Opossum Kingdom?

So word on the street is we have an opossum population right here in Kensington. Local Brendan tipped us off to these cute little marsupials after snapping a shot of this critter on Albemarle Road. Though this photo looks a little gruesome, in all likelihood this thespian of the animal kingdom is very much alive and out rummaging through your garbage or chasing tasty rats into the safety of your home right now. I, for one, welcome our pointy-snouted overlords.

Holiday Fundraiser for Sean Casey Animal Rescue

The Sean Casey Animal Rescue invites you to join them and the Open Mic Project for a night of live music, raffles and contests at our holiday party. Come celebrate a successful year of rehabilitation and adoption of a record number of orphaned animals.

We rescued over 2,000 animals in 2008 and we are aiming high for 2009. But we need your help and support to continue our work. 100% of the $20 cover charge will go directly to the rescue.

Join the Sean Casey Animal Rescue for this event at 9pm on Friday December 12th, 2008 at The Old Carriage Inn - 312 7th Ave (between 7th & 8th St.) in Park Slope.
