Cara was discovered by a neighbour to Summeridge Animal Clinic, your Thornhill Vet  sitting on the sidewalk in front of a house in her neighbourhood.  Nobody could recall seeing her before.  She is a very striking cat:  folded ears, white colouring with gold markings (she’s a flamepoint Scottish Fold) and walks like Charlie Chaplin (front paws point outwards rather than straight ahead).  After determining that she did not belong to anyone in the neighbourhood, she was brought to Summeridge Animal Clinic, your Thornhill Vet to discover if she was carrying a microchip or any other determining factors to discover where she belonged.  All enquiries turned up negative.

We agreed to give her a temporary home here at the clinic until such time as she was claimed.  No one even enquired concerning her whereabouts despite notices being posted in the neighbourhood and announcements being made by schools in the area.  She was transferred to Vaughan Animal Services.  After two weeks and no one showing any interest in her, Cara was transferred back to our clinic.

Since joining our little family here at your Summeridge Animal Clinic, your Thornhill Vet, Cara (as she was named by one of our staff members because of her resemblance to caramilk), Cara has settled right into her new life as a clinic cat.  She has reserved her favourite spots, discovered where the food is kept and laid claim to anything that takes her fancy.  She is especially partial to lying on the printer covers (while they are still sitting on the printers) and sitting on Dr. Bouchard’s lap in her office. 

Cara is always interested in meeting new people who she can charm them with her sweet, pleasant personality.  So please feel free to drop by and ask about her. 

She stepped out into the open area near a driveway.  She was small, cold, tiny, scared and terribly hungry.  She could barely see, one eye almost completely closed; the other barely functioning.  She was a small kitten who had been abandoned by her mother because she was smaller than her littermates and would probably not survive a cold winter. 

A good Samaritan found her and brought her into Summeridge Animal Clinic, located in Thornhill, Vaughan.  She devoured the food we provided her in record time and then treated with eye medication.  She is alive today because of our good Samaritan who has now adopted her and given her a home.

We, at the Summeridge Animal Clinic, your Thornhill Vet, applaud the actions of our good Samaritan and Betty Bo, even though she’s a feral kitten, shows her gratitude by snuggling up to his shoulder and neck or cuddles in a warm towel on his lap.

In our efforts to assist our good Samaritan and ensure the best opportunity for her to grow and thrive, Summeridge Animal Clinic, located in Thornhill, Vaughan has offered Betty Bo kitten daycare so that she can continue to get her eye drops which she needs 4-6 times a day.

We, at Summeridge Animal Clinic, your Thornhill Vaughan Animal Hospital, wish these two all the best and others will follow our good Samaritan’s example by saving the life of this tiny kitten – every life matters!
