Great Neck employee now the cat’s meow

The Island Now

In good holiday spirit, on Dec. 1, the first night of Hanukah, a kitten was brought into Village Hall by the Village of Great Neck Plaza’s Department of Public Works.

The kitten, now named Fisher, was abandoned in the pouring rain on Middle Neck Road, in a cat taxi with a fleece blanket.

Luckily, the staff at the mayor’s office knew right away how to make the kitten feel at home until he was adopted.

Michal Pinto, the assistant to Village Great Neck Plaza Mayor Jean Celender, had been looking to adopt a kitten, and could not resist the opportunity.

“Fisher brings so much happiness, excitement, and warmth to my family,” Pinto said. “He is just what we were looking for, and better yet, he hails from Great Neck.”

The vet says Fisher is nine months old, and is a healthy kitten.

Celender urges people not to abandon their domesticated pets, as they should be taken to an animal shelter or should find a new owner.
