Brooklyn Cat Disappears, Community Finds Him
A three-month-old kitten named Jabal vanished from the Eighth Street Mini Market in Park Slope on September 10. Surveillance footage captured a man picking up the kitten and walking away, sparking a neighborhood search that offered a $500 reward. The search led to Mary Sierra, who admitted taking Jabal home but claimed he was a stray she had found nearby. Police recovered the kitten at the 78th Precinct, where he was reunited with owner Imad “Jimmy” Innab. Sierra was charged with petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and stealing a companion animal. After the incident, Innab plans to give Jabal an identification tag and consider microchipping to prevent future disappearances.
