Rita was rescued from a local Veterinarian's office where her owners had brought her to be destroyed. You see, Rita had a small hernia on her stomach that was in need of an operation. Instead of paying for the operation or looking for alternative solutions, she was given a death sentence. Luckily for Rita, a caring vet tech in the office realized the problem could easily be fixed. She contacted C.A.R.E. to see if they had room for the kitten. Rita was rescued! Her hernia was corrected at the same time she was spayed. She was good as new. After recovering, Rita set out on a mission to find a new home. Everyday she carefully positioned herself in a prime spot in the Annie's Cat House. She would sprawl out belly up on the bench in the center of the cat house carefully watching for just the right person to walk in. It wasn't long before she found herself some new owners! Rita now has a family! She has two loving parents and a sister dog named Katie and a rotten brother cat named Frog! She spends her days lounging in the sun and bringing tremendous joy to the world around her.

She is truly a blessing!

Rita is just one of many C.A.R.E. success stories!
