6/10/22 – The Story of Angel Baby. We mourn the loss of her babies in order to save her but Angel Baby fought so hard and we were thankful to give her a second chance at life. Your donations matter. – Diana.
“It all started on April 5th, with a lady jogging down Trowbridge Street in Hamtramck and posted on, I LOVE HAMTRAMCK city site. The jogger reported that she saw a little young black kitty, “ that looked like it had a line wrapped around its belly, cutting it as it grew.” I had a resident post asking the community to report the kitties’ whereabouts. The comments came flooding in, the residents gave us the exact location. On Sunday, April 10th, the kitty was located and the next day my team and I set up multiple traps, the residents assisted and we captured her and two others! OnTuesday, April 12th, we took the kitties to be TNRd at Michigan Humane Society. It was reported that our little black kitty had netting deeply embedded into her abdomen, the residents stated it was there since last summer, and was severely infected and they did not have enough skin to fully close the wound. MHS suggested euthanisa which we declined without a second opinion.
I had submitted her story thus far and photos to Diana at 4 Paws and 1 Heart to assist in keeping her alive or if deemed necessary to euthanize to prevent any suffering. On April 25th, two weeks post-op, our little girl named Angel Baby, was seen at All About Animals to determine if the infection and healing process was improving. The doctor stated the pelvis and abdomen contents are pushed upward due to the constriction causing abnormal anatomy. Euthansia was deemed not necessary but Angel Baby should be x rayed to rule out pregnancy!
On April 26th, Diana suggested and approved a second opinion at APAWS Veterinary. An exam and xrays were performed and it was seen that she was carrying two, almost full term babies. The labor , which was impossible, would’ve killed her and ended her short life. Diana stated they would do whatever was necessary to save her! A spay/abort was performed and she was saved to continue living!
On May 13th, she returned to APAWS Veterinarian for a post-op and doc said she’s healin really nice. Angel has continued her healing and we started our socializing. She was very hissy and spicy and now will take her meals from my hand and treats too! She still gives me a warning swat and I respect her mood and back away! She really loves her back scratcher and toothbrush rubs and pets! She is vetted and combo negative! She should never go back to the hell streets she came from but she is still considered semi-feral!
SHE NEEDS A FOREVER SANCTUARY w/ CONTAINED INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LIVING !
