If you have been following the saga of Rocco, a cat stranded in the Windermere Court Apartments, you will be happy to know that City Kitties is reporting that he has made it out. The orange tabby was rescued this morning.
Meanwhile, City Paper is reporting today that Windermere residents who have been waiting outside the building for access to some of their belongings are worried that the ice, which may have helped keep the floors and ceilings stable, is beginning to melt in the warm weather. The melting may affect the ability of demolition crews to salvage more belongings.
The demolition of the building has been put on hold indefinitely. The Department of Licenses and Inspection has said that the decision to demolish the building rests with the owners, who have not been available for comment.

I can foster Rocco, until he finds a definite place. I wish I could have him for good, but i may leave in May.

That’s awesome Angela. You might already know this, but you should contact City Kitties here: http://citykitties.org/get-involved/foster/
Also, Rocco will be going back with his family after they get into non-hotel housing.
