Manhattan, New York – At nine years of age, a senior cat named Bella finds herself homeless and in need of rescue from a busy New York City Animal Care Center. Bella’s owner had “conflict” between her cat and dog and decided the dog could stay, but Bella had to leave.
Now, Bella is urgently in need of help. According to shelter staff, she has developed an upper respiratory infection, and she is struggling at the facility. A volunteer noted that Bella is a “sensitive soul” who “needs time to decompress.” Though Bella is clearly lonely and confused, she still enjoys the gentle touch of a volunteer’s hand, and the soft voice of a friendly visitor.
At this stage of her life, Bella should be lounging on the couch or seeking out sunny spots in a home. She should be living a life of luxury, not sitting in an unfamiliar cage, with nothing or no one to comfort her.
Bella’s profile indicates that she needs “emergency placement” and this means that time is of the essence.
Please share Bella’s information and help her find her way out of this facility, and into a home where she can thrive.

That owner belongs in hell!
What’s piece of shit owner to throw the poor cat away! I hope that scum dies a horrible lonely death
Agreed heartless BITCH !
not the first time that Americans ditch a cat they have had for a dog. there was even a case in CA when a senior cat was thrown away because roommate’s adopted dog did not get along with that kitty
So glad Bella was adopted!!! Whoever owned her is a horrible person and she should be on a list that never allows her to adopt another cat. That is absolutely horrible what she did to that poor cat just threw it away like garbage.!!
Per NYC Urgent Cats FB post, Bella was adopted!
On the other hand, horrible to see how many animals didn’t make it out alive 🙁
sad
