A dramatic CAT rescue: The story of Tater

'One rainy evening after work I chose a different route to go home. . . Coming down Jamestown Hill . . . and discovered in the road a small blob of what appeared to be a kitten. He was hunkered down in the lane as cars drove over him unnoticed. I immediately turned my car to block both lanes and come to his rescue,' Wendy Gousha writes. And that event changed Tater's fortunes forever

It warms my heart and puts a smile on my face to know that I chose to live in this wonderful community surrounded by loving and caring people.

Not only do the people of this county come together for individuals / families in need they also aide in the caring for our four legged friends.



One rainy evening after work I chose a different route to go home, not knowing why I didn't go my normal routine, I proceeded down Jamestown hill and discovered in the road a small blob of what appeared to be a kitten. He was hunkered down in the lane as cars drove over him unnoticed.

I immediately turned my car to block both lanes and come to his rescue.

Traffic stopped with no choice and I am sure some were aggravated, but this little creature ran to me, scared and soiled with tar, I took him home to Little Cake, gave him 2 baths, wrapped him in a warm towel and as he slept on the sofa, we wondered how I was guided to go a different way home that night.

To this day I call 'Tater' my best rescue yet. So thank you to all the "four legged guardians" who are always there in crisis and do what they can to help those who depend so greatly on us. - Wendy Gousha
