Isaac, a cat missing since a deadly building collapse in Brooklyn, has been found and reunited with his owner, teenager Zariah Coleman. The rescue brought relief after Coleman had described her distress at being unable to search the rubble, and highlights the efforts to recover pets after the disaster.

Rescue workers found Isaac after days of searching; he is now receiving veterinary care. Mayor Zohran Mamdani credited the city Department of Buildings, Flatbush Cats and the Mayor’s Office of Animal Welfare for helping locate him. The collapse on Flatbush Avenue killed eight people and injured 19.
