Uncle Fester
The content look of an outside kitty who is finally safe.
The horrible things humans think is ok to do to
an innocent animal. That is bird shot, I would guess from
a very close range. We were horrified when we saw the x-ray!

Uncle Fester spent his life trying to stay out of the way
of people who might do him harm, cars, and other dangers
of life for a blind cat. This was his story, until he came to
BCR in 2018. By the time a good Samaritan had alerted
someone about this poor cat who had been looking for food,
he’d been through so much. When he got to BCR, he
had many wounds and a broken leg that had healed
incorrectly. It’s most likely that Uncle Fester lost his sight
due to an untreated upper respiratory infection. When we
took Fester to the vet for his first thorough medical exam,
his X-ray revealed that he had been shot at close range with
bird-shot. Those pellets are still visible under his skin.
Although they aren’t painful, they are there as a reminder of
his past. However, Uncle Fester’s story has a very happy
ending! This kind and gentle cat today lives a safe,
healthy life full of love and attention. Despite his horrible
life on the street and the abuse he suffered, he is now in a
place where he will never be abused, afraid or hungry
again. He is – in spite of all he’s endured - a very loving
cat who still loves and trusts people. Uncle Fester is also a
great friend to his fellow BCR cats, always trying to make
new arrivals to his room feel safe. All of them like to cuddle
with him!
