Hi Heather.. wanted to see if you can help us spread the word for our Dia De Los Muertos/2 yr. anniversary/City Harvest canned food drive. Its on Nov 1st. from 5 til 930. free beer. free tattoos* w/a purchase of a brewed to order coffee. (our sugar skull* must tip artist.) It should be fun. Maybe you can join us. If not maybe you can help us get the word out. Thanks any help is big help. We want to hit our goal of 200 lbs of food this year.
As it would happen I hit the Beaner Bar’s 1st Anniversary fiesta last year. It was a lot fun. I especially enjoyed the mariachi music. My tip for teetotalers: get their hot chocolate. It’s among the best to be had in Greenburg!

As I mentioned previously, there are a number of food drives going on right now. For those of you who are less inclined towards the living dead (or simply live nearby) you can leave donations of canned goods at M. De Vito Paint & Wallcovering.

Anna (who sent me the above photograph) writes:
I found the sweetest female tabby, appx. 7 months old, in Bushwick near the Morgan L stop on Sunday night. I have done everything to locate a possible owner, to no avail. I already have two cats and cannot take a third. She seems really healthy, but I also cannot afford to give her any medical care right now (blood tests, spaying, etc). I’ve tried to contact the no-kill shelters in the area, but they are either full or won’t return my calls and emails. She is presently being housed in my bathroom, but I would love to find her a real home or at least just a foster home for now. Can you either post this to your website or give me some suggestions on what to do? I’ve posted flyers, posted on craigslist, posted on facebook, posted on a few online databases, called Animal Care and Control, and don’t know what else to do.
If anyone knows who this little lady belongs to or would like to provide her a temporary— or better yet: permanent— home, please shoot Anna an email at: anna (dot) franklin (at) gmail (dot) com
Thanks!

To close on a (somewhat) related note, I have been noticing a lot of graffiti featuring feline subject matter hereabouts lately. Without further ado, here they are!
Nassau Avenue
Union Avenue
Could this be the start of a trend? I can only hope so. Cattitude!

P.S.: I have also gotten word that Dog Habitat has a new feline in residence. Jay writes:
Had a surprise waiting at the door early one morning. A kitten in a basket. Dropped off some time before 6:30 a.m. Young and friendly. Grey with what could be a broken tail.
Naturally I intend to meet (and film) this little guy (or girl)— STAT!
