This has been a year like no other. It’s been rough on people and animals. But it’s not all bad news. WNYC's Amy Pearl visited the place where lost pets go: an animal care center in Manhattan. There she met Queenie, a big black and white cat with green eyes who'd found his way to the shelter all the way from the Bronx.
