As many students may remember, last year McClatchy had its own residential cat that roamed the campus uninhibited. Named after where she was discovered, Dumpster The Cat is a black and white kitty with a charming crooked tail. Her sweet demeanor and friendliness made her an on-campus icon to many students, especially to senior Molly Martin.
From the time Molly and their friends discovered Dumpster, they developed a beautiful friendship which led to the adoption of Dumpster by Molly in February. There, Dumpster has lived happily and contently with Molly, until something unexpected occurred. Molly’s family has decided to move, and they can’t take Dumpster with them. So, Molly is searching for a new home for their beloved Dumpster.
“She was so cute and cuddly,” said Molly, “I wanted to give her a home.” According to Molly, Dumpster has adjusted well to life in a home. “I think she likes not being surrounded by 1000 teenagers all the time.”
Dumpster’s impact on McClatchy is undeniable. “Dumpster is truly an icon. Bigger than Beyonce. The shining light that illuminates my existence,” raved Lisa Doubek-Kraft, a junior.
Senior Chrysanthe Vidal agreed, saying “She is the sweetest creature on the planet, the school is not the same without her.” Sophomore Mackenzie Crall added, “She deserves a home and is too sweet to be homeless.”
McClatchy students: this is a call to action. Are we going to let this cat live on the streets again? That’s not the McClatchy spirit! Dumpster may be her name, but it shouldn’t have to be her home. If anyone is interested in giving this sweet, healthy kitty a home, contact Molly Martin. Adoption is absolutely free and Dumpster would come with a litter box and a bag of food.
