8/16/23 – In late May, Elizabeth, whom we’ve assisted with medical for her tnr project in her neighborhood, contacted us about another family she found on the streets. As she was driving in her neighborhood, a little cat ran in front of her car and then was gone. The next day she went back and found a mama and 3 cats about 4 months old (mama was the same size as her babies). Elizabeth, picked up mama and saw that she had been lactating so she continued her search only to find 3 more babies. Elizabeth had been working with the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center for two years and has tnr’d several cats and worked with the Center who had adopted out the many cats she rescued. At first the Center agreed to take in the 4-month old, which they did. Elizabeth contacted us for help with the mom and younger kittens. We had approved that in addition to a special approval for one of the kittens, Blueberry, who had an eye infection. The bottom line is that Blueberry was seen at Orion Animal Hospital and was given medication for his infection. The Center took in the other babies and covered their vetting. At this time Bliss and Sweety (the mom) still need their furever home, Blueberry was adopted a week ago and Button has been adopted. Here are photos of the Sweety and her babies when first rescued, Blueberry then and Blueberry when he was adopted. Props to Oakland County for becoming an integral partner to saving animals. – diana
