Jack the cat moved to Manhattan for further treatment

[Contrary1]

Two months on the lam. This is one tough kitty. According to the Facebook page set up, his condition has been upgraded from critical to serious.

"Jack the cat is moving on to the West Side of Manhattan from Queens as he continues to regain his strength for his return voyage to his owner in California.
The cat, who was lost at John F. Kennedy International Airport for two months, was moved Thursday from the BluePearl Veterinary animal hospital in Forest Hills to its new state-of-the-arts facility at 410 West 55 St. where he will continue his recuperation.

“Jack’s still critical, but he’s stable so transferring him is the right decision at this point,” Jack’s vet, Benjamin Davidson, said in a statement. “The Manhattan hospital has an expansive intensive care unit where Jack will continue to be monitored around-the-clock by BluePearl’s broad complement of specialists, including cardiologists, critical care specialists, internists and dermatologists.”

On Aug. 25, Karen Pascoe was flying to California to move from Manhattan to her new home and planning to take Jack and his feline brother Barry with her on the flight. The two pets were put in kennels and were about to be placed in the plane when somehow Jack broke out and disappeared.

On Oct 25, Jack dropped down from the ceiling right near American staff members who were in the customs room..."

I was wondering how he'd made it all that time and how he was going to get home. I hope he'll get 100% better!!

But a hell of a commentary on our society. That cat is getting better care than many humans.
