A reader asks:

“Please keep your eyes peeled for a kitty who went missing in the Adams Morgan neighborhood just South of Columbia Road and Ontario Road last night. My friends adopted him just a couple of weeks ago from the Humane Society. He tore a hole in a window screen and escaped from their apartment at 2800 Ontario Road. He was last seen around midnight a half block away on The Ontario apartment grounds. His name is Leonard and he’s very friendly.

If you see him, please call my friends (202-615-4411) or me (202-986-5397) ASAP.”

From the Forum: “Lincoln Park dog incident 4/6/2016”

“Dear dog owners and neighbors:

On April 6, 2016, around 7pm, there was an incident in Lincoln Park with an offleash dog that resulted in my (leashed) dog Kiki having three puncture wounds on her neck and needing immediate serious vet care.

I am trying to locate the owner of this dog. The offleash dog was medium-large size (50 to 70 pounds?), tan/brown, shorthaired. Maybe named Kirby, or something similar.

If you know the owner, or are the owner, please contact me as soon as possible.

Thank you for your help.”

“I don’t quite understand why cat owners so routinely ignore D.C. Code § 8-1808”

“Dear PoPville,

I see that sometimes people pose difficult questions and I have one that goes like this:

Four or five cats routinely visit my back yard and one is using my planters as litter boxes. Friends have pointed out that cats are better than rats, and I must agree.

Nevertheless, I don’t quite understand why cat owners so routinely ignore
D.C. Code § 8-1808, which prohibits animals from roaming “at large.”

Am I wrong about the code? Are cat owners unaware of this regulation? Perhaps your readers have thoughts on this.”

Very Friendly Cat Found in Atlas Court NE

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I found a cat the other day and was wondering if you would be so kind as to post her to the blog. She was found Monday, 5/14, in Atlas Court NE on the I street side of the alley. She was very a very tattered nylon collar with no tags. I’ve taken her to be scanned and she isn’t chipped. She weighs about six pounds, very friendly and comes when called. She’s missing a few teeth, including a lower canine. She seems to be older and is unable to jump more than a foot or two. She’s a wonderful cat, and I’d love to see her in her home (my dogs would love it too).”

If you recognize this cat please email [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP. Thanks!

“I know there has been some sad/strange animal sacrifices in the city before, so wasn’t sure if this was related.”

“Dear PoPville,

I am reaching out to see if anyone else noticed the dead cat at P st and Marion on Saturday. I walked by the cat around 5 pm that afternoon, so I am not sure how long it had been there. The cat was laid out on top of what seemed to be an old shirt. Didn’t really look like it died naturally in that spot, more like someone had placed it there. I know there has been some sad/strange animal sacrifices in the city before, so wasn’t sure if this was related.”

UPDATE: Found. Keep an Eye Out for “Sir Oliver, quite sweet and people-friendly”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

My roommates and I greatly would appreciate your help in finding our recently adopted, and quite sweet, catmate Sir Oliver. Here are the details:

In the darkness of the night (maybe around 5AM), he made a daring escape from his homely Mt. Pleasant “prison” apparently by slicing open one of our screens and squirreling out (from the third floor no less). All because I did not want to let him take over the whole bed again last night.

We live on the 3300 block of 18th Street NW, right by Monroe St. There are numerous yards in the back (hopefully a neighbor sees this), as well as an alley. If you see him, please call 631-871-2514.

Sir Oliver is quite sweet and people-friendly. He has a slight slit in his right ear. He nibbles a bit but has not discovered he has claws. He unfortunately does not have a collar yet, though he is chipped (and we are pursuing all avenues to find him). Any help would be appreciated.”
