Happy update, February 19: Bella and Diva are safe and warm in a Staten Island foster home…now to find them a forever home!
Bella and Diva in their foster home
From our friends at the Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition:
Sweet, tiny, and abandoned, 18-month-old Bella and Diva were taped into a box and thrown onto a garbage pile in sub-freezing temperatures. A local trap-neuter-release colony caretaker saw the box moving and rescued these girls before they froze to death.
Friendly and talkative, these girls were left with a note, written, apparently, by a caretaker who could no longer meet that responsibility. It’s possible that they were left somewhere safer, then tossed out by whoever found them.
Bella (left) and Diva
Bella is outgoing, talkative, and a devoted lap cat who loves to snuggle and give kitty kisses. Despite her name, Diva is a little shyer, but loves having her chin scratched and follows her sister’s lead.
We desperately need a responsible foster or adoptive home for Bella and Diva! They are adorable, sweet felines who have survived a horrid situation, and they deserve a safe home. The girls are OK with other friendly cats who give them space, but would love to be a caretaker’s special kitties. They are currently in a temporary home and spending most of their time in a crate. Wherever they go next, they will need to stay together.
Bella and Diva are spayed, fully vaccinated, FIV/
