Cardinals say 'Rally Cat' is missing

The St. Louis Cardinals, hoping to "scratch and claw their way" into the playoffs, are looking for "Rally Cat" after it reportedly went missing late Wednesday night.

The stray feline entered Cardinals lore Wednesday night, interrupting play against the Kansas City Royals with the bases loaded in the sixth inning by running onto the field and toward the center-field wall.

One pitch after a grounds crew member Lucas Hackmann painfully retrieved the scared kitten, Yadier Molina blasted what turned out to be a game-winning grand slam in an 8-5 victory.

*****************
according to the Cardinals a woman grabbed the cat and claimed it was hers. She ran off with the cat and reportedly lost it in City garden.
The Cardinals are now working on a stray animal protocol for the crew and animal (that cat tore up the grounds crew member)

The Cardinals are also trying to get 'Rally Cat' back
Even non-cat person, Cardinals manager Mike Methany wants the cat back, "I'm not a cat person, but I sure liked that one."

Such a gorgeous fluffy feline. I hope they find it safe, sound and soon and that it gets a wonderful loving forever home.

It looks like it's young enough that even if it's truly feral there's a very good chance that it could be brought around, and fairly easily, by someone who 'gets' cats, is patient and cares enough to work with it.
