A stray kitten that spent a year recuperating with an animal rescue group after getting plucked from the streets of a flood-ravaged section of Brooklyn has finally been adopted — by a fellow Superstorm Sandy refugee.
The little gray and white cat, named Joy, was the last of nearly 300 stray and displaced pets that wound up in an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter after the storm.

Cute cat and I hope the adopter, Robert Curran, gets his business back! He’s doing the right thing.

I’m glad PETA didn’t have possession otherwise they would have all been put to sleep.
Pets are good medicine.
Thanks for posting.
This was on my mind last year. I wasn’t hit too hard by Sandy but I was with Irene. I had my kitty microchipped after that in case we got separated. I hated to do it but I feared if she got out and ended up at a kill shelter it would save her life
Fortunately she’s never had to use it. It would have broken my heart if she had gone missing
All mine are chipped too. Thumbs up!
