It took a zombie to bring this cat back from the dead.
A Times Square performer rescued a runaway tuxedo cat — named Disaster — from a busy intersection, wrapping up the feline’s two-year trek from Long Island to Midtown.
The undead actor then returned the pet to his shocked cop owner, who called Disaster “the James Bond of cats.”
Jeremy Zelkowitz, 22, who plays a zombie for the year-round haunted house Times Scare, scooped the frightened 5-year-old feline off 42nd Street on Saturday and took him to a nearby veterinary clinic.
“I’m just glad I could help, but the whole situation was pretty bizarre,” said Zelkowitz, who moved to Midtown after Hurricane Sandy destroyed his home in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.
The zombie got off work at around 1 a.m. and spotted Disaster running around the Crossroads of the World.
A car nearly crushed the cat, which then tried to take shelter at a Dallas BBQ and a Starbucks.
“He was obviously a house cat. He seemed really scared,” Zelkowitz said.
Zelkowitz caught Disaster and took him to BluePearl Veterinary Partners on West 55th Street — where he checked in sporting makeup appropriate for “Night of the Living Dead.”
Workers were “a little freaked out” at first, but soon learned the zombie was there to help the cat — and not devour their brains.
Vets scanned the pet’s microchip and found his owner, NYPD Officer James Helliesen, 51.
The officer, who works in the 79th Precinct in Bedford-Stuyvesant, said he first thought the whole thing was a prank.
“I was stunned. I assumed someone in the neighborhood had taken him in,” he said of Disaster’s 15-mile journey from Helliesen’s Woodmere home.
“I don’t know how he made it to Manhattan — he’s the James Bond of cats.
“I guess he wanted to see the bright lights and the big city.”
He first met the cat — a friendly stray who was often seen around the station house — about 2 1/2 years ago.
But too many cats started to congregate near the station, and Disaster ended up at a shelter, where Helliesen rescued him from “cat death row,” he said.
He named the cat Disaster because the precinct motto at the time was “Flirting with Disaster.”
The cat ran away after Helliesen’s wife left a window open.
Helliesen is looking for someone to adopt Disaster, who survived his long ordeal with only a beat-up ear.
“I figure he’s got three or four lives left,” Helliesen said.
