Update on Postina, the Abandoned Drop Box Kitten
I am thrilled to provide an update on our story about Postina, the tiny calico who was unceremoniously abandoned when someone shoved her into the slot of a postal dropbox in Boston.
A New Hampshire postal worker, George Knapp, and his wife, Dani-Jean Stuart, have adopted the two-pound 8-week-old kitten.
According to the MSPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center, Stuart directed a news segment about the kitten’s plight. The kitten was named “Postina” by the MSPCA, but her new parents have rechristened her “P.D.”, for “Postage Due.”
No one has yet been arrested for abandoning the kitten. Pet abandonment in Massachusetts is punishable by up to a $2,500 fine and 5 years in prison.

Yeah, love happy endings.
I just wish that all those people that wanted to adopt her would go to the shelter and give another deserving kitty a home. They were getting 10 calls an hour…that would be a lot of shelter kitties getting a home!
Bosco just loves stories that have a happy ending!!!
I bet Postina would love for those others who called in to adopt her, to adopt another sweet shelter kitty in her honor =)
Oh, Biscuit, such a brilliant idea!
I like the laws in MA that someone who abandons and animal can get up to 5 years in prison. I doubt this perp will ever be found. YAY for PD!!
Shes adorable!! How could anyone do that to such a cutie pie?
