NEW YORK (UPI) -- Molly, famous for being trapped inside the walls of
a New York Deli for 14 days before she was finally freed, may be the
most world's most expensive cat.
After Molly disappeared March 31, her predicament drew international
attention to Peter Myers' deli. Animal Care & Control of New York City
drilled dozens of holes in the 157-year-old building before rescuing
Molly.
The agency raised $1,000 to help cover repairs but Myers told the New
York Daily News that would cover "merely a fraction" of the cost of
putting the building right.
"Molly's turning out to be the most expensive cat in the world," Myers
told the newspaper.
Mike Pastore, Animal Care & Control's director of field operations,
told the News the agency wanted to help -- not pay the entire cost.
"We were there to save the cat, not restore the building," he said.
Myers said he had been told by rescuers that a woman from California
volunteered to foot the bill for excavating to rescue the 11-month-old
kitten -- but there was a string attached.
"That was providing that she could adopt the cat. I never knew that,"
Myers said.
