Amid a slew of odd discoveries in a state Mexican prison, authorities found a tattooed Sphynx cat that belonged to Los Mexicles.
The cat was found inside a cell bearing the markings of Los Mexicles, a Sinaloa Cartel-allied gang with overBelieved to be around three years old, the cat was in good health — except for a slight infection in its eyes and ears, said Diego Poggio, who leads a municipal agency that oversees animal rescues and adoptions. It also had two tattoos.
For nearly a month, the kitty — dubbed “Mishicles” in a play between the cutesy Spanish nickname for felines and the gang’s name — was kept under the rescue agency’s care while the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office conducted an investigation. But the symbols covering its body, combined with its rather hardcore looks, quickly led to a social media frenzy and adoption inquiries.
On Feb. 21, officials announced an effort to find “a family that will provide the care and attention it needs.” Potential adoptees “should be aware that it is a special animal, which will surely require medical follow-ups, for which the family that will receive it will be responsible,” the rescue agency said in a news release.Soon, the agency received 10 applications from Mexico and the U.S. — mostly from people in Texas, Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut. Someone in Texas wound up the lucky adopter of a cat that has been described as playful and friendly.
