NFL – Monday night black cat still on the loose at MetLife Stadium
The elusive black cat from "Monday Night Football" is still on the run. MetLife Stadium officials said Thursday the search for the fleet feline that briefly delayed the nationally televised game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys on Monday night has been unsuccessful. The search started on Tuesday morning with multiple humane traps being stationed in the stadium. After that came up empty, stadium officials asked PuppykittyNYCity — a trap, neuter, release and no-kill shelter — for help. "We are hopeful that together we can find the black cat that we all fell in love with Monday night," the stadium statement said. PuppykittyNYCity said in a statement Thursday that if the cat is caught, it will be assessed for a home or relocation. "Even though we want to relocate him, we still support TNR (trap, neuter, release) programs," the nonprofit, volunteer-run rescue organization said in its release.
