Tupper got his name because he had a lid stuck around his neck for who knows how long. He also had an extremely damaged and infected eye,”Campagna wrote on Facebookabout the rescue.After Tupper was trapped and named, he was brought to a local animal hospital where the lid was removed. Tupper also received emergency care for his other health issues, including his wounded eye. Campagna believes the feline will ultimately lose the injured eye.Nathan Campagna/FacebookThe good news is that Tupper is now off the street and is expected to make a full recovery. Once the cat is fully healed, Animal Control plans to put Tupper up for adoption, especially since he is an affectionate cat. Tupper’s attitude could mean he used to be someone’s pet and was later abandoned.Providence Animal Control posted Tupper’s storyon their own Facebookas a reminder to everyone to be responsible about what they throw away.“No matter what you throw away, if there is an opening, an animal will put its head through! Always make a cut in anything circular before throwing it out (cereal containers like this one, yogurt cups, soda can rings, those silly plastic rings on milk jugs … you get the idea and it only take a second!),” Animal Control wrote in their post.Tupper is not up for adoption yet, but if you would like to help cover his mounting medical expenses, you can donate toProvidence Animal Control on Facebook.
