Lets Chat About Cats - Episode 24 Featuring Meagan Licari and Figaro The Survivor Kitten

LetsChatAboutCatsPodcast

Figaro was found outside in January of 2019 with severe facial trauma. He was brought to the vet for care and surgery to try and save his life.
Puppy Kitty NY City was the organisation who took on the care of Figaro and whilst he was recovering in the clinic Meagan was visiting him and was going to be the one fostering him until he found a home.
Around the same time another cat (to be later named Corona) came in with similar facial injuries but just not as severe as Figaro's. Both kittens were to be fostered by Meagan and her husband however after sometime they both realised they did not wish to part with them and so they became members of their family and found their golden basket.
Figaro has gone from strength to strength in his recover and Meagan explains a little bit more about his surgeries and how they have helped him and his current beauty regime that keeps him not only healthy but looking glamorous and beautiful.
Figgy has gone through so much in his short life but does not let anything stop him, he is always somewhere playing, having fun, being naughty or demanding love. Even during our chat Figaro was almost in front of the screen the whole time being centre of attention, being cuddled, pampered and finally playing. He is such a sweet and funny guy you cannot help but love him for his sweetness.
Meagan wrote a book called "The Story Of A Kitten Who Beat The Odds" and is written to encourage children who may be going through hospital visits the same as Figaro did whilst he was recovering and to show them that it does not have to be scary at all. They too can be brave like Figgy. If you visit the Instagram of Figaro you can click on the linktree and purchase this or Meagan would be happy to send copies to children who may be going through some difficult time.
The Puppy Kitty NY City is a fantastic organisation who previously ran without a physical shelter and from home but recently have new premises in Queens NY and can now take in more animals and save lives. Meaghan fills me in on that and also the super initiative called the Barn Cat Initiative which raises awareness of feral cats who cannot go back to the streets and places them in new secure homes in Barns or Sanctuary's where they can live a great life in the way they feel most comfortable, for we know ferals enjoy being free and aren't exactly lap cats but still deserve to live and be happy too.
