When Figaro was rescued, he was a small kitten on the streets of New York City suffering from significant face damage. He needed medical attention immediately since his injuries were so bad that half of his face was missing. Meagan Licari of Puppy Kitty NYC was devastated when she saw Figaro for the first time at the animal hospital. Small and afraid, he was hardly recognisable. Until Meagan intervened, no one was interested in adopting a cat with such severe wounds.
Though the exact cause of Figaro’s injuries is unknown, the veterinarians surmised that he may have been bitten by a larger animal or had come into touch with live wire. Figaro courageously endured two reconstructive procedures, including the extraction of the majority of his teeth from one side of his mouth, in order to aid in his recovery. Figaro had a challenging beginning, but his tenacity was evident. He changed from a scared kitten into a kind and loving cat throughout his stay in the hospital as he gradually started to trust Meagan and the staff.
Discovering His Eternal House
Figaro recovered and thrived for an additional two weeks while being cared for by Meagan as a foster after spending a month in the hospital. He was free of his agony and joyfully welcomed his new life. Figaro’s fun side came out despite some residual concerns about face washes and prescription drugs. He cherished being the first to the food bowl, cuddling up on Meagan’s pillow, and observing birds from the windowsill. Meagan understood she could never let him go as she saw him develop.

A Proof of Salvation
In spite of her original intention to foster Figaro until he found a permanent home, Meagan quickly came to the conclusion that Figaro had already found his forever home—with her. His narrative demonstrates the effectiveness of rescue and the belief that even the most difficult instances are worthy of hope. After being declared “unadoptable” because of his wounds, Figaro is now enjoying a loving, happy existence. “He means the world to me,” Meagan exclaims. He is both the reason I rescue and evidence that it is effective.
Every animal, regardless of their background, is worthy of a second opportunity, as demonstrated by Figaro’s metamorphosis and his story.
