12/27/23 – We love hearing from those rescuers who contacted us for help. This is Meep’s story as told by his rescuer:
“Hello, I was told your organization may be able to help me by one of the shelters I had reached out to. I had a sweet orange boy with only one eye start living on my porch a couple weeks ago, but all the shelters I contacted were full… once the storm hit I didn’t have the heart to leave him outside so I brought him in and have been keeping him separated from my other cat for the time being. I will be taking him to All About Animals in Flint to get basic testing and vaccines done on Tuesday but I’m concerned there may be longer term dental issues (he has quite the snaggletooth protruding from his lower jaw) or other care that may not be in my budget at this time. He is an absolute sweetheart and as long as his testing comes back ok and introductions with my other cat go well I would be willing to consider this his forever home, I just want to make sure he is able to get whatever care he needs as quickly as possible. Thank you.
Here is a photo of the sweet boy, my son has decided to start calling him Meep -Dani”
Well, on Christmas Eve, Dani sent me the following update with photos:
“I saw you’ve been doing some end of year updates so I wanted to share one on Meep that you helped with at the very beginning of the year. After the exam, shots, and testing you helped with. I was told he was perfectly healthy, FIV/FLV negative, and the snaggle tooth I was worried had no problems so they saw no reason to do anything to it. He is now fat, happy, and regularly tries to “help” with Zoom calls when I work from home. He and my other cat Koko still aren’t the best of friends, but they have each established their own territory in the house and for the most part just stay out of each other’s way.
Happy Holidays and thank you again from our family!-Dani”
