Partially Blind Gender: Female Approximate age: 9 (as of 2024) Arrived From: St. Pauls NC Arrival Day: January 26, 2016 Ella owes her life to a former BCR employee being in the right place at the right time. Having gone to the local shelter to look for a friend’s cat, the employee instead found Ella!She knew Ella’s time was running out and ran back to BCR to ask us to take her. Of course we said yes and Ella arrived with just a few hours to spare before she was to be euthanized. We were told she had been surrendered due to family problems. When she came she was a very tiny 4.6 pounds- just skin and bones. An x-ray showed that little Ella had three broken vertebra odontoid processes in her back and they were held together just by ligaments. When Ella was healthier she was spayed and her left eye, which had collapsed, was removed. She was understandably frightened when she arrived and spent a lot of time hiding. With time, care and some BCR magic, Ella is now a fun and feisty cat who spends a lot of time high up on a kuranda! She is still feisty and can be sweet or salty in a second! You can watch her on our 24/7 LIVE cameras in House 2, Room 2!
