Yesterday we were sent this photo of a flyer displaying a lost kitten named Carlo, a 5-month-old tabby that the firefighters on East 85th Street had taken in. It's believed the kitten ran off when the firefighters got an emergency call on Saturday night, after which time they put up flyers around the neighborhood (with the assistance of Anjellicle Cats) asking for their new feline friend to be returned. And their plan worked: Carlo is back in the firehouse!
When we heard the news (we're told he was returned by a neighborhood woman who had found him and later saw the signs), we headed up to the firehouse to talk to the FDNY there, and of course, photograph them with the kitten... but we were denied access. The firefighters on hand said they were told not to discuss the cat anymore. We've contacted Anjellicle Cats, and Barbara Langlois there sent along this below video of the firefighters first meeting Carlo back in February.
As we mentioned yesterday, these firefighters have a history of cats in the house, with their longtime pet Murray dying in 2005 (there's a plaque outside the station house).
