6/25/25: A caring employee at a local business in St. Clair Shores found a sick baby kitten affectionately named Sparky. She reached out for help and found a woman named Karen to foster the baby. Karen contacted us in need of assistance to take care of this tiny sick kitten.
We offered to cover an exam, vaccines when ready, and everything needed to get her checked and healthy.
6/24/25: Fig was found as a stray falling over, trouble seeing, and drooling. The rescuer, Amanda, was not willing to give up on him. She contacted us for help and we offered to have him examined at Orion Animal Hospital where they did bloodwork and x-rays. He was in very bad shape and his prognosis is guarded but Amanda is treating him with the recommendations from the vet while making sure he is safe and loved.
She sent me an update that Fig is making improvements very slowly but she feels confident he is progressing in a good way. We hope that this will be the beginning of a long quality of life for him once he overcomes his illness. We do not know the underlying cause at this time, but prayers and positive thoughts for Fig and Amanda for giving him a chance.
6/20/25: Mr. Minnie appeared in a colony of cats with an injury and sealed shut eye. He was posted on lost and found pages but no one claimed him. The kind woman who was feeding the colony asked if we would help get him examined and treated by a veterinarian so that she could give him a second chance at a healthy life and a path to a loving home. We offered to help and yesterday I received an update that she found him a permanent home and he is doing amazing!
6/17/25: This baby was found with a severe eye infection causing one of his eyes to rupture. We were contacted to help with the cost of the eye removal surgery which is happening tomorrow, June 18. Please say a prayer that all goes well for this baby now named “Uno”. This is a major surgery for a tiny kitten but I’m sure he is in good hands with the doctors and staff.
6/11/25 – UPDATE – A couple weeks ago sweet tiny Cali was found on the highway. She was bruised up but with some basic medical care and around the clock love her rescuer says she is thriving.
6/1/25 This baby was “thrown out” on M5 which is a busy highway. Her eyes are full of pus and her back is scraped up.
It’s very sad that people can be so cruel but we are thankful for the rescuers who don’t ignore an innocent animal in need. This could have been a lot worse. We approved getting her the help she needs and also the standard vetting. The rescuer is calling her “Cali.”
6/11/25 – UPDATE: Garrick is healing wonderfully from his MAKOR Stomatitis procedure, but he will be in today for a recheck on his skin. There are a couple of spots that are raw with hairloss, and we are unsure why. Otherwise, his foster, mom and dad said he is very talkative, very lovable, and he enjoys food so very much!
5/20/25 – UPDATE: It was a 2 hour procedure, but hopefully it saved his life. This sweet boy had bleeding ulcers in his mouth and throat from the reaction he was having to the bacteria on his teeth. As a result, all of the teeth needed to be removed to prevent reoccurring infection. This is from a condition called Stomatitis, and there is no known cause.
The doctor said this was the most severe case she has ever seen in a cat, and the swelling was so bad I had a really hard time intubating. This poor boy had to be in an enormous amount of pain, yet he remained so very gentle over the last few weeks since being found outside.
4/29/25 Garrick needs our help. He was found outside in rough shape, pawing at the side of his face and drooling excessively.
Santa Zhugra secured him and contacted us for help. Moore Veterinary Hospital was able to get him in yesterday morning and his care was way more involved than expected. It was quickly noticed that his mouth was awfully painful, swollen, teeth rotten, gums bleeding, and horrid odor. He was dirty, weak, and very dehydrated. His jaw wouldn’t close properly maybe from so much swelling and inflammation. He needed full mouth x-rays, 9 extractions, ears cleaned, flea treatment, x-ray for an abdominal wound with internal scarring, bloodwork, a leukemia FIV test, and everything took about 2 hours under anesthesia.
A fecal was sent out, injections were given, and he is hospitalized on IV fluids, pain meds, warmies, and antibiotics.
I went to check on him last night before bed and he had lapped up his slurry of wet food. I was so happy!!!!! To be honest. He has a long road ahead, but if he can eat that’s what matters right now!
He will be going to a foster today or tomorrow and looking for a forever home. No more living on the streets. Here are some pics from his procedure yesterday.
If you can help with his care please donate. Thank you ♡

6/9/25: Over the weekend we received an urgent email for help regarding an orphan kitten who was found on the sidewalk. He had a lot of discharge from his eyes and nose and didn’t seem stable enough to wait until Monday. We were able to authorize him getting an exam and treatment.
Here is Leo. He is adorable and I’m happy we could help him.
5/27/25 – We are covering the spay and neutering for all 5 babies and the mom. If you are interested in a kitten let me know and I will put you in touch with the rescuer. We couldn’t help all of these sweet babies without our supporters. Thank you!
5/24/25 – Meet Simon. He was being cared for by neighbors in a local trailer park. The people feeding him believe he showed up after his owners passed away. Possibly abandoned. They noticed he was getting in fights with cats in the park, and then discovered he was declawed and could not defend himself. That is when they reached out for help to Aimee M Martin Lincoln. She quickly rescued him and we helped cover his medical care. This little guy will need a forever home. If anyone is interested please contact us and we will put you in touch with Aimee.
5/23/25 – This baby kitten named “Kerrygold” was found with a very large umbilical hernia. She is only 1.8 pounds and surgery on a kitten this small is a risk. However, not doing surgery is also very dangerous because the intestines can become strangulated and she could die.
We have approved covering the surgery and it will be performed at Comfort’s Place Veterinary Hospital, so that this baby can get the care she needs.
Please keep Kerrygold in your thoughts and prayers as she takes this next step towards a healthier and happier future.
