Curtis Sliwa calls for feral cat ‘colonies’ to claw back at NYC rat problem: ‘Caped crusaders at night’


Speaking one day after The Post exposed rat infestation at the Tarr-Coyne Tots Playground on West 67th Street, the Guardian Angels founder and GOP candidate said the feline fix is the obvious answer to the rodent problem plaguing parts of the city. “This is Mother Nature’s way of preventing rats, rodents and others to plague any area of the city,” Sliwa said Sunday at the Central Park playground. Sliwa also said he’s adding his name to the independent “Protect Animals” line in his City Hall bid, calling it “an independent line that calls for no kill shelters” — and slammed rival Mayor Eric Adams, saying he’s been unable to solve the rat problem despite appointing a “Rat Czar” in 2023.
