So I realize that this isn't the best place to do this, BUT it's important; so deal!
A friend of mine from high school started a communications agency recently and will be in Afghanistan for a few months starting really soon. In the meantime, she needs someone to foster her lovely, adorable, awesome cats. There's two of them and they need a temporary home (maybe just a few months, ideally for a bit longer). Of course, ALL expenses (food, litter, vet care, etc.) will be paid for, so really this means you'll get to hang out with two amazing cats for free! FREE! In the name of guilt tripping you, if nothing turns up they may be shelter-bound. DO IT!! Or, you know, ask other people to do it for you.
This person will have to be pretty close to NYC. Maybe not right in the city (although that'd be ideal), but near enough. Please spread the word.
This is the listing she made about fostering them:
