Neighbor Margie is looking for a foster home for her kitten Perry:
“In early January, during our first cold spell, I rescued a mother and 3 kittens from under a porch on 49th St. The mother and two of the kittens are in stable situations (one kitten is adopted, another possibly adopted).
Unfortunately, the third kitten, Perry, has a mild physical condition that requires some extra care. He has been with a cat rescue friend the last two weeks (while I was away), but she can’t keep him past tomorrow. I really can’t have him back in my place! My old cats (19 and 14 years old) won’t tolerate him. They are so glad that I’m back, and are spending a lot of time with me. I’d hate to lock them out of the office (I work at home). Also, it’s very hard for me to work with Perry in the office and he only wants to play; I really don’t have anywhere else he could be.
Would you consider fostering Perry? It would only likely be for a couple of weeks. He would love to have a cat(s) to play with, and he is okay with dogs. He behaves totally normal and has lots of energy. He is a purr machine! He needs to have his butt wiped twice a day, and should eat soft canned food mixed with water and fish oil (which I would provide) to keep his stools loose, and can’t use clay litter. He has been neutered and had his first round of shots. Would anyone here like to have adorable Perry in their lives for a short while? I would SOOO appreciate it.”
If you would like to foster Perry, please contact Margie at: margie [at] mpolitzer.com or 267 275 7010.

thanks margie for your continued love for cats and the work that purrs/pours out from this.

Is he missing? I fed a cat like this yesterday at my home (409 S 42nd St.) and he seemed to be lost or something.

Bzfgt: No, the above kitten isn’t missing, but there is a missing cat who looks similar, and comes from near your home. Here is the Craig’s list posting:

bzfgt: The kitten above is not missing, but there is a similar-looking cat missing from near your home. There is a Craig’s list post from 2/25 and the cat’s name is Claws. (I can’t seem to post the URL here.)

Oops. I guess I didn’t wait long enough for the first post to show up. The URL does appear in the first post.

Claws is safely at home.
Friendly little bugger.
thanks for posting about him. I wouldn’t have had any idea who to call if I hadn’t seen your post, Margie.

Yay! I’m so glad that Claws is home!

I am too, and, honestly, it is time to get this kitty neutered and microchipped !!!
Also a good idea for kitties (whether indoor-outdoor or indoor-only) to wear a safety collar and tag!
Toooo many pets go missing and never get found by/returned to their owners. 🙁

He was following my cat around, which was pretty funny as my cat wanted nothing to do with him. It was dead obvious to my wife & I that he was someone’s cat. Thanks again for posting the info.

hi goldenmonkey,
if you ever encounter other friendly strays/poss. lost cats, post them here and check both Pets and Lost & Found sections on craigslist.com. checking for flyers and posting flyers is also quite helpful. Claws is certainly a very lucky kitty! 🙂

great ideas! Thanks!

Cool, I hope that was the same cat. He was whining and yelling outside, I let him in and fed him and he seemed ravenously hungry. My cats of course despised him so I put him back out to see if he’d figure things out…
