1/3/25 A fire department in Detroit has been putting food out for some strays and Baxter was one of them. Approximately one week ago he showed up to the fire department with a hole in his eye likely from trauma.

One of the guys took Baxter to emergency but due to cost Baxter couldn’t get surgery. When they reached out to us we contacted one of our partner vets who was fortunately able to get Baxter in right away, and eye removal was done yesterday. He is recovering in this picture on fluids and pain meds.

The firefighter is going to foster and hopefully keep Baxter inside from now on. He fell in love with this boy. Thank you to those who support our mission to help cats and dogs like Baxter get the second chance they deserve. Veterinary care is expensive and strays do not have an owner to provide medical funding or decisions for their quality of life, so we are blessed to be able to help in some way..
