Happy Tail: Lola’s Story

Lola among Alex's guitars

Little Lola was rescued from a very cruel situation in 2021. She was a sick little kitten who was locked up for months in a filthy basement with no light or fresh air at a store with the intent of being made into a mouser when she grew up. She didn’t have any other kittens to play with and the rat poison in the store made her even more sick. At times she was locked up in a cage for days.

She was finally rescued by Park Slope Cats’ founder, who took the emaciated and sad, lonely kitty and got her vet care. Park Slope resident guitarist Alex Skolnick was asked to foster her temporarily… Lola turned out to be a foster-fail.

She is hands-down one of THE most affectionate kitties ever who loves her daddy and his music. A happy tale for a Park Slope Kitty


Happy Tail: Moustachio. Adopted into a loving home now (that overlooks Central Park no less), this handsome fellow was scrounging for food, and found emaciated and sick and on the At Risk list before being taken out. It didn’t end there though and he faced more hardship till he was lovingly nursed back to health by Park Slope Cats’ coordinator Jean. Due to his years outside, and having to subsist by eating leftover human food in the garbage, Moustachio developed a sensitive stomach. But thanks to her, he slowly got better.

You cannot stop smiling when you see the promo video that Maddy made for him which brought him applications from far and wide 🙂 Moustachio is also a poster boy for #Movember highlighting men’s health issues.
