Blind Gender: Female Approximate age: Arrived From: Washington, DC Arrival Day: 2006 Serena started life in a hoarding situation created by a very well-meaning elderly gentleman who was feeding all the local stray cats in his area. He meant well but since none of the cats were fixed, they kept reproducing and the group got bigger and bigger. Someone got involved and made some calls for help. A wonderful rescuer stepped up but was not aware of what she was really up against. Serena was one of about 50 cats and many litters of kittens living in the area. Many of the kittens were sick and Serena’s eyes were nearly ruptured when she was rescued. Her rescuer wanted to be sure Serena had a safe and loving place to go and called us. When she knew Serena would be safe, she had her eyes removed and got her on medications. When Serena was better another wonderful person drove her Washington, DC. If she had not come to BCR, it’s certain Serena would have been euthanized. Serena grew into a beautiful shy kitty who loves to cuddle with the other cats. In 2022, Serena developed hyperthyroidism and received radiation therapy, which cured her. Sometimes Serena lives up to her nickname, Serena Ballerina, by going in circles, nothing harmful, it’s just her way. You may see her on our live 24-hour cameras in House 2, Room 3. House 2,
