I know the person who adopted the cat! Can’t say anytbing about who they are for safety reasons but the videos they sent were heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Truly a lovely cat but seeing it with tattoos was so sad. The person who adopted the cat is a great person and will love this cat how it deserves to be loved

OMG!! Me too!!! Just had foot surgery and came out of it feeling GREAT!!!

I have always been a huge proponent of the environmentally conscious blow to the head.

To be fair, every cat is a hardened criminal. Adorable little murderers they are

Just a wooden stick to bite on

So are we going back to getting black out drunk and hopefully staying passed out through the entire procedure?

Idk what they said other than "Come on", but I can only imagine they are skeptical as to how harmful it actually is. After all, I never expected my anesthetics to be biodegradable.

You mean like the The Slavery Abolition Act of 1833?

Don't be a victim your entire life.

Thank you for posting this. In case folks think this is referring to some special pet police unit, Chihuahua is a state in northern Mexico.

Genuine thanks for explaining. Man, that's a rough situation but uplifting no doubt.

That cat could be a hardened criminal! Why are we just releasing it from jail without a hearing?

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — An Egyptian hairless cat with gang tattoos that police rescued from a Mexican prison has found a forever home across the border.

The cat was among nine other pets the inmates had at the Cereso No. 3 state prison in Juarez.

The cat had been tattooed with an “Hecho en Mexico” or “Made in Mexico” logo used by the Mexicles gang.

Officers searched prison cells following a prison break that left 10 guards and seven inmates dead on New Year’s Day.

(Courtesy: La Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Estado de Chihuahua) Investigators say several heavily armed individuals rushed the prison as the gates opened to visitors and killed three guards before proceeding to a cell block where Mexicles gang leader Ernesto “El Neto” Alfredo Piñon was being held.

The assailants, identified as members of the Mexicles gang, rounded up seven prison guards and shot them execution-style before making off with “El Neto.” Police killed the gang leader in a shootout days later and have since recaptured the majority of the 30 inmates who escaped.

In addition to several animals, authorities found plasma TV sets, drugs, liquor and cash, as well as musical instruments, and even a mechanical bull inside several cells.

The cat was put up for adoption, and immediately garnered interest from hundreds of people around the world.

A special committee set up by the city of Juarez whittled the number of adoption applicants to 10, including seven from the U.S., two from Juarez and one from the state of Oaxaca. The committee reportedly voted unanimously to have the cat sent to a new country, thus sending it to the U.S.

The adoption was not without controversy. Local animal shelters ask authorities to let the public know that they, too, have hundreds of cats up for adoption, and not focus on just one cat.

The identity of the tattooed cat’s new owner will not be unveiled for safety reasons.

I'm glad the poor dear was rescued. Tattooing an animal that can't consent to entirely cosmetic alterations like that is cruel.

That is slightly dope though. He's a gangsta cat.

This looks like the title of an Onion article

I'll take the Jackson Juice, thanks!

Come on and what? Switching to an equally effective and far less destructive option is ...? What's your problem here?

"Lifelong best friends" so, just two dudes?

There is some humor in this not being an economic thing at all but still being an uplifting story that required something tragic to create it.

Ignoring the nuance of these situations isn't healthy.

So, this man had a son that was married but the son died, then his wife (so the father's daughter-in-law) got married again and he danced with her. That was a little tricky, I must admit!
