Do you know this kitty?
I’ve seen this young cat around CV over the past few weeks, and yesterday I found her in the garden. She’s injured — her right eye is damaged — and is not afraid of people.
If you know of any CVers who are trying to rescue her, pls put me in touch. I don’t have email addresses for the phone numbers of the animal lovers I usually see regularly while gardening, but want to let them know she’s hanging out in the (locked) play area.
I’m guessing she was abandoned and hasn’t been outside on her own for too long. Thanks. -Denise

Is This A Pupa? A Butterfly That Overwintered On Milkweed?
18 Mar
Found on native milkweed while pruning today: A specimen that looks like it could be a pupa or some type of chrysalis.
We’ll investigate.
In the meantime, does anyone have a butterfly net or pop up display cage where we can place it outside?

Butterfly Sighting On CV Grounds!
29 MayI saw this Red Admiral and his friend frolicking on the path in between 195 Adams and 215 Adams Streets. It’s the same area I’ve seen early season butterflies for the last couple seasons. Keep your eyes peeled for caterpillars! –Denise
