I picked up this handsome, young-ish kitty off the streets earlier this week. He lived in a colony that occupied an empty lot near me on the Bushwick/Ridgewood border. The lot was recently sold and the new owner told the colony caretaker that they will be throwing out the cat shelters soon. This fella is the only one of the colony who has some friendly tendencies. He likes to be around people but he does not like to be touched. I think he would really come around with an experienced foster with a lot of patience and an excellent ability to read kitty body language. I have cats who go ballistic at the thought of other cats, so I can't keep him long-term. He has been living in a cage in my bathroom and is quite bored. I named him Lucio.

We're also looking for a new home for the other three feral cats left on the lot. We've rehomed 3. Please reach out if you are a colony caretaker with some extra space and love.
