Lost and foundFOUND CAT: My wife heard this young cat crying in a storm drain this evening at 120 Elaine Dr.
“in Roswell and she helped it get out. It's been crying at our front door ever since. If you're missing a kitten or if you want one, shoot me a message. We would let it in, but we have two chocolate labs that would go nuts if a kitten came in the house. Nothing like a black cat showing up to the house on halloween! 🐈⬛”
