Last month, an employee at Hearts Alive Village (an animal rescue organization in Las Vegas) found an abandoned pet package on his way to work. After opening it, he found a cat inside, which appeared to be abandoned in a parking space.

The finders rescued the cat immediately, and then found a miniature anti-loss number plate around the cat's neck. When they called the number and tried to contact the cat's owner, the original owner said that he could no longer afford to care for it and raise the cat, so he abandoned it in the hope that good people would take it in...

So Hearts Alive Village decided to take it in, and Nikki Martinez and her husband Foster Papi also welcomed it into their family and became a new member of the family.

The cat was approximately 13 years old when it was found, abandoned alone in a parking lot. Since the new baby was born, Nicky and her husband were ready to give him the "pet cat treatment" he deserved. They affectionately called her Dolly and provided her with a comfortable, quiet room to relieve the stress of abandonment.

Dolly tried to explore around her space, checked all the facilities, and then settled down by the window, which was her new favorite place.

"He has some medical issues (gastrointestinal issues and a tooth infection) and currently needs his teeth cleaned," Nikki told reporters. "Thankful that she is in a safe space where she will be cared for and loved until she is ready for her forever family."

Upon arriving at her new home, Dolly was immediately friendly and eager for attention. Not surprisingly, he quickly felt at home and had his needs taken care of.

Whenever it goes to the pet hospital for oral medication, it is a good process, as if it knows that people are helping it. Through the latest healthy diet, its stomach problems began to improve, and its appetite gradually increased.

Dolly was completely intoxicated by the feline entertainment, basking in the warm sunshine and watching the birds and cars passing by through the window.

When Nicky gently strokes its head with his hands, it becomes so comfortable that it collapses and turns to mush. Once Nikki sits on the floor, he comes chugging over with his purring motor.

Dolly craves caressing and will try to give herself to her littermate for all the attention and snuggles in the world.

Recently, after much-needed dental surgery, the tooth's disease was finally cured and it was finally able to eat without pain and discomfort. "She feels comfortable now that those infected teeth have been removed from her mouth."

As time passed, Dolly continued to grow happily. He's obsessed with snuggling up to his dog's lap and is always ready to receive their love.

Since the day it was discovered, the fate of this lovely girl has become better and better, and her body has become stronger. Dolly has a docile personality and doesn't seem to worry about getting along with other cats and dogs. Another cat in the house hisses at it, but it doesn't care either.

Despite what bad things happened before, it still believes in human love. The new owner knows its future will be bright, filled with happy purrs and endless love.
