Maurice

/

RCR welcomed a special rescue recently after being contacted about a farm cat that was blind and struggling to use his back legs. His name is Maurice, and it was believed that he had been attacked by a coyote or a fox. We had him examined by a vet, and it turned out that Maurice is indeed visually impaired. He has also suffered neurological damage to his back legs from some sort of trauma, which makes it hard for him to walk.

Despite his condition, Maurice is one of the sweetest cats we've ever met and he quickly stole the hearts of volunteers. He does have some vision and likes to lean in for head bops once he detects your hand. Maurice loves attention - he gets comfort from being with people. He also loves his food and has been devouring every last bite.

Maurice is getting lots of love while he recovers. With his adorable little face and loving, gentle personality, we know an adopter is sure to fall in love and give him a forever home. Until then, we are happy to have the opportunity to care for sweet Maurice.

The Story of Adorable Declan

We love sharing stories with happy endings!

Declan is happy to be safe and sound

Declan was first spotted weeks ago, when a Lakeview citizen started noticing cat food disappearing. Declan was wandering all around and he was even spotted on a fence a few doors down where he was mistaken for a squirrel’s nest, due to his matted coat! With the help of binoculars, the kind citizen realized it was actually a fluffy kitty!

Fuzzy Declan, who was not sterilized or ID’d, was posted all over Facebook in an attempt to get him the help he deserved. Then, the kind citizen reached out to us and Declan was quickly scooped up and whisked off to the safety of the indoors by one of our volunteers.

He has been checked out by a vet and is overall healthy, but he has a heart murmur that we will be monitoring. Declan is feeling much lighter now that he has said goodbye to his matted coat!

RCR is grateful for supporters and volunteers who make this possible.
