Update: two amazing girls

Kaslo


Our incredibly friendly feral kitten Kaslo has now gone to a forever home. After just four days at the No. 5 Road shelter, she was adopted along with a 5-6 year old female named Licorice. Simone, who works at both the city shelter and the sanctuary, tells me Licorice has been waiting a while for adoption - so great news that she's found a home! As for Kaslo, it's hard to believe that just three months ago she was living under a bush at a feeding site.


Mousie


In less obviously upbeat news but every bit as much showing what RAPS is all about, longtime sanctuary resident Mousie passed away last week. This is more than a decade after the thromboembolism that could have so easily led to her being euthanized back in 2000. Now that's beating the odds!
