EVERETT - Police in a Massachusetts city are asking if anyone recognizes a kitten with a "heart-shaped nose and strawberry dress."

Everett Animal Control said the cat wearing a white dress with strawberries and a red bow was found "curled up in a driveway" by the Parlin School on Broadway.

"We are calling her Strawberry since the young Good Samaritan, who helped her, named her that," animal control said.
