Pet of the Week: Snowy, A Sweet 8-Year-Old Cat
Looking to adopt a pet? Now up for adoption at the Animal Rescue League of Boston is Snowy. Snowy is an absolute sweetheart! At 8 years old, Snowy has been moved around a lot, so she is a bit on the shy-side but warms right up away when you give her affection. When people open her cage to visit, she jumps right up to give them head nudges on their hands. Snowy would do best in a quiet home where she will be doted on with plenty of love. She lived with another cat in her previous home and would probably do well with another mellow cat. She has already been spayed, and is ready to go to her final home today! You don’t want to miss out on this pretty lady! For more information on Snowy or any of the other animals currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, call 617-226-5602. The Animal Rescue League of Boston is open Tuesday through Thursday 1- 7 p.m. and Friday through Sunday 1-4 p.m., excluding holidays.

Police: South End Man Kicked 8-Year-Old Girl on Orange Line
A South End man is facing assault annd battery charges for allegedly kicking an 8-year-old girl in the leg on the Orange Line a few weeks ago, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office. South End resident Antwan Crawford, 33, was arraigned on Thursday in Charlestown District Court on one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for the incident aboard an Orange Line train near Community College station on Feb. 27. Witnesses told police that a man had been engaged in a verbal altercation with another passenger whom the man apparently believed had stepped on his sneakers. It was in the aftermath of that altercation that the child reported to her mother that the man had kicked her in the leg. Using her phone, the mother of the victim snapped the man’s picture. Using that phone photo, police at Bunker Hill Community College identified the man as Crawford based on a previous arrest for trespassing. As a result, MBTA Transit Police obtained a warrant for Crawford’s arrest and took him into custody on Wednesday. The district attorney’s office set his bail at $ 300, and he was also ordered to stay away from the victim and the Orange Line while the case is pending.
