The two playful kittens who brought a Brooklyn subway line to a standstill while rescuers raced to save them from the tracks are ready for adoption.
The cuddly, 10-week old duo, named Arthur and August, have been recovering in foster homes since their harrowing rescue, city animal control officials said.
“While still a bit shy, Arthur and August are playful and sweet kittens, whose trouble-making days aren’t entirely behind them — though the trouble they’re up to now is on a much smaller scale than the kind that made the headlines over the summer,” Animal Care & Control said in announcing the adoption availability.
The adorable pair were spotted running up and down the tracks, near the third rail, on the B/Q line at the Church Avenue station in Ditmas Park on August 29.
They dodged speeding trains and played cat-and-mouse with MTA workers, who cut the power to keep the cats from being squashed as they tried to catch them and bring them to safety.
AC&C took custody of the kittens after they were rescued.
“They received socialization and some much-needed TLC,” AC&C said Friday.
“Arthur needed to be hospitalized at one point due to his weakened immune system, and he was also treated for a severe eye infection.” The agency’s Special Treatement and Recovery Fund paid for the health care.
