[Summit] Lost cat

Not sure if you are aware or not but there are two different shelters in Providence. The first is run by PARL and the other by the city "animal control". I have advised others of this and they have had luck finding their friends at the alternative shelter. 

Good luck. My thoughts are with you and your cat.

I think we really should organize against this profit making,
privatizing approach to a public resource.   Could the Association
