Times Square Barker Finds a Lost Long Island Cat

There are not nearly enough feel-good stories involving Times Square barkers who dress up like zombies. Here’s one: A guy named Jeremy Zelkowitz, who promotes a haunted house on 42nd Street, found a cat that had fled its Long Island home two years ago, just wandering around Midtown like it was no big deal. A microchip revealed the cat, Disaster, had last been registered to a New York City cop in the suburbs. It’s not quite the 1,800-mile journey of Willow the cat, but we’ll take it.
