Argh, it's the dreaded "kitten season" (cats that have not been spayed or neutered are breeding right now) and on top of that, Brunswick suddenly seems inundated with stray homeless cats. Everyone I know has taken in as many rescues as they can, myself included. I just don't know what to do about this. My neighbors and I speculate that perhaps there are more strays on the streets now because of the spate of home foreclosures and people having to move due to finances.

Anyway, the latest stray on Brunswick Street has been nicknamed "Smoky" by the neighbors. He is 100% gray and male, and by appearances it looks like he has NOT been neutered yet. Smoky is very loving and friendly so obviously he used to have a home. Are you missing a lovable gray male cat? If yes, send a message to annamatt at g mail dot com and I will try to locate Smoky for you--he is roaming outside near the post office. Smoky likes to lie in the middle of the road, and he is the same color as the road, so all of us are scared he might get hit by a car soon. We affixed a reflective collar onto him in the hopes it will save him. If you are Smoky's owner, please claim him quickly! There is another urgent matter: he has a golf-ball sized mass in his belly that might be a tumor, and it will need medical attention soon, no matter what it is. Smoky needs your help immediately.

If we can't find Smoky's owners soon, we're going to start looking for someone to adopt him.

Email me at "annamatt at gmail dot com" if this is your missing cat:

Male

Not yet neutered

Black and white

Medium hair

Looks to be about a few (under 6) months old

Weighs 10 pounds or less

No collar or tags

Found December 4

on the corner of Brunswick and Delaware Streets

A neighbor found a stray cat today and somehow the stray cat ended up with me for care while we seek out its owner, or owners. I don't have a photo to post yet but will do so as soon as I get home and recharge my camera batteries.

In the meantime, here's a description of the kitty:

• Black and white in color
• Medium hair
• Under 10 pounds in weight
• No collar or tags
• Seems to be a very young female (although we did not have enough time this morning for a close inspection, so we might be wrong)
• Cat was found near the corner of Delaware Street and Brunswick Street on December 4, 2007.

We plan to put up posters, canvas the neighborhood, and then take the cat to the vet for a microchip scan on Saturday if we cannot locate its owner before then. I do hope we find the owner because as much as I adore cats, I don't want to become The Cat Lady of Brunswick.
