Happy New Year from everyone at CHCR.
Our simple, but mighty wish, is that all homeless kitties find a loving home!
It's been a tough year for rescues. Our economy has meant less money for donations, less adoptions as people struggle to pay for food and housing, and more people, sadly dumping their cats on the streets.
Despite that we've had a successful year with 119 adoptions, successful events and fundraising allowing us to care and pay for them all.
And we couldn't have done it without your support! And the support of our volunteers and fosters!

URGENTLY NEEDS A HOME OR FOSTER!!!!!
Meet Bella, a 4-1/2 year old female DSH who was born with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) a condition that affects her balance and coordination.
She has a very endearing personality and she has adjusted to her foster home remarkably well. Sadly our foster is no longer able to care for her and we are currently trying to find another foster home or permanent home for her.
She requires a low sided litter box that she can easily access, surrounded by puppy pads in case she overshoots. There have been no issues with her using her litter box in her foster home. A carpeted home on one level would be best to help her get around more easily but she is able to traverse the bare floors in her foster home without losing her balance. She can climb a cat tree but needs something to cushion her landing when she propels herself off. She cannot jump into a chair or couch, so pulls herself up. She uses a scratching post or the carpet on her tree to sharpen her claws.
Her method of communicating is by short little squeaks or chirps. She had never met a dog but is very comfortable in the presence of the Golden Retriever in her foster home, who has claimed her as her own personal animated squeaky toy.
She loves head pats and tummy rubs and playing with her favorite toys. When she sleeps, she sandwiches herself between two blankets.
Adopting a CH kitty is a very rewarding experience as they teach you so much about courage, determination and adaptability.
Bella has no other health issues and would have the same life expectancy as a normal cat.

Helping us measure how cute they are at PetSmart Cambridge. The answer is off the charts!!!
The calls for help aren't stopping. Our current fosters are full. We are a foster based rescue meaning we can only rescue what has a spot in a foster home.
If you have a spare room and some love to give you could be a foster. Experience with cats is a must as all these cats are off the street and need to learn to trust humans again. We supply everything you need. Food. Litter. Litter Box. Toys.
