Dumped at Least Two Times – This Sweet Boy is Looking for a Forever Home

Posted on by

3/13/15 – Let’s make this a happy Friday the 13th for this sweet boy who has been dumped not only once but TWICE. A follower of 4p1h contacted us about a cat he found freezing in below zero temperatures. The cat was very friendly and we assumed he had been abandoned or lost. Travis, the rescuer, took the freezing cat to the vet where a microchip was found. Unfortunately that particular vet gave Travis the chip number and said “Good Luck”. After days of the microchip company trying to contact the owner, Travis’ vet jumped in to help. Here is what was found — the microchip was done by the Michigan Humane Society; Travis was then able to contact the owner who told Travis that he gave the cat to a friend. Travis then contacted the friend who said that he no longer wanted the cat and “put him outside”. Who in the HE__ does this in the middle of February in below zero temperatures??? This poor mistreated boy is approximately 3 years old, neutered, and allegedly up to date on his shots. A foster/adopter is critically needed in that Travis’ is highly allergic. If you can help with this abused boy, please contact Travis at [email protected]. ~ dianatravis'dumpedcat3:13:15

Working Together – Bullys Angels Rescues Charles

Posted on by

3/12/15 Without our rescue friends, all of the dollars we spend on medical bills would be useless. Once again, we are so very happy to be able to help our friends at Bullys Angels. Here is this sweet baby’s story: diana

“This is Charles; he had an angel looking out for him the night he came into our rescue. Starved and freezing, he was mere days away from death, now he is warm, and being fed! He is very playful and affectionate, despite all he’s been through. Please follow his journey (on the Facebook page of Bullys Angels) as he heals and is prepared for his forever family to come along!”

Katniss Everdeen is Certified as a Canine Good Citizen

Posted on by

GUESS WHO IS NOW CERTIFIED AS A CANINE GOOD CITIZEN!! Katniss Everdeen!! This beautiful girl who was thrown away like a piece of garbage graduated last night in the top of her class. Her foster mommy, Carrie, has spent the last few months providing love, socialization, consistency, and training. She has given Katniss strength, support, confidence, and structure. Katniss is ready for the next step in her journey…a forever home where she will continue to thrive. We are blessed to be a part of her life, and we are grateful for everyone’s support. It is amazing for me to watch what these animals can overcome. It is what keeps me going. They know what really matters in this world…and that is trust, kindness, and respect for life. If only people could practice those few things – this world might be a better place. ♡ Ginakatnisseverdeen3:11:15

3/10/11 – Good Morning from Bridgette. This sweet momma has gone from a life filled with filth, dozens of other cats — ferals and domesticated, and little attention.
