4/24/22 – On this beautiful Sunday morning in Southeast, MI, I wanted to share this e mail that I received the other day. It concerned a kitty names Milo. It was December 20, 2021 when I received an e mail from a very kind woman who had rescued many cats in her life and has 5 of her own. Bear, was only 9-11 months old and he showed up very cold, hungry, emaciated, and an injured leg. His guardian angel took him to a vet who provided subq fluids, vaccines, x-rays, and pain and anti-inflammatory medications. It was determined that he may need ACL surgery. This is when we were contacted. Bear saw the amazing Dr. Zalac, of Orion Animal Hospital, who scheduled the surgery for February 15. But before the surgery was performed, a ‘sarcoma/
formed on Bear’s tail. He was taken back to the original vet and it was determined that the ‘sarcoma’ was a response to the rabies injection. The sarcoma was biopsied–no cancer. On February 15, 2022, Bear finally had his surgery. Dr. Z found that the injury wasn’t as severe as thought in that the ligaments were stretched and not torn. Consequently, the healing process would be much quicker. Two months later here is the update from Sharon, Bear’s angel:
“Hello Diana,
I wanted to give you an update on little “Bear”, now known as “Milo”. On Wednesday of this week, April 20th, we took “Milo” to Orion Animal Hospital for his final post-op check up with Dr. Zalac. She gave him a clean bill of health, stating that his current, very slight limp would improve over the next year. She did not feel there was a need to return unless something unusual occurred in the future.
I am happy to say that “Milo” currently has a new foster mom and dad, who happen to be my neighbors and friends. I am 99% sure that they will adopt him permanently. We are very exited that we will be able to keep in contact with this precious little furbaby.
The new mom and dad and I are so very, very grateful for what you have done for little “Milo”. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts and would like to know if we can donate to you, and where to send said donations. Because of people like you, these sad little creatures that are abused and abandoned will hopefully live long and happy lives. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Sharon and Milo.”
I hope this makes your beautiful Sunday even better and continues to reinforce how important our donors are to overwhelming number of fur orphans on our streets. – diana.
