Somehow I Get By


This pretty orange female as been living stray in a North-West Regina neighbourhood for months, suffering frostbite to her ears, ear mites and hunger.

Fortunately, she made her way into the yard of a kind and animal-loving family who set up a shelter for her and make sure she is fed and has a safe, secure spot to stay. Every night, she turns up on their doorstep for her evening meal. Gradually, they have won her trust and now the evening visits include serious lap time and cuddling.

They were able to get the cat's tattoo number, and the owners were contacted but didn't want her back, saying that she'd run away a long time ago and they couldn't care less about her (no wonder the poor thing ran away!)

For now, her rescuers are providing very good care to her as an outdoor cat, and she is on the wait-list for foster care so she doesn't have to spend another winter outside. Her needs are definitely being met, but she is a sweet and snuggly cat who would love to have a real home again, so we will do our best to make that happen! For now, she is known as "Outdoor Kitty".
