Terrified cat loose on baseball field

This is the link to that quote. It's all I could find.

Thanks Moe. I found an article about feral cats living at Shea stadium too after I posted and learned about a TNR organization called Neighborhood Cats who were trying to get cats relocated to Citi Field because they were already feral and would help keep the rodent population down there. I was really surprised to read that as I can't imagine that it would be a very good life living amongst bleachers and all those people come game time. But I guess the life of a feral isn't that great wherever they live unless it's in a barn with good shelter and lots of food.

Before I read that though, I called the Queens N.Y. ASPCA and asked them if the cat had been picked up by them. The guy that answered sounded as if he'd received the question a couple of times already and said "yessssss maam, the cat was picked up". I asked him if the ASPCA picked it up and he said no and that he thought the Queens Animal Control had picked it up. He didn't sound too sure and I sort of thought he was just telling me what I wanted to hear. I got the number for the Queens Animal Control and left a message and also emailed them. I don't really expect to hear back from them. And it does seem that it was probably a feral cat after all.

Oh the poor kitty! Feral cats lead less than ideal lives, that's for sure, and you would know that better than most now, Lara, w/the TNR work that you've started. I guess they hang around there because there's lots of food that hits the ground, poor babies. I sure hope that this orangie is safe. How sad.

There are many feral Cats in the MLB Ball Parks , who scavenge the discarded Ball Park Food.

Thanks Deb! What a kind thing to say. I sure appreciate it since the people I told at work about it basically think I'm nuts for calling New York about a cat. lol Got some eye rolliing and "are you serious?" They don't get me and that's okay.
p.s. Thank you Mary and Gary for seconding and thirding.

I roll my eyes at people who DON'T care about feral cats. Where are their hearts? We know yours is in the right place!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I agree with you all the way!! Seeing the fright in that cat, and the people laughing about it, it makes me feel so sick... Poor poor kitty!!

I fifth it. Your compassion cannot be matched. That's why we all love you so.

One more of many reasons that I don't like baseball. At lest the NASCAR drivers love dogs and cats and are willing to help. This includes raising money for dog and cat rescue. The fans are also backing these efforts.
