Carissa Update


Who remembers Carissa? She's the kitten who was found screaming outside a local bar. Here's a snapshot of her life since she was rescued by The Little Cats Rescue of New Port Richey. Carissa was cute when she arrived, but she's really blossomed into a "Magnificat!" She's truly stunning. Cheryl can't get over how loving she is.

Turned out that this little girl had a prolapsed rectum and required surgery. We named her after the lovely lady who found her. Carissa had to be confined while she healed, and it took us a month to get her well. She was a brave little girl throughout it all. Carissa was adopted by Cheryl back in early January, 2022. Cheryl believed she was about to lose her 102 year old mom and hoped to bring some joy to her mother in her last days as well as for herself. Well, those "last days" are still rolling on, and Cheryl attributes her mom's longevity to the love she gives to and gets from our little Carissa. We converse about once a week and marvel at the miracle of this kismet.

Carissa and her humans are only one example of the precious lives you help us to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome, and we thank you!
