We here at NYCityPets are involved in many ways with pets. We petsit, volunteer for homeless pets, work with pets professionally, care for our own pets and we blog about pets. In short, we love pets and understand that situations arise where people need help to find another loving home for their beloved pets.

This love of pets is why we hate the man we have named New York City’s own Biggest Coward of the Day.

Thanks to his actions today, we are announcing the Blockbuster Cat Contest.

But first, the back story:

This man is moving from NYC in less than one week. Today he was unable to find a home for his cat after his only only efforts were to try his local pet store and a random nearby veterinary hospital to see what options were available. After he received a list of all the NYC shelters and rescue groups and some email contact information, the man said: “I don’t believe in computers. None of these shelters are near here either.”
He left in frustration and went into the nearby Blockbuster Video store. He then set the cat cage on the floor, opened it and walked out of the store.

To us, he is now known as the Biggest Coward of New York City for August 4th, 2006.

Our Blockbuster Cat Contest is as follows: If you are in NYC and are looking to adopt a calm, sweet cat that deserves much more than to be abandoned, then email NYCityPets. We will provide free cat sitting for a year should you need to leave this cat for vacations or business travel. We’ll also give you a new carrier and bestow upon you the honor of Hero of the Day of New York City.

Update: Pictures Available!
