Hey, remember back in the summer when two fur balls on the Church Avenue B/Q tracks [stalled part of the NYC subway system for over an hour](/blog/transportation/trains-stopped-at-church-ave-due-to-debris-or-cat-on-the-tracks), capturing hearts across the country and then [becoming a political issue](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/lhota-wouldn-stopped-subway-kittens-article-1.1442178?ref=bklyner.com)?

We know some local commuters were less than thrilled with the kitty chaos, but here’s your chance to let little Arthur and August make it up to you with a lifetime of snuggles and crack-of-dawn wake ups. The [New York Daily News](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/subway-kittens-arthur-august-adoption-article-1.1489728?ref=bklyner.com) says the kittens, having already been fostered for the past month or so, are now ready for their forever homes–and we’re really hoping a local will bring them back to the neighborhood.

Arthur and August are currently at [Animal Care & Control](http://www.nycacc.org/?ref=bklyner.com) in Manhattan, getting up to date on shots. AC&C employee Richard Gentles says they hope to adopt the mischievous pair out together very soon, preferably to a home without children to “make for an easier transition.”

At least one of our staff members also thinks the kittens could be named something more reflective of the area and/or the boys’ subway adventure–so if you’re a wordsmith who’s looking to adopt, email [adoption@nycacc.org](mailto:adoption@nycacc.org) (and leave your moniker ideas in the comments).
