Emmie -- an ode to the MTA -- is now a Harlem resident after a subway rider, who initially whisked the kitten to safety, decided to keep the two-month-old feline.
The kitten had quietly boarded the subway train and had been going from person to person in adorable kitten fashion, meowing as if looking for her mother or needing help from someone for food and safety.
Yes, there were other commuters who offered to take her, but subway patron Betsaida Mercado swooped the tiny bundle up into her arms and headed back home.
Maybe the two were meant to be together; the next day Mercado took Emmie to the vet, and the kitten had not been microchipped, making her ready to be adopted.
Since then Mercado set up a fundraiser to help her with the veterinarian fees and closed the funding at $3,000, so grateful to everyone who helped, but stated all that money wasn’t needed. Instead she plans to donate most of the money to a few animal shelters in Manhattan.
