Jen who fosters for City Dogs and City Kitties Rescue (in Washington DC), was contacted about a kitten with a damaged eye. He had been brought into a local shelter and was in desperate need of rescue.
“City Kitties immediately jumped into action and agreed to take him in. I drove over to get him and then went straight to an emergency vet, where they removed the ruptured cornea,” Jen shared
Despite being left with one eye, the prospect of the kitten was so much brighter. He slowly began to learn to adjust to indoor life.

Jen’s husband Ian came to offer some pets and encouragement. He spent ample time with his feline buddy, reassuring him that he was safe
Uno quickly adjusted to being a ‘pirate’ but it took him a few weeks to warm up to humans. I used to carry him around in my sweatshirt to get him used to being near people,” Jen told Love Meow.
“He would hide in the strangest places, which is funny to look back at now, because he now runs this household.
Once he was ready to meet the resident cats, he was a bit unsure at first about all the vagaries as he ventured into unchartered territories. Jen helped him acclimate to open spaces in the house by chauffeuring him around
Hagrid, one of the resident cats, took the kitten under his wing. He decided to show him the ropes, teach him courage, and pass onto him important feline wisdom that he could live by.
