Senior Cat Rescued From Amazon Package Finds Foster Home
A gray tabby senior cat was found curled up on an Amazon package outside a New York home. Rescuers from PuppyKittyNYCity (PKNYC) located the cat, named him Maribel, and noted he was in poor health.
Veterinarians diagnosed Maribel with heart disease, asthma, and another illness that required hospitalization and treatment. After recovery efforts, PKNYC sought a quieter environment for him and posted on social media to find a foster home.
A foster caregiver accepted Maribel, moving him from a shelter kennel to a peaceful home where he can continue to recover. Maribel still has a history of heart disease and asthma, and his long-term recovery and permanent adoption status remain unconfirmed.
PKNYC hopes Maribel’s experience encourages others to foster cats still waiting in shelters, especially seniors with medical needs.
