10/9/23 – It all started in July. We were contacted about a ‘momma cat’ who had been showing up in a colony cared for by a liquor store owner. The caretaker, with the help of Milad, had been trying to TNR Grey Goose for a long while but she was just too savvy to the trap. But then she started showing up looking weak, losing fur, and losing weight. They were finally able to trap her and the journey began. After a number of tests and vet visits, Grey Goose was found to have Giardia and was treated accordingly. This past weekend I received the following update from Milad:

“I’m thrilled to share a heartwarming update about Grey Goose’s incredible journey. Thanks to the unwavering support of 4 Paws 1 Heart, Grey Goose has transformed into her vibrant and healthy self. After enduring over eight years outdoors in Detroit, she was ready to close that chapter and embark on a new adventure. With comprehensive veterinary care, including her spay procedure, all made possible by your kindness, she has secured a cherished spot at Focus on Feral’s cat sanctuary in Grand Rapids! Your involvement has been instrumental in making this journey possible, as she traversed the state to find her new home. Witness her thriving in her new environment, surrounded by new feline friends, in the heartwarming picture below!”

It’s updates like this that makes it all worthwhile. We may not be able to save them all, but because of the generosity of our donors and our veterinary partners, thousands of stray animals have been given a second chance at life and thousands more have been saved from being born and living and dying on the streets. A huge thank you to the rescuers and those who never turn their backs on an animal in need. – diana
