Just days before Christmas, RCR learned that one of our former rescues, Bear, had been surrendered to the Regina Humane Society at 11 year of age. Her owner’s health had deteriorated and he was no longer able to care for her after many years together.

We quickly arranged to pick Bear up and she was taken to one of our partner vet clinics, but we were challenged to find a foster placement for poor Bear so close to Christmas. Everyone was busy and full and Bear was depressed and sad at the clinic. Our hearts broke for her. Thankfully, Bear had a Christmas angel on her side and a kind woman who had recently submitted an application to foster happily agreed to take Bear! This was the best Christmas present we could have received and it turned out to be a great match.

Bear quickly bonded with her foster mom and she settled in well, getting plenty of attention and affection. Her spirits rebounded and her sweet and loving personality shone through.

RCR is incredibly grateful to the kind person who took in a sad senior cat and is loving her with everything she’s got. We thank her for proving that Christmas magic is real - you just have to believe!
