• Hate to be the bearer of bad news but we saw a dead kitty at the intersection of 63rd and Crown Lane in the DM/Windsor Heights area.
  It was up by the sidewalk. Didn’t have my phone as I was walking 2 dogs plus wouldn’t post pics like that. It resembled the cat in this internet… (Nextdoor Waukee)
