Neighbor Rescues Injured Cat—X-Ray Reveals the Unthinkable

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An act of concern turned into a disturbing revelation when a stray cat turned out far more injured than his rescuer realized. The cat, now named Brewster, was rushed to an emergency vet clinic by a neighbor, where it was revealed that the feline was shot in the leg. The realization led to a plea for help from North Shore Animal League America in a Facebook post, which reached at least 10,000 people who reacted to it. Initially, it was suspected that Brewster had been hit by a car, but X-rays revealed a far more sinister truth: Brewster had been shot, leaving him with a severely fractured front leg.

Brewster's life nearly ended before it had a chance to begin," it wrote. "His only option would have been euthanasia unless someone was able to where we came in." With his "shattered front leg" and no owner to afford his necessary medical care, Brewster faced the grim prospect of euthanasia. That's when the rescue stepped in, taking the tuxedo cat into its care. He was first brought to its Adirondack campus before being transported to the Port Washington, New York campus. There, a medical team grew determined to do everything possible for his injury. "They are working urgently to stabilize him and explore every option before turning to amputation as a last resort," the post read. The organization emphasized its commitment to the cat, stating, "Brewster suffered for days, but we are committed to his care and his comfort. His recovery will take time, medical expertise, and critical resources. All of which we're committed to providing for this sweet, handsome boy." How Did People React? The story of Brewster's brutal injury ignited outrage and sympathy among Facebook users. Many condemned the perpetrator who appeared to have shot the cat. "Poor Brewster! shoot a poor cat! I hope the perpetrator is caught and serves some serious jail time and fined heavily for this horrible abuse! Brewster is a handsome Tuxie cat with a cute face! Hope he heals up just fine and gets his furever home asap!" Other users shared similar experiences of finding injured strays and praised the rescue's efforts. One person recounted a personal story: "Years ago, we had a stray cat who took refuge in our garage—I left the door open just enough so he could get in—had food, water and a bed. One day, I opened the door and he was waiting for me with blood on his fur. A local rescue group took him in and got him taken care of at the vet. He had been shot, but he was okay. They named him 'Bullet.' He was fostered and ended up being so thankful for the rescue group." The broader issue of animal cruelty and the vulnerability of cats drew passionate responses. "Thank you for helping this fur baby," another commenter wrote. "Wish we could save them I wish 'saving' cats wasn't ever necessary." North Shore Animal League America is urging the public to donate now to help cover Brewster's extensive medical costs, emphasizing their commitment to providing him "the care, comfort, and second chance he truly deserves." Newsweek reached out to North Shore Animal League America for comment via email.

Oklahoma Sooners 2027 target among ESPN's best prospects
The Oklahoma Sooners are still working to shore up their 2026 recruiting class. High on their prospect board are top 100 players defensive end Jake Kreul and wide receiver Davian Groce. But as 2026 enters the final stretch, 2027 has also taken center stage as the Sooners hope to begin building momentum for next year's top prospects. 2027 four-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster has caught the eye of the Oklahoma Sooners front office and coaching staff. They've been making a significant push for the Cedar Hill prospect and have had him on campus multiple times since issuing an offer to the North Texas prospect last August. He's already trending to be one of the top players at his position by the time the 2027 cycle finishes, and ESPN's Billy Tucker considers Brewster the No. 24 high school prospect in the nation regardless of recruiting class. Possessing violent hands and excellent play strength, Brewster is a power-based pass rusher with the ability to close with surprising quickness for his size. Those are the ingredients of an elite, disruptive interior defensive lineman. Coaches praise his motor, and there's no shortage of blue bloods vying to land his commitment. - Tucker, ESPN Jalen Brewster is the No. 1 offensive tackle across the board, and the No. 6 player according to Rivals and the No. 7 player in the class according to 247Sports. Brewster already has 21 Power Four offers and is a five-star prospect in the Rivals database. The Oklahoma Sooners have done a great job recruiting the defensive tackle position over the last several years, but Brewster could be the highest-rated prospect attracted to Oklahoma by head coach Todd Bates. Rivals currently gives the Sooners an edge in their recruiting prediction machine. There's a long way to go in his recruitment, but the Sooners are in a great spot for one of the best players in the 2027 recruiting class.

Notre Dame offers the nation's best 2027 defensive lineman, Jalen Brewster
Notre Dame is trying to use its recent success on the recruiting trail, not only in the 2026 class, but in the one's following it as well. The Irish have been sending out plenty of offers to 2027 prospects, and on Monday they offered one of the country's best in Jalen Brewster. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 302-pound defensive tackle is currently a 5-star prospect, ranking as the No. 7 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite. Brewster's list of impressive offers continues to grow, as Notre Dame has joined the likes of Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State to try and win out in his recruitment. His father Robert played at Ball State and was the Dallas Cowboys third-round pick in 2009. It should come as no surprise that the Irish are once again offering the son of a former player, as they have shown a penchant for that over the last few cycles. They've had good luck luring away legacy players from other schools like 2026 linebacker Thomas Davis Jr. whose father played for UGA, and hopefully the same result with Brewster.
