Is This Your Cat? A Concerned BHB Reader Wants To Know
This dispatch from a BHB reader on Clinton Street:
There was a dead cat in a tree bed last weekend and I photographed the poor thing as I walked by (I also called 311 to remove). I am haunted by the idea that someone is missing their pet and will never know its fate. If I send on the photo can you get the word out on this?
The cat was on Pierrepont Street + Clinton, just across from the school.
Contact us if this is your cat or you know its identity.
