Urban Fur: Eden Under The L.I.E.

As I noted yesterday I took a sojourn around Dutch Kills. My buddy at Newtown Pentacle had this to say:
Ain’t it grand?
Well, its own in a way, it is. Usually one thinks of this industrial part of our fair city as being totally bereft of nature. This is not true. There is flora and fauna to be found there— provided one knows where to look. I happened upon the above-depicted gaggle of geese ducks while crossing the Hunters Point Avenue Bridge. Further along the 51st Avenue I happened upon a couple of gardens in the least expected of places. Gardens whose groundskeepers seem to be of the feline variety. Enjoy!

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Help!
A lady named Laura writes:
Heya Miss Heather,
I was hoping you could reach out to the community of cat lovers, as there is a family of kittens that I found (not my colony) and older cats that need trapping.
I don’t live in the area anymore, but come back every other day to feed the Green street cats and now the kittens, which are on West between Green and Huron. I’ve posted signs for help from the west st residents but have had only 1 response. It’s very disheartening.
I am not trained in TNR (trap, neuter and release) and don’t own a vehicle so I am looking for someone who does. I will help in any way, money or otherwise. The situation is serious. Everytime I come to feed the cats, I see a new kitten. There are about 12 now.
Again the cats are on West street between Green and Huron, behind a blue construction wall.
Anyone wishing to lend Laura a hand (or would that be paw) should contact her via email at: Laura (dot) Molins (at) showtime (dot) net
Thanks!
