12/11/24 – Yesterday I spoke of the number of kittens/cats in dire straits on our streets right now. Tonight it will be going down to 15 degrees!
Noah is one of the babies we’ve been contacted about needing an eye removal. He is one of two, three-month old kittens recently rescued from a community. Noah will have his surgery at West Flint Animal Hospital and will also be vaccinated, neutered, and tested as appropriate.
12/11/ 24 – I am at a loss for words and heartbroken to say that Bruce passed away this morning. His eye was removed yesterday and he was kept overnight at the hospital. His rescuers, Donny and Calee, are beyond devastated.
They are picking his body up right now and giving him a proper burial. Bruce was sweet as can possibly be and in his short time he brought endless feelings of joy, happiness, and love to every heart he touched especially the hearts of Calee and Donny.
He deserved a long life surrounded by people who would give that back to him. It’s very hard for me to look beyond the tears and the sadness for his sudden loss, but I’m grateful he didn’t suffer and die alone out in the cold. That he knew love, that he will be remembered, and hopefully his spirit will live on forever in the lives he touched. Please keep Donny and Calee in your thoughts and prayers as they try and process life without this little shining star that wandered to their window.
Please remember that your donations matter in giving animals like Bruce a chance to be loved beyond measure. And, remember the veterinary staff and doctors who are also grieving the loss of this little life especially after all they put in to try and save him. I have been on both ends and it’s something we all take home and never forget. Hug your babies..
