Animal shelters in New York are rescuing the pets of COVID-19 patients who have passed away due to the disease, such as the Animal Care Centers of NYC, which has already rescued 40 animals. Meanwhile, a cat left behind by its 82-year-old owner was rescued on April 21, New York Daily News reported last Wednesday, April 29. Since the man was hospitalized, Zaborowski has been dropping off food and water in the COVID-19 patient’s apartment. After the man’s death, Zaborowski emailed several animal rescue groups including Animal Haven, which immediately responded to the woman’s message. The animal group was able to rescue the animal and named the cat Winter while it is waiting to be adopted.
