Goldman Sachs, kitten savior
Yes, the investment bank is now saving kittens. Will this help improve its image?
Does a vampire squid save kittens? No! So take that, all you Goldman Sachs (GS) haters!The high-powered investment bank has paid thousands of dollars in veterinary bills and found homes for five kittens born in its still-under-construction headquarters building in New York.
Awww! But, as is the norm with Goldman, this did not come without some controversy.
Goldman offered to pay the kittens' vet bills last August and encourage its employees to adopt them, according to The Villager. But as it turns out, months went by with no action.
"It may be just a matter of Goldman waiting to get the vet invoices — we can’t imagine they’d stiff kittens while writing out bonus checks worth $23 billion — but the cats still need adoptive homes," The Villager wrote in an editorial.
But after that editorial came out, Goldman decided to pay. A Goldman spokesman tells the Financial Times that the kittens "are now the luckiest kittens in Manhattan."
Nice job, Goldman. A few more moves like this and you may be able to live down that "God's work" comment.

Goldman Sachs owns Litton Loan, the most despicable lending institution on the face of the earth. No wonder they're trying to do something humane they have screwed every customer who made the mistake of getting a mortgage through them. Google these parasites and see what you think about Goldman Sachs after you read the horror stories about Litton Loan. They need to be shut down ASAP. Forget the cats help your clients who are losing their homes idiots.
— but the cats still need adoptive homes,"
That would seem to say it all.
All those GS employees and not one(???) could offer up a home for a kitten???
We shouldn't be surprised they're not the warm and fuzzy type.
Paid thousands of dollars in vet bills for 5 kittens?
This just confirms that investment people are stupid.
While I am a long time pet owner, I would never pay thousands of dollars to save a pet. A family member? YES. A pet, no.
I'm glad for the kittens, but does this actually need any type of coverage? No...
GS is just trying to makeuse go "aww" in the hopes that we'll do a 360 and trust them
Goldman Sachs is guilty of high treason, extorting the US & other nations out of TRILLIONS!! They have subverted the government, placing their pawns in position of power.
Life in prison for all current and former G.S. board members.
