New York has more than 13,000 bodegas. Many of them have cats.
They clear rodent problems and become part of the neighborhood.
We talked with Dan from Bodega Cats of New York about working cats, immigrant shop owners, and how documentation turned into policy change.

In 1956, a calico cat named Takeshi traveled to Antarctica with the first Japanese Antarctic observation team aboard the research ship Sōya.
As the expedition’s mascot, the crew believed Takeshi would help bring them home safely.
He did. The mission succeeded.

A critically endangered Eastern Bongo was just born in Texas, and he wasn’t carried by a Bongo. An Eland acted as the surrogate mom.
With fewer than 100 Eastern Bongos left in the wild, this kind of breakthrough could help keep the species alive.

A small 3-week old black kitten held up for a photo. It is in pretty good shape, just a little dirty from crawling around under the trailer.
And on and on and on it goes.
Got a message from another rescue that someone had a “4-week old” kitten under their trailer skirting, & it was crying all night. They weren’t able to catch it on their own (though they did try their best!) & were worried it was orphaned. Lil’ guy came right to me.

• Bush dog pups at Chester Zoo
• NYC’s bodega cats get their day
