The Ginderske 2007 campaign office has a new volunteer: Pumpkin the cat. Campaign volunteer Kevin Lane was walking near the office of Alderman Joe Moore's office (49th Ward) on Friday night when he saw the cat frightened and huddling underneath somebody's front porch. Kevin took pity on the little guy and carried him to the alderman's office, thinking that a man like Joe Moore - who cares so much about the welfare of geese - would surely take in a freezing, starving cat from his own neighborhood.
Kevin was mistaken. The alderman's office help told him that "social services" would be called. That wasn't good enough for Kevin. He brought Pumpkin to the campaign office of Jim Ginderske, and the cat was welcomed with blankets, food and love. A quick examination quickly showed that Pumpkin is a rack of bones, obviously not fed well probably even before he found himself abandoned in bitter cold conditions. The Ginderske team called the phone number on Pumpkin's collar tag, but the woman who answered angily said she had no cat and to not call again.

Perhaps it's better in the long run that Pumpkin left her.
Even if you support another candidate, please donate a can of food or two to help this little cat regain his strength. Thanks!

Will Jim be out kissin' babies tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteDunno.
ReplyDeleteDoes Pumpkin have a permanent loving home now? I was stunned that the person whose name was on the tag disavowed any knowledge of him, or any cat!!
ReplyDeleteI guess Joe is Ok with ducks but not cats ;)
Pumpkin has been spoken for: One of Jim's volunteers will take the little fellow on Feb. 28. Joe Moore probably doesn't care about geese or ducks, either - he wrote the foie gras ordinance because a friend of his pushed it on him and his advisors said hey Joe, this'll get you a lot of PETA types to support you. Since the rescue of a single cat wouldn't do Joe any good politically, he doesn't give a cat's ass.
