1/15/17 – Once again, our hearts were broken this weekend by the loss of this very sweet, semi-feral kitty, George. I received a call for help from the caretaker of a cat colony in Macomb County. She had been caring for George for over a year and Saturday he showed up dragging his body and hardly able to move. It was assumed that George had been hit by a car and he crawled his way back to the colony. What do you do???? Do you only agree to pay for humane euthanasia (which is obviously the less expensive option) or do you try to give this innocent animal a chance. If he had a broken pelvis, with proper care, he can live a good life — look at our boy, Soup. If it’s a broken leg, the worst scenario, is a leg amputation and the caretaker committed to keeping George inside. Were there other issues happening internally that couldn’t be seen from outside??? Very often it’s a crapshoot. Do you spend what you know might be a considerable amount of money to try and save an animal knowing you might lose in the end? When I saw this sweet face, I had to give him a chance. George was taken to the veterinarian where several x-rays and tests were taken — unfortunately, not inexpensive services. And, after all was said and done, it was determined that George’s injuries were just too extensive to ensure surviving or even a good quality of life. He was humanely euthanized in the arms of his caretaker, Dawn. RIP sweet George. You will never be cold again, never have to worry about people hurting you, and you will never be hungry. ~ diana

1/12/17 – RIP Sweet Danny. It was October when a very kind women took you and your 3 siblings into her home to love and care for. You were all alone on the streets. Through many tears and veterinary visits, Danny’s two brothers did not survive. Heartbreakingly, today, Danny had to be sent over the Rainbow Bridge. He was not thriving and today at the vet he was in cardiac arrest. Our poor little Danny had so many issues and was just skin and bones. He will no longer be suffering and will now be welcomed by his two brothers. His only sister is doing well although she remains very small. Please pray for her. Once again, I thank God for the many amazing people like Karen Cartier who take these babies into their homes no matter what heartaches they may face.

1/12/17 – Thank God for the rescuers and for our donors. Without both, sweet, domestic animals like Dexter would die horrible deaths outdoors. Anyone interested in this sweetheart should contact our friend, Roberta at [email protected] (she also has a few other kitties that she rescued and whom we’ve helped with medical). ~ diana

“Well Dexter went from living like this to this, i trapped Dexter last night and today he went to the vet. This big boy is only a 1year old and now he is nutered, utd on shots, negative for Felv and also was treated for fleas and deworming. This handsome guy seems to be friendly he never hissed at me or tried biting me and the staff at rescue vet had no problems with Dexter either. If you would like to help sponsor Dexter’s vetting please go to4paws1heart.org – Roberta”
