It's puzzling, how things turn out.

At Station 57 of the New York Fire Department
(Bedford-Stuyvesant),
the mascot cat is welcomed by one and all.

At Station 49 of the San Francisco Fire Department,
the adopted stray cat was reported
in a complaint to the Human Resources department by a staff member.

In San Francisco,
the cat was taken to a private home
in order to comply with the Fire Department orders,
where the cat is happy and healthy,
while many of the station staff miss her.

In New York, where the cat needed a visit to the vet,
the vet found a malignant tumor (mast cells) on the cat's spleen.
The cat was removed from the fire station
and is being housed at a private home
while being medicated and prepared
for the surgery to remove the spleen.
The station staff miss their cat, and are following the cat's progress
on social media (Instagram);
what is more, a social-media fund-raising campaign was set up
to pay the New York cat's vet bills,
and the contributions have risen well above the amount asked for.

Now both cats have Instagram accounts
where social-media participants worldwide are posting comments
and wishing them well.
And both stations miss their mascots.
