A stray cat leaned into a kind person and stole her heart after a month of trying to keep warm with whatever he could find. Charlie DreamCloudElizabethEva of Whiskers-A-GoGo‚ a Brooklyn cat rescue‚ received a plea for help from a concerned community member‚ Elizabeth‚ about an abandoned cat in front of her building."This very sweet cat stays huddled down to the ground near the trash area. My neighbor says [he] has been outside in the cold for about a month‚" Elizabeth shared in the email. "I sense [he] desperately wants love and snuggles."While living outside‚ the cat used whatever he could to stay warm. He was sweet and gentle‚ quietly trying to survive each day. He was found abandoned in an apartment complexElizabethElizabeth wasn't able to take the cat home due to a family member being severely allergic‚ but she couldn't leave the cat out there without help.With detailed information‚ including the cat's whereabouts‚ timing‚ and disposition‚ Eva contacted her friend‚ Dina‚ an experienced animal rescuer who lives about two blocks away. He was very sweet and gentleElizabeth"The building is a large apartment complex and had massive piles of trash bags and other junk in front of it‚" Dina told Love Meow.Upon arrival‚ she noticed a paper plate and a towel someone had left for the cat‚ but he was nowhere in sight. Dina opened a can of food‚ hoping to lure him close‚ but to no avail. She left the food there and contacted Elizabeth. ElizabethAbout two hours later‚ Dina received a message from Elizabeth with a photo of the cat sleeping snugly inside a discarded old mattress."I went back with a cat carrier and saw him eating the food I had put out earlier. I said hi to him. He meowed and then ran to the curb away from me." He slept in a discarded mattressElizabethDina slowly approached him‚ got down to his level‚ and offered her hand. The cat relaxed his guard‚ scooted towards her‚ and allowed touch.He was lovingly named Charlie DreamCloud (the mattress) and left the streets for good that day. "Little did he know he missed a torrential rain‚ and even his blue mattress wouldn't protect him if he were still outside‚" Eva added. DinaThe plan was to have Charlie stay with Dina temporarily until Eva secured a foster home for him‚ or so they thought."When Charlie was first brought home‚ he was visibly relieved to be indoors again‚" Dina said. "He settled in very quickly. He's an older gentleman‚ estimated to be around 7 or 8 years old. He's very friendly‚ talkative‚ and loves pets and cuddles." He's snuggly‚ talkative‚ and easy-goingDinaA few days later‚ Eva went to pick up Charlie. As Dina handed him over‚ a bittersweet feeling washed over her. She offered to take him back anytime he needed a place to stay.After a vet visit‚ Charlie required more tests‚ but there wasn't any opening at the vet's office until the following week. Dina jumped at the chance to help. Whiskers-A-GoGo"Dina fell in love with him and kept asking and offering to take him to her vet sooner‚ so we brought him back to her‚" Eva told Love Meow.The second Charlie stepped out of his carrier‚ Dina knew he was home. "Eva was going to find a foster for him since I already have a lot of cats‚ but it only seemed right for him to just stay here‚" Dina shared. Charlie has found his forever home with his rescuerDinaCharlie is being treated for a heart murmur and hypertension. "I brought him a little kitty blood pressure cuff to monitor his BP."The sweet boy spends most of his day sleeping on the comfy couch. When he wakes up‚ he leans into Dina for snuggles. He's found his forever home with his rescuer. DinaNow‚ Charlie shares the bed with his mom and makes the cutest biscuits every day with the most dreamy look on his face.

San Francisco Creates a New Planter Permit

The tax-funded PBS weekly political roundtable Washington Week with The Atlantic continued to provide support for the Democratic candidate during the runup to the November election‚ tempting fate and more after-the-fact embarrassment by again defending Joe Biden’s mental acuity and vigor‚ even attacking Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report again. Host and Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg was joined by his Atlantic colleagues Adam Harris and Mark Leibovich‚ along with CNN senior political analyst Nia Malika Henderson and Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason. Jeffrey Goldberg: Let's go to the finances‚ and Jeff‚ you have been traveling all week with Joe Biden. He’s -- you just got here‚ actually‚ from endless flying around the country with Joe Biden. He’s doing very well in the fundraising. And it’s a superficial contrast‚ but $26 million and Radio City Music Hall with Presidents Obama and Clinton versus selling sneakers and the Bible. Is Trump in trouble on the fundraising compared to Joe Biden? No more liberal media qualms about bigtime fundraising or calls for campaign finance reform (remember campaign finance reform?) Jeff Mason was perhaps most enthusiastic for Biden‚ rejecting host Goldberg's relatively hesitant take on Biden's new vigor. Jeff Mason: Well‚ [Trump]’s certainly struggling compared to Joe Biden when it comes to fundraising‚ and it is a measure of your campaign`s health. And I think that sign of fundraising strength was something that Obama wanted to help Biden with and Clinton wanted to help Biden with. But‚ in general‚ the Biden campaign wanted to say‚ we have enthusiasm and look‚ here it is in the numbers. And President Biden is saying a lot in some of his fundraisers now that he’s seeing a turn in polling. He walks out and says‚ I feel the enthusiasm‚ and this is Exhibit A. The enthusiasm is manifesting and having a pretty strong set of numbers. Goldberg: It’s a little bit too early to talk about a turn in polling‚ no? Mason: Well‚ I mean‚ it`s post-State of the Union‚ right? So‚ the State of the Union -- I think the campaign will probably go back and look at his fiery State of the Union Address as being a turning point. And we’ll see how long that lasts. Goldberg: Fiery as a relative concept. Mason: Yes‚ but robust‚ right? I mean‚ he came out swinging‚ and it came after a period of time when he had been taking a lot of hits for his age. The special counsel report came out‚ and he‚ I think‚ tried to put some of that to bed with that speech. And he`s seeing‚ at least the way they describe it‚ an enthusiasm-sort-of-upturn as a result. Nia-Malika Henderson saw “a bit of momentum in some of these swing states‚ particularly Michigan‚ Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.” Or‚ perhaps not? The New York Times political analyst Nate Cohn summarized recent polling data under the subhead “No shift after State of the Union.” After Mark Leibovich and his colleague Goldberg mocked Dean Phillips‚ Biden’s would-be Democratic primary rival‚ and suggested he wasn’t worthy of news coverage‚ Goldberg switched to defending Biden. Goldberg: …And then he comes out at the State of the Union and is peppy. Mason: And in addition to that State of the Union‚ there was also the transcript of the interview with the special counsel‚ which turned out not to be as damning in terms of his memory as the report suggested that it was. And so I think there`s that and there’s the perhaps false advertising that you’re referring to by some Republicans that is just not entirely bearing out. That doesn`t mean age isn`t still going to be a weakness for President Biden…. Goldberg: So‚ you’ve been following him all week on the trail. Give us your firsthand impressions of his energy level‚ cogency‚ enthusiasm. Mason went on an extended gush (click “Expand.”) Mason: Enthusiasm‚ very high‚ energy‚ very high‚ cogency‚ pretty good. I mean‚ he’s -- the truth is Joe Biden has good days and bad days. We all do‚ right? But his -- at his fundraisers‚ he’s trying out some new lines. One of the recent ones that I was at‚ one of his aides came up to me and a couple other traveling reporters right before he started speaking and said‚ pay attention. He’s got a new riff tonight. And his new riff‚ ladies and gentlemen at the table‚ was to talk about President Trump saying‚ are you better off than you were four years ago? And Biden says‚ “I’m glad you asked that‚ man‚” and then starts going into a comparison of how things are now compared to March of 2020‚ when COVID was in full swing and hospitals were struggling and the economy was cratering. So‚ that was the new riff‚ but it is sort of a sign that they’re pumping up his campaign speeches. And he seems energetic and he seems enthused.
