10/19/20 – Please say a little prayer for this boy, Fat Daddy. He was being cared for by a kind elderly lady who, unfortunately, had to be placed in a nursing home. The lady asked Brittany if she would care for Fat Daddy. Brittany noticed that Daddy appeared to have a claw missing. Also, she has been out of work and although she wants to give Daddy a permanent home, her funds have been depleted. Today Daddy was taken to one of our favorite vets who contacted me about this sweet guy. The doctor wasn’t sure the extent of the damage to the toe. She will do x rays and do blood work and determine next steps from there. The worse case is that he have his toe removed. Although donations have been very slow, we had to give this boy a second chance in honor of the kind woman who care for him for so many years. – diana

Pee Wee – They Thought He Was Dead
10/10/29 – The person who called in a ‘911″ actually thought this baby was dead. His body was already cold. But Pee Wee and his rescuers, Debra and Jo, wouldn’t have any part of it.

Diva – RIP – All of the Prayers and Love Just Weren’t Enough
10/6/20 – 
It is with a very heavy heart and lots of tears we update that our little Diva has crossed the rainbow bridge.
It is with a very heavy heart and lots of tears we update that our little Diva has crossed the rainbow bridge.She fought like hell to survive, but she just didn’t respond enough to turn the corner and today she became too tired to go on…
Diva was loved by so many people and OMG she knew it! They know when you love them and it gives them the will to survive…
The hardest part is accepting not knowing what was wrong or how to fix them. It’s a horrible feeling of helplessness, but we learn something new from each life that enters our hearts.
I want to thank her foster mommy and daddy for loving her to pieces and for giving her several weeks of 24 hour care.
I want to thank everyone who helped with ideas and suggestions with her treatment. Also, a huge thank you to our supporters, board members, and our team at Moore Veterinary Hospital for being there every step of the way.
She was adored and will never be forgotten.. ♡ RIP sweet Diva..

Fox – Found With a Severe Upper Respiratory Infection and a Torn Tendon
10/6/20 – Prayers for Fox who was brought to the vet this morning for surgery on a torn tendon. He was fortunate enough to show up in the yard of a very kind person. Fox’s eye was in pretty bad shape, along with the rest of his body, and he was limping badly. His rescuer brought him to an emergency hospital where they did an exam and gave him antibiotics. He was later taken to a vet because he was still limping. That vet determined that Fox had a torn tendon which needed surgery. The rescuer raised some money and found a foster; the rescuer then contacted us for additional help. We were thankful to play a role in Fox’s future by adding to the money needed for today’s surgery. We couldn’t keep making a difference without our supporters and the amazing rescuers. THANK YOU – diana

Diva – Update
10/4/20 – Hi Facebook …Ok…Diva here….yes this is my mad look…I’m mad at foster mommy for giving me a bath yesterday…and I’m mad at Auntie Sarah for just watching and not saving me from the water and bubbles! But my clean nose does look good doesn’t it?
So a short update on my health issues…I’m still not gaining weight – hovering at 1 lb 3 oz …I’m on a second round of Clavamox and my poop….has been beautiful (mom’s words) the last couple of days and no leaky poop! So beautiful that when a poop photo went to Auntie Gina DeLuca Jenio- she sent it to her vet friend …. the vet noticed something the color and immediately made a recommendation of a new med. (Aunt Gina can give the details mom just cleans up my poop…Aunt Gina’s a medical expert) So a shout out to Chewy for doing everything possible to expedite the medicine to Foster Mommy. the customer service rep Jo- was awesome & compassionate when Foster Mommy was crying as she spoke to her. (I think Foster Mommy likes me a little). So paws crossed and some prayers Facebook…that this new med will be the answer to my not gaining weight for the last 5 weeks! purrs to all! – Diva
George – Lived as a ‘Feral’ Cat Until He Was Hit By a Car
10/2/20 – George was a friendly stray who had been trap, neutered, and returned (TNR) until he was hit by a car. Because he was limping, the finder took George to an emergency hospital where several x-rays were taken. George’s injuries were minor and the finder contacted us for help with paying for the medical treatment. Because of a special needs child, the finder is seeking for placement for George who is very sweet and gets along with dogs. He is doing well but it’s obvious that he would like his own home so he doesn’t get hurt again outside. Ferndale Cat Shelter has placed George on their petfinder site in case you are interested in adopting him.

Update: 10/27/20 – George has found a furever home.

Diva Update.. 
Diva Update.. The results of the fecal pathogen profile test came back today showing that she is positive for Corona virus. Please know that this has NOTHING to do with COVID19 in humans. This is a species specific virus and not transmitted to humans.
We are looking into treatment options and Diva could use positive vibes and lots of prayers. She is a fighter like I have never seen. She is playful, a good eater, and so very lovable… We are literally trying everything that the doctors are recommending. Unfortunately, she is not responding as much as we would like.. We need a miracle!!!! She probably has more than one thing going on.. The last 5 weeks has been extremely heavy on the heart for foster mommy Dee and foster daddy Rick. Today she was 1 pound 3 oz. She is about 11 weeks old. Diva has had good days and bad days and today was a bad one. Please send positive vibes 
♡ Gina.
