Alberta the cat of Richmond, ME died Saturday, October 11th at Androscoggin Animal Hospital in Topsham.
Born in 1990 in Bronx, NY, Alberta was adopted from the 96th Street Animal Shelter in Manhattan in 1991. She began her hunting career in a small apartment on Mott Street, where she innovated a technique of trapping the American Cockroach in human footwear. Traveling widely by car, train, boat and plane, Alberta fiercely defended territories in Vashon Island, WA, Berkeley, CA, and Richmond, ME.
Her hunting prowess, proven in urban, suburban, and rural environments, brought her many rodent trophies, including the House Mouse, Deer Mouse, and Field Mouse or Meadow Vole. She also enjoyed bird-watching.
Alberta was a great lap cat, and a true party-animal who loved being the center of human attention. She is survived by her companion-human, Sandra York, and the other cat, Edith.
