EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — An Egyptian hairless cat with gang tattoos that police rescued from a Mexican prison has found a forever home across the border.

The cat was among nine other pets the inmates had at the Cereso No. 3 state prison in Juarez.

The cat had been tattooed with an “Hecho en Mexico” or “Made in Mexico” logo used by the Mexicles gang.

Officers searched prison cells following a prison break that left 10 guards and seven inmates dead on New Year’s Day.

(Courtesy: La Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Estado de Chihuahua) Investigators say several heavily armed individuals rushed the prison as the gates opened to visitors and killed three guards before proceeding to a cell block where Mexicles gang leader Ernesto “El Neto” Alfredo Piñon was being held.

The assailants, identified as members of the Mexicles gang, rounded up seven prison guards and shot them execution-style before making off with “El Neto.” Police killed the gang leader in a shootout days later and have since recaptured the majority of the 30 inmates who escaped.

In addition to several animals, authorities found plasma TV sets, drugs, liquor and cash, as well as musical instruments, and even a mechanical bull inside several cells.

The cat was put up for adoption, and immediately garnered interest from hundreds of people around the world.

A special committee set up by the city of Juarez whittled the number of adoption applicants to 10, including seven from the U.S., two from Juarez and one from the state of Oaxaca. The committee reportedly voted unanimously to have the cat sent to a new country, thus sending it to the U.S.

The adoption was not without controversy. Local animal shelters ask authorities to let the public know that they, too, have hundreds of cats up for adoption, and not focus on just one cat.

The identity of the tattooed cat’s new owner will not be unveiled for safety reasons.

You could try your local McDonald’s and see if they’d break down the French fry boxes and hold them. When I worked as a manager I’d do that. We’d just stack them nicely in the back with a sign.

I do not blame you, I would not be afraid to phone your husband if the provider is there and atleast have him on speaker phone. There’s nothing wrong with wanting the other parent to be informed! Remember to take some good deep breathes, manifest good energy and keep the faith and hope. I know it’s tough especially being in the hospital. Don’t be afraid to ask for a warm blanket if needed! 🤍👍🏼

Having a loved one or being in the hospital is always scary and anxious, I hope you find peace of mind soon.

Just because people go to bars on thanksgiving, doesn’t mean they had a bad thanksgiving or that they have drinking problems. Some people just like to celebrate with friends over a few drinks or go to the bar to let off some stream! No judgement, just looking for a good time at a bar somewhere local. I literally just had a coworker say she was going to the bar because she had worked 12 hours today and was just gonna meet up with her husband and go to a bar before home. Some people just wanna relax and get outta the house. 👌

I work at a hospital and can confirm, most patients hair gets incredibly natted/tangled from not being able to get up for a good amount of time. We do try and use combs where I work to try and atleast keep hair, straight, clean and presentable. All depends on if the patient has any drains/leads on their head that could interfere. I hope you’re doing better now though and hope you can get it fixed. I wish they would’ve atleast tried to comb it out for you once or twice when you were there.

I work at mercy and besides the onboarding drug test, I don’t believe they test for nicotine. I think it’s just more of a pledge to not smoke it on the grounds or smell like it when you come to work. I know nurses that vape nicotine and even some that smoke cigarettes. Just not at work or near work. 👍🏼 I know when you apply for benefits it’ll be in your benefit questions on if you smoke cause they offer programs to help quit lol. I know you’re going through OTCs LPN program, I’m a tech at mercy and want to do my pre reqs at otc so I can do nursing too!! I applied but have not enrolled in any classes for spring yet tho. I hope you love mercy as much as me! I had a good experience that has helped me make sure nursing is what I want.
