Adoptable Cutie: Meet Nellie

Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic 

I recently recieve a rather disturbing email form my friend Jay at Dog Habitat. He writes:

We also have a female gray young cat that was left in a basket. She’s still here and we will find her a home as soon as we get her checked out by a vet. She’s a clinger- attaches herself to people (literally) so safe bet she had a home but was dumped on our door step. We’ve rescued quite a few abandoned animals in the 11222. Dogs tied to fences or left in the dog park and cats soaking in their own urine after bring unceremoniously stuffed in boxes with air holes cut out. Not cool.

Naturally I had to see this lady— and the container she was left in (which can be seen at left)— for myself. Guess what?

She’s a cutie! Follows is a little footage of this lady while Jay tells her story. Enjoy!

Don’t let her seeming camera shyness fool you: this is one very sweet-natured and gentle gal. Anyone who is interested in giving this winsome lass the permanent, loving home she deserves should contact the folks at Dog Habitat via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org. Otherwise I will update this post once Nellie undergoes her check-up and (hopefully) gets a clean bill of health!

Paws crossed,

Greenpoint Photos Du Jour: The Last Of The Mohicans

Where do you start with something like this? Hell, where do you finish? All I am going to say is I wish I could transport this chap— headgear and all— to an actual Indian reservation (which are among the most miserable of places you can imagine) and get their take on his choice of apparel. I have a creeping suspicion it wouldn’t be very pretty.

P.S.: Is that Paul Stanley pumpkin I spy with my little eye?

Spotted On Manhattan Avenue: Larry!

It would appear he has chosen to stay with us… at least for the time being! The above photograph was taken this afternoon after Larry saw fit to torment some nearby pigeons. I can personally attest as a witness on the scene that they were totally asking for it.

New York Shitty Video Du Jour: Nora Likes Cake

Yesterday I swung by Muddy Paws to meet the latest batch of adoptable cuties North Brooklyn Cats has to offer. There were some real stunners. Including this beauty named Nora. This little lass found my pumpkin cake of particular interest— and I could not bring myself to deny her a taste. Enjoy!
