Baxter Update

Posted on by

2/8/25 Baxter Update. A crew from a fire department in Detroit was taking care of this stray kitty, who kept wandering in and out of the department. One of the guys named Leo, had a soft spot the stray said he’d love to take him home, but was afraid of how he would do since he was an outdoor cat. One day, the kitty now named “Baxter” showed up with severe trauma to his right eye and it needed to be removed.

We were contacted for help and offered to pay for surgery, neutering and vetting. Baxter is now living his best life with the firefighter and he has no desire to go back outside ever again.

Here he is in this updated photo giving a nice long stretch for the camera. Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Quick Update on Cocoa Bean / JoJo

Posted on by

2/6/25 – I had to post a quick update on Cocoa Bean, who is now named JoJo.

We always say that it takes a village, and that is the truth especially in this case of neglect. I was able to see this sweet girl yesterday to recheck her weight and to say my heart was full, is an understatement. JoJo gained 20 pounds since her last visit!

She lived her entire 14 year life, tied to a tree, sleeping on the concrete through all types of weather. She was malnourished, bald spots all over from the pavement, she had parasites, a bladder infection, arthritis, she was broken and defeated.

Until, it took one person who would not give up to start the ball rolling and ultimately save this girl who I believe, would have frozen to death this winter.

I feel fortunate to have been a part of her new journey in life and because of your support, we were able help get JoJo onto the best path.

His New Name is Albert

Posted on by

2/4/25. His new name is Albert which totally suits this handsome boy. He was brought into a local vet hospital after showing up at someone’s door during the frigid temperatures that we had. He was desperately crying to come in and had gotten into a fight with another cat outside. There were scratches all over his face, side, and neck. The rescuer suspected he was dumped. No microchip, not neutered, and no one came looking for him.

We offered to help get him examined, neutered, and vaccinated. His rescuers fell in love and decided to give him a forever home inside where he belongs.
