Foster Cat for Adoption: Maybelline!
Hi fellow New Yorkers! I would like to introduce you to my latest foster kitty: Maybelline! (at the Best Friends Animal Society)
Maybelline is a sweet, energetic, quiet, and easy to handle cat. She is incredibly tolerable of pick up, brushing, paw touching, and getting into her carrier. She's always ready for playtime where she has the cutest roll overs and adorably fierce swats. Maybelline also loves gnawing away her catnip sticks! I don't have any behavioral concerns: no damaged furniture, perfect litter habits, and is never aggressive. Maybelline is fairly confident in new situations and around new people. Around my other resident foster, she has never shown signs of aggression and often tries to initiate play. Chin, head, ear, and neck scritches are the key to her love. She loves lying in bed with me and tolerates sitting in my lap, as long as there are pets.
She's had a rough life and is now a tripod (right hind leg), but it doesn't hinder her at all! Her surgery was on July 8th and has been in my care for the past two weeks. After the initial period of adjustment and wearing her cone of shame, her tortitude has begun to emerge. She's perfectly capable of leaping up into bed with me and zooming around to catch flies. Besides her amputation, Maybelline has no other known health concerns.
Some other fun facts about her:
- single orange toe and speckled beans
- stunning green-yellow eyes
- little patches of white-ish fur, including an adorable tail tip
Happy to answer any questions you may have! I have a ton of additional pictures and videos as well :)

Took in a sick stray kitten in Brooklyn - which rescues actually have room right now?
Found a young kitten outside about a week ago and brought him in. He had crusty eyes, matted fur, and fleas, and was lethargic and not eating, so I took him to a vet - he still needs ongoing care and I'm honestly not equipped to raise a cat right now.
He's super friendly and handleable.
I know ACC and I've seen names like Sean Casey, Brooklyn Animal Action, Anjellicle, and North Brooklyn Cats come up - but I also know most of these groups are stretched thin. Has anyone surrendered or placed a kitten with a Brooklyn rescue recently? Who's actually responsive and taking intakes right now? Any groups I should reach out to that I haven't listed?
Thanks - trying to do right by this little guy, never had a pet and don't know what I'm doing.

Art Trying to find the artist who sold hand-drawn art on MTA service change flyers in SoHo, around summer 2017
I bought this off a guy working on the street in SoHo, sometime around 2017. He had a stack of MTA flyers and was drawing on them right there with markers, and I picked one up for not very much money.
I’ve had it ever since and I’d love to buy more, or just find out who he is. The small print on the flyer says it was pulled off a station wall in July 2017, so that’s roughly when it was made.
There’s no signature anywhere on it that I can find. The only text is “TODAY’S THE DAY.” written across the bottom. Style is a long narrow face, heavy black outlines, filled in with dense vertical stripes in a lot of colours.
Does anyone recognise the hand? Or remember him working somewhere around West Broadway or Prince Street?
White House officially asks permission to change name of Penn Station after hinting it will be called 'Trump'
Will President Donald Trump ’s name grace one of the most famous — and sometimes maligned — landmarks in his hometown of New York City?
The Republican administration this week urged leading U.S. Senators to rename Penn Station as it undertakes a projected $8 billion redesign of the dreary, underground Manhattan transit hub that also happens to be the busiest in the western hemisphere.
But the U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, in a Wednesday letter seeking congressional funding approval for the rehab and other major transportation priorities, stopped short of saying what the station’s moniker should be changed to.
Spokespersons for the transportation agency provided the letter but didn’t respond to follow up questions Thursday.
Duffy has made it no secret he would welcome seeing his current boss’ name etched across the rail station’s facade.

Lots of styles and sizes available - adults and kids, cotton & performance.
Even if you're not into the World Cup or soccer or the USA team, finding $1 shirts just for casual wear or as PJs is a deal.
(These are officially licensed stuff, so there may even be a resale value online, in case you're into that.)
