10/4/16 – Dear Supporters, Thank you so very much for responding to the $1,000 Match Challenge; we exceeded our goal!!. We are humbled by the trust and confidence you have in us as you continue to share your hard-earned dollars to make miracles happen. Without you, we could not give a second chance of life to so many abandoned, stray, and abused animals.

Here is another happy update. This is Bumper. She was recently found wandering in the parking lot of a warehouse. The finder brought her in and with the help of friends, we were contacted. As you can see, Bumper’s eye was ready to explode, and in fact, by the time she was seen by a veterinarian, her eye had ruptured and it was necessary to remove it. Well, look at her today. Here is Cheryl’s (his ‘nurse’ while she recovered) report. ~ diana

10/3/16 – Happy Update #2 on the last day of the $1,000 Match Challenge. Your donations truly make miracles happen.

Viper was found wandering the streets, flea and tick infested, suffering with an upper respiratory infection, and very emaciated. Thankfully he was rescued by a kind person who has contacted us in the past, and, of course, we were there for Viper. Here he is when we were first contacted and how he looks today. Viper continues to have some very minor health issues because he was so emaciated but he is gaining weight and we continue to be there for him. Anyone interested in adopting Viper should contact:

10/3/16 – On the last day of our $1,000 Match Challenge (donations can be made through the donate link on this site), I thought I would share some happy updates.

You might remember One-Eyed Jack from January, 2016. It was in East Tawas, MI when an unknown person dumped him at a home known in the neighborhood for taking in cats. The little guy had one eye missing. Can you imagine leaving an animal with one eye to wander the streets in the dead of winter?? The homeowner was already overwhelmed and couldn’t take him in. Fortunately, a woman, aware of the situation, contacted us for help and said that she would foster him if we could help with his medical bills; and we did. Here is Jack when he was first rescued and how he looks today. ~ diana

P.S. His rescuer became his forever mom. Thank YOU, Kelly.

10/1/16 – Poppy is another one of the kitties rescued in a home which was overwhelmed with cats/kittens, many of whom were sick. He is now healthy and ready for a new, forever family. ~ diana

“Don’t hate him because he is beautiful….our little Poppie!
He loves loving and loves loving you in return.
