dimming the screen so that people next to me can't evesread (stop reading, mister!).
On Thursday, our free daily paper, AM New York, did a front page story on the van that the local animal group, the Mayor's Alliance, drives around the city to pick up stray animals and animals from the pound to deliver them to foster families. This van picks up any animal that needs a ride, including a sheep that was dropped in Sheeps Meadow in Central Park with its legs tied up just the other day.
This van runs on an allotted budget as an initiative for the Mayor's Alliance. The rising price of gas was not factored into this budget, so ...
(...wait...transferring trains...to the 7....long walk down the time square terminal...to the C platform...onto the C...fight for a seat...got it!)
...the van initiative has to cut back how much it drives. This means that they would take fewer animals from the ACC (city pound) to foster families that have good temperaments and have better chances of getting adopted. The ACC takes in hundreds of thousands of stray animals including dogs, cats, iguanas, and bunnies, and euthanizes an animal after 3 days. The ACC has a 53% kill rate. The Mayor's Alliance tries to keep the stays from going there.
After reading, I was wishing I had a bunch of money I could just donate. Then in Friday's AM New York, the cover story was that the ASPCA donated $10,000! They're calling on others to match the donation by July 31st. I know many of you already donate to the ASPCA, or hang out with abused boxers rescued from fighting rings, but this is a little donation for an exact cause.
My subway stop is approaching. But remember, fix your pups and kittens. There's lots more cute ones in the pounds!
