NorthJersey.com The cat formerly known as Mr. Woo has a new lease on life after one of Paterson's bravest pulled the feline from a March 7 fire. He has new digs, a new family and a new name now, but for a time things looked grim. The apartment fire on Fair Street displaced 18 people and resulted in a daring rescue of a man and his toddler daughter. It also upended the small world of Mr. Woo, who was hiding under a bed on the third floor when a firefighter from Paterson 1 discovered him and pulled him out. "He was covered in smoke and soot, his paws were purple, [he was] dehydrated and lethargic," said Paterson Firefighter Michael Scherer. "He had wheezing and crackling in the lungs from smoke inhalation. He wouldn’t eat or drink or use the litter box."
