Badger

Badger arrived at Blue Bell in September of 2012. This handsome black and white boy was 17 years old and came to us with several existing health issues. Originally he was a stray cat who “adopted” his owner in 1996. She started traveling extensively and could no longer give him the quality time he deserved and being alone was very stressful for him. So she arranged to have him come to Blue Bell. Being a local resident, she could still come visit him so he was able to get the daily attention he deserved from the staff and volunteers as well as loving visits from his original rescuer!

At first he was a bit shy, however he had just had two teeth extracted at the vet and was a little woozy! Plus, this was such a new environment for him. But by his third day he was settling in well to the Lower House. He loved all of the different people he got to meet and he responded to all of the attention. And the fact that he could get as many Temptation treats as he wanted. J

In December, he developed a terrible upper respiratory infection and with all of his other medical conditions, his body just started shutting down. We were all saddened we did not have more time with him.

Even though he was not with us long, he left a lasting impact on us all! We miss you little buddy!
