Where Your Donation Goes
Eli was rescued after being hit by a car. Near death, he had a broken pelvis and dislocated hip. Surgery saved his leg and his life. But he was feral and no one could handle him. After all he had been through, euthanasia was being considered! That's when BDRF got a call and Eli joined the family. He hid in corners, frightened and alone. With patience and time he learned to trust more and more.
Popcorn was part of a feral colony and was found one day with a large gash on the side of his face. A local rescue took him in and they reached out for help.
The vet treated Popcorn's wound, reattaching the skin where he could. It looks like Popcorn had a bad run-in with a fence or something else that tore his skin. It didn’t seem to be from a fight or abuse. After several rounds of antibiotics and wound treatments, we could not save his eye, and he had surgery to remove it.
Although he was found in a feral colony, it is likely Popcorn once had a home with humans and ended up thrown out or abandoned.
It's not often you get a call from the Beardsley Zoo looking to place a big cat! OK, a big house cat! A large, 18-pound feral cat that had wandered into the zoo. We took him in and named him Theodore. Not only is he feral, we discovered he is almost completely blind! We worked with him to make him feel at home and to become our "teddy bear.”
