Miracles happen under the big city, too.

A kitten that has been lost for 25 days was finally found safe and sound (more or less).  The cat, whose name is Georgia, escaped from her carrier and ran off the subway platform and has wandered through the New York underground subway for almost four weeks.

Georgia and her owner Bronx librarian Ashley Phillips, 24, were returning home after a visit at the vet when the cat made her insensible escape. Philips was extremely worried and after all those days of search, felt almost hopeless. “I couldn't grab her fast enough and she jumped onto the tracks,” she said.

Ms Philips and transit workers looked for Georgia on the first day for two hours and then abandoned. However, a cat seems not only to have nine lives, but also ineffable luck: Georgia was discovered after almost a month.

Transit workers initiated another  “mission: impossible” to find the missing cat after hearing that somebody caught a glimpse of the six-month feline below Lexington Avenue and East 55th Street. Track workers Mark Dalessio and Efrain LaPorte wandered in the area making “meow” sounds and Georgia responded.

The kitten was discovered hidden in a drain between two tracks. She looked scared, and had her nose scratched. Also, she lost some considerable weight but she will be able to return to her warm, fuzzy life and gain the weight back.
