Welcome Mr. Hampton!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Please help me welcome sweet Mr. Hampton, in the way best fitting a distinguished gentleman!

Mr. Hampton is a senior gentleman, age 12, who unfortunately found himself the resident of an Animal Care facility, in his golden years. While he should be spending his retirement settled in his home, surrounded by his loving family, that wasn't to be. Yet he handled himself with dignity, remaining sweet and calm, although surely he must have been confused and frightened. He probably wasn't feeling too well either, desperately in need of a dental, and passing blood in his urine. But that didn't give him cause to worry.

Kathie R. met dear Hampton when she picked him up from Animal Care to bring him to the vet. By this time he had also developed a cough. But he cuddled right into her hug, and didn't want to be put down. He accepted some food with his medicine hidden inside, and allowed the bowl to be removed even with food remaining.

A gentleman. Now a part of the CP family. A lucky gent indeed!

Mr. Hampton, it is an honor to make your acquaintance! Welcome to Col. Potter's family.
