Walking to work about 10 min ago, I found a small female kitten, about 4-6 months old, black with white paws, whiskers and chest. She was wandering around the corner of Clarendon and Chandler St. in Boston's South End. I brought her to the Animal Rescue League (10 Chandler St., 617 426 9170 x120, www.arlboston.org). She is very skinny and very friendly and very scared. The Animal Rescue guy I spoke with (Will) said they have some kind of bad quarantine going on involving some kind of fatal and untreatable cat disease (I can't remember what he said...I'm too frazzled), and because of this they cannot hold the kitten...they have had to put down (kill) all their cats, and any new cats coming in will have to be put down in 1-2 days!

Anyway, if anyone lost this kitten, or wants to adopt, please contact the Animal Rescue League! I can't adopt her (I already have 3 cats). I will stop by and see her later today, and I'll post pictures then!). I'm gonna post fliers where - found her, too. She's being held under my name (John Lester).

Crazy...I'm walking to work and this kitten just runs up to me on the sidewalk and starts purring. I hope I can help find her owner or help her find a good home.
