Caroline Thanks Her Guardian Angel - I've been adopted!

My Story:
My name is Caroline. I was rescued from outside one cool, rainy morning last fall by an RCHS volunteer. I was a very, very thin gal around the age of 8, been through a lot, and was in dire need of medical attention. The volunteer took me to the vet to get fixed up and fully vetted, and I was placed on hold to see if my past owner would reclaim me. Sadly, they never did, but RCHS was able to take me into their program. I have struggled off and on with sneezing and sinus infections among other things. To make sure I was receiving the best care possible, RCHS's cat coordinator took me to K-State Vet Med, to see what really was going on. It was found that I have a birth defect that left me with a hole in the roof of my mouth. We are certain that this hole causes me more discomfort than sneezing and sinus infections. The vets at K-State are going to try to repair my hole.
Teamwork:
Caroline is truly an awesome cat, who is super sweet. She will be 100% adoptable as soon as she gets fixed up. Caroline is very much one lucky girl that an RCHS volunteer rescued her. Her story is a great example not only how RCHS helps animals in the community, but also how the community helps make a difference. Caroline's procedure is being paid for by a great community supporter. This truly shows how if we all work together, we can make a difference one paw at a time.
Making a Difference:
Are you interested in helping making a difference in our community for companion animals? There are numerous ways you can help!
How can you help Caroline? Thanks to the generosity of a community supporter, her medical expenses are paid. However, after Caroline is healed, she will be ready for her 'furever' home. If you have room in your home and heart for a new furry friend, we would all love to close this chapter of RCHS with the perfect ending for Caroline. This sweetheart deserves nothing less.
