Ella
Gender: Female
Approximate age:
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 spet 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!
