UPDATE, 7:07 p.m.: Here’s a(nother) shot of Greenpoint’s beloved bodega cat, Larry!
As you can see he is loved by his co-worker, Neer.

Oreo has come a long way since I have last written about him. Not only has he been neutered but now he sports a clean bill of health and keeps a careful watch over his place of business and pleasure: Pets on the Run!
Anyone interested in adopting this handsome (and hard-working) gent should swing by and talk to Zohar or Malik.

A Very Special Valentine’s Day Wish

This item comes courtesy of a fellow Greenpointer and cat lady named Rebecca. She writes:
i’m a fellow greenpoint resident and i believe we both have the acquaintance of the wonderful lisacat. i was wondering if you might be able to give jay jay the cat some press on your blog? jay jay and i would both appreciate your help! he is a somewhat shy but sweet black cat who was unfortunately left mostly blind due to untreated eye infections. he was rescued from the NYC animal care and control almost a year ago and we’re hoping he can find a real home of his own soon.
Jay Jay is a two year old male shorthair who was rescued from the euthanization list at Animal Care & Control. While blind this chap is an otherwise happy, healthy (READ: FIV and feline leukemia-free), loving and playful fella who would very much like to be someone’s Valentine this year. Maybe yours? Anyone interested in learning more about Jay Jay should contact Rebecca via email at: adoptjayjay (at) gmail (dot) com
Thanks!

Urban Fur: Brother, Can You Spare A Slice?
This is one of the fucking cutest things I have ever seen. Can you blame this pup for wanting a piece of some the best damned pizza in north Brooklyn? Try their “Famous Grandpa” slice sometime and you too will become a believer!

New York Shitty Day Starter: F*ck Football, Give Me Pussy!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Today is one of my favorite days of the year: Super Bowl Sunday. No, I’m not preparing copious amounts of crap food and securing large quantities of beer to consume while “watching the game”. I like Super Bowl Sunday because a great many people are engaged in the aforementioned activities and I can walk the streets of my fair neighborhood in solitude. I like my “alone time”.
I also like cats. If you like cats and don’t particularly care about football why not swing by PS9 tomorrow and meet a few of north Brooklyn’s finest felines?
Today from 12:30 – 5:30 p.m. Greenpoint’s very own Empty Cages Collective will be hosting an adoption event there!

In closing, last night I had the pleasure of accompanying a good buddy of mine to meet a trio of very winsome Bronx kittens who were rescued from a kill shelter on New Year’s Eve.
Meet Taittinger…
and his brother Dom. As you can see it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between them!
They are very curious kittens…
and for this reason they, along with their sis Cristal (as seen above), were almost impossible to film!
Especially when she claimed my Kittycam as her own!
Until Taittinger took an interest in a bowl of pistachios. The Mister encouraged this behavior (hey, for once he wasn’t encouraging cats to trash our living room) and well, the rest is what it is…
Faster pussycat! Kill! Kill!
Anyone interested in adopting Dom, Tate or Cristal should contact the ladies of North Brooklyn Cats via flickr by clicking here and/or here.

Adoptable Cuties: Meet Annie, Oliver & Nicole
Filed under: 11222, Crazy Cat Lady, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
Today was a trying one for yours truly. The general pattern (if in fact there was one) seemed to be people trying to get on my nerves. A number of them succeeded in this endeavor beyond their wildest expectations. This is no small achievement. Inasmuch as I talk a good game the fact of the matter is I am a peace-loving individual. Life (READ: being a former civil servant) has taught me patience— even if it is derived from the “give them enough rope” school of thought— is a virtue. It is for the aforementioned reason that after receiving a salvo of abuse from a particularly nasty individual I was amused when she tried to storm out of the junk shop in a self-righteous huff —only to discover she couldn’t figure out how to open the door. It is such small vindications in life that make it worth living.
Another thing that makes yours truly’s life tolerable on days such as this are fur kids. Now that I think about it I have one that has mastered the art of opening doors. Perhaps he could give the aforementioned person some pointers? But I digress. Needless to say after the previous fiasco I was very excited to swing by Dog Habitat and make the acquaintance of some lovely adoptable cuties in need of loving, permanent homes. Who cannot help but smile when meeting Annie, Oliver and Nicole? As you will see!
ANNIE & OLIVER
These two 17 weeks old Shih Tzus were recently turned over to Dog Habitat because their owner lost his job and experienced a family emergency. In other words, he was not in a position to take care of them and elected to do the right— if emotionally painful— thing: place them for adoption. It was “nap time” when I swung by today so Annie and Oliver were in rather subdued (but very cute) form. Here’s a video of them in (in)action while Jay tells us their story.
NICOLE
Conversely, this young (1 year old-ish) lass was very eager to get out of her (admittedly luxe) accommodations and get some lovins! I’ll let Jay take it from here.
Anyone interested in making the acquaintance of Annie, Oliver, Nicole or any of the other lovely, loving companions* Dog Habitat has for adoption should contact them via telephone at (347) 601-8678 or via email at: rescue (at) doghabitat (dot) org. In closing, I’d like to mention that next week the guys (and ladies) of Dog Habitat/Unleash Brooklyn will be having a fundraiser with a distinctly Valentine’s Day twist:
Check it out!

As you can see Waldemar has not only winterized his shelter for the local ferals, but he did so with his own hallmark style! How could we possibly expect anything less?
