Here Kitty Kitty says “Yes!” to Col. Potter!

Here Kitty Kitty, a Beautiful 9-10 year old Wheaten Female

Last week, Col. Potter was contacted by a shelter about a Cairn that had been dumped there by her family.  She had some medical issues going on, such as needing a dental desperately, a lump on her side, and urinating blood, so was "Rescue only".  We had her picture, an adorable little Wheaten Cairn girl who was reported to be very playful, sweet, housebroken, and loving.

Unfortunately, CP had no available Foster Homes and had to actively recruit one before being able to commit to rescuing this little Cairn, which we were able to offer just a little more than 24 hours later.

The following morning, we got an urgent message from the shelter that they had just read our second communication and needed to know right then if we would take her.  You see, they needed a Rescue commitment by Noon or she would be making the trip to the euthanasia room.  By the time we got the message back from the shelter it was already 12:20 PM.  Were we too late?  Was she already gone?...  We made the call and literally snatched her out of the euthanasia room!

Foster Homes are the backbone of many Rescue groups, including Col. Potter.  We can only rescue as many Cairns as we have Foster Homes able to care for them.  This little girl was very fortunate in the end, but others may not be as lucky.  Maybe we can't save them all, but let's try to never again be in a position like we were in with this little girl where we Almost couldn't help because we didn't have a foster home available. 

And now it gives us great pleasure to introduce “Here Kitty Kitty”, a donated name from  Janet Reep M who wonders if sometimes these little guys would like it if we would just stand in the yard, say "Here Kitty Kitty” and have an unsuspecting cat appear so that it could be chased away as prey?...  Janet and a fellow Rescue friend were having a tough day when she wondered this out loud and it made them both smile. 

This is one fortunate little girl to have the CP family behind her.  We're hoping for a very positive outcome from her vetting to get her healthy again, but that all costs money.  Every little bit helps, so if you would like to contribute to Here Kitty Kitty's medical expenses, please send your checks to:

Welcome Zuri To The Col. Potter Family

Zuri has joined the CP family. Zuri means "beautiful" in a foreign language. She is three and a half years old and a little girl, 12 lbs., but is underweight. She was an owner surrender - due to the families schedule they could not give her the care that she needs. She has diabetes and possibly exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). She is now with Cheryl P. Cheryl is a nurse and is very knowledgeable of the special care that Zuri will need. She will be feeling much better very soon and be ready for a forever home that understands her condition and can provide the care she needs. Thanks Cheryl and Steve for stepping up to foster Zuri. Thanks to all the foster homes that are so willing to open their homes and hearts to these cairns. Without you we could not help these furkids. If you are thinking of fostering please just take the steps and do it! You will not be sorry. There are more at the door that need our help!
