An update on Tilly
Remember Tilly? We wanted to share an update on the progress of this special kitty. After months of treatment for a severe infection in her jaw with little success, RCR volunteers along with Tilly's vet decided the best option was to surgically remove the piece of her jaw where the infection couldn't be controlled. We're very happy to share that the surgery was a great success! Thanks to Tilly's incredible will to live, amazing vet care and TLC in foster care, this sweet kitty will soon be ready for adoption.

It takes a small army to keep RCR going, and one important role is ensuring cats at satellite adoption centres receive lots of socialization and love. That's where RCR volunteer, Roxanne Betz, comes in! Roxanne provides orientation and training to satellite adoption centre volunteers helping ensure the cats stay happy and healthy while they await adoption. Learn more about Roxanne and her role at RCR.

February's Metro Cat
Thanks to Metro Pet Market for Spaying It Forward! This month, Metro paid for Kihew's spay surgery as part of their on-going mission to foster responsible pet guardianship. Kihew was rescued by a volunteer who found her shivering, malnourished and scared on a cold winter day. A pellet was also found lodged in her leg. Now that she's recovered from her injuries and has been spayed, she's ready to find a loving forever home. View her adoption profile and for more information about Metro Pet Market, please visit metropetmarket.ca.
