It’s your brother’s cat now! He’s done a good thing - probably a stray or abandoned.

That poor baby. Your brother is an angel that earned big karma points for rescuing. There are many cat rescues in the city and boroughs if he needs help with bills or getting it adopted if he doesn’t want to keep it. They can be found through FB and Nextdoor cat lovers groups.

There are already an insane number of cats in Brooklyn alone. Tons of them die on the street every year. Local TNR groups can't keep up.
I don't think more cats is the answer to the rat problem. The answer is better garbage disposal.

Dude somebody abandoned a cat on the A train too the other day. My dad walked into work and it was chillin in a carrier in the tower. Needless to say my dad played with a cat before driving the train. Sounds like a good day to me

True. Garbage disposal is still stuck in the 60’s. In morocco the locals usually feed the cats and treat them with respect and the cats reciprocate by keeping the place clean.

> Other passengers were feeding it chicken
I'm not sure why exactly, but this made me chuckle. I guess just the thought of someone pulling out a chicken wing from their takeout bag and handing it to a kitten.

paisleycatperson t1_j3rts89 wrote
Cats and rats both eat trash, that's why rich neighborhoods with street cleaners or people who are paid to containerize trash do not have feral cats. Cats don't actually hunt rats, either. A cat colony will passively deter rats, meaning, they will displace rats one house over, that's it, the real issue is trash.
QuiteMad t1_j3ru1p3 wrote
You are a very kind hearted person! Kitty looks to be a little sick, the vet might recommend some antibiotics.
As the cat starts to feel better, it will go explore the apartment more! And probably follow you around and keep you company.

Oh he’s keeping her if she isn’t chipped. Our whole family has only had pets that were strays or in other situations where they needed a home. I just had to put down my 15 year old dog, my dying neighbor asked me to take him when he was 7. This cat found the right people. We already love her.

Cats are essentially an invasive species, and kill billions of birds each year. I'm not suggesting we go out and kill cats, but we also should absolutely be trying to reduce the number of outdoor cats (both feral and domesticated).

I have an established protocol for these types of situations. Rookies go upstairs to quarantine.
I’m on my 5th &6th. First was twenty odd years ago. These ones are littermates, little michio pa here just got down from ontop of my head…
She’s obsessed with my hoodies cause they have drawstrings and they’re thick enough that she can use her claws to balance without killing me… And once she started going up on the tops of doors and whatnot, the only way I’d get her down is if I just stood there with my hood up and my arms bent for her to hop down onto.
My third just wandered in off the street when I was out on the stoop, kept coming back even in the winter. Fourth was a friends’, had her retirement here.

My brother got on a queens bound M train at 23rd Ely Ave yesterday evening around 5:10pm. He thinks the cat was already on the train. Other passengers were feeding it chicken and my brother gave it water. He scooped her up in and put it in his book bag. The cat is very sweet and friendly. No collar. He intends to clean the cat up tonight and find out if it’s a boy or girl. He’s also going to take it to the vet next Monday to see if it’s chipped.
