Gift link?

I need to save my gift links for work and family. Maybe someone else has one to spare? Happy New Year to all!

Aside: Our library offers access to major newspapers, including the NYTimes. It is not full access - but I was able to open the above posted article through them. For those who do not have a NYT subscription, maybe check your library?
But also THANK YOU to all the gift links when available. Much more efficient and appreciated :wink:

Prisoners informally adopt the cats, work together to care for them, share their food and beds and, in some cases, have built them little houses. In return, the cats provide something invaluable in a lockup notorious for overcrowding and squalid conditions: love, affection and acceptance.

“Sometimes you’ll be depressed and it’s like she senses that you’re a bit down,” said Reinaldo Rodriguez, 48, who is scheduled to be imprisoned until 2031 on a firearms conviction. “She comes and glues herself to you. She’ll touch her face to yours.”
