Small yellow cat on bike path between Mass Ave and Alewife

[smammy]

This morning I saw a small yellow cat hanging around the bike path just East of Alewife. No collar or tags, but really friendly. She seemed to be getting enough to eat, but had some dry skin and missing fur on her ear. She was still there when I rode back through 20 minutes later. Just thought I'd post in case someone was missing her or wanted to go check her out. Take her to the vet? Adopt her?

This could be a symptom of ringworm, which is highly contagious cat-to-cat and somewhat contagious cat-to-human.

I would call Paw Safe, which is a small no-kill shelter in Somerville. Their number is 617 seven one eight 0943, and you're most likely to find a human there Saturday or Sunday between noon and 2pm.

Just curious -- why did you spell out part of the phone number?

Because I want humans to get the number but not potential spammers.
