Little Lily of Halfway Home Pet rescue has made a full recovery after the splinting of her deformed legs. According to HHPR President Norma Milton, Lily happily welcomed herself home after her medical procedures and spent an hour a day for two weeks bonding with her new owner until Lily was ready to be transferred to her permanent home and is reportedly doing just great; Lily adores the other cat in the home and they sleep and play together as though they were littermates. HHPR volunteers will hold a Chicken barbecue at 97 Bennett Drive (Sports Inn) at 4 p.m. on Friday, August 12 during the Caribou Cares About Kids events. Rain date for the barbecue is Saturday, August 13 at 4 p.m. Additional information about the HHPR can be obtained by visiting www.halfwayhomepetrescue.org or calling 492-1722 for information about cats and kittens available for adoption.

Lily’s legs are now perfect and she can live a full and normal life in her new home. According to HHPR President Norma Milton, the hospital staff became immensely fond of Lily and nicknamed her Paddles (because of her casts).
