Frozen to the pavement: Blaze the cat has 8 lives left after Regina rescue
Cassie Josephson, who fosters animals from RHS is taking care of Blaze, said when she heard about Blaze’s rescue story, she couldn’t say no.
“It breaks my heart. Honestly, this weather is just so horrifying, especially lately in this frigid weather,” she said. “I’m just very thankful that someone was able to save Blaze.”Josephson is part of the RHS foster care program, a volunteer project for families or individuals who love animals but cannot commit to having a full-time animal companion.The foster care program prepares animals for adoption into a permanent home as well as helps prevent overcrowding in the shelter.
“When it’s this cold, when they’re going up the backyard to do their business, they can still get quite cold,” he said. “Look for obvious signs, shivering, lifting paws, that kind of thing. You can still go for a walk, but maybe stick a little bit closer to home or maybe play some indoor games or learn a couple of new tricks or something when it’s this cold to stay inside.”
Blaze is expected to make a full recovery and will continue to be assessed by RHS so until then, he will be enjoying the holidays with his foster mom.
