A Fleeting Moment with Flurry

Flurry was a fighter but succumbed to her injuries

It’s been a tough winter so far with so much snow and severe weather already, and many frozen cats. Sweet Flurry came into our care late on December 30th after being discovered frozen in a snowbank on the side of the road in a Regina bedroom community. Her little paws were blocks of ice and she was twitching with pain.

We rushed her to the 24 Hour Animal Care Centre where we discovered that Flurry was not just a victim of the elements - she had been hit by a car and suffered severe internal injuries.

Hoping for the best, the vet proceeded with diagnostics but it soon became apparent that Flurry had sustained several catastrophic injuries that impacted her lungs, trachea and caused anemia from the internal bleeding. With multiple issues and an uncertain prognosis, the sad decision was made to relieve Flurry of her suffering.

We didn’t get a chance to get to know Flurry, but we are very grateful that she was found and didn’t pass away suffering in a snowbank. A dedicated RCR volunteer was by her side to provide love and comfort as she crossed the rainbow bridge. Special thanks goes out to her rescuer and the volunteer who raced to the clinic to be with her.

Unfortuately, Flurry had no identification so we have no way of knowing if she had a family that might be looking for her.

As always, RCR is grateful for our community support. Please visit Regina Cat Rescue for information on how to donate or volunteer.
