5/11/26: Daisy and Thomas are part of an outdoor colony in Oakland. Their caretaker reached out for help with getting them sterilized to prevent future litters. They will have surgery at Comfort’s Place Veterinary Hospital this week, and it’s because of YOU that we are able to help them. Thank you! Now, they will live a happy, healthy, indoor life.
5/9/26: We are currently assisting with a large spay/neuter project at a dairy farm in Clyde, Michigan. Countless cats will receive veterinary care including spay/neuter, vaccines, and medical treatment at All About Animals in Warren.
We are grateful to be working alongside Feline Fund and A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue on this important effort. Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work and the compassionate rescue community that comes together to help animals in need.
5/5/26: These four kittens were born from a colony cat that was trapped just before she gave birth. We were able to help with getting their first vet visit a few days ago. All were examined, vaccinated, and dewormed. The rescuer has them lined up to go to Save Monroe Stray for continued care and eventually, placement.
Please contact the rescue, Save Monroe Strays, for additional information.
The mom will also be taken care of, fixed, and placed. We are happy to have been a part of their journey to a healthy path. Thank you for your continued donations!
5/4/26: Chicken, Pumpkin, Pluto, and Smokey were found in a ditch.
They all need exams, a full check up, vaccines, testing for parasites and contagious diseases. We have offered to help with the funding and this Wednesday they will begin treatment at Imlay City vet hospital.
5/2/26: Boots was found on the street and he is doing a hard swallow as if something is stuck in his throat.
We have approved him to be checked out at one of our favorite vet hospitals Orion Animal Hospital where they are going to sedate him for exam of his throat. We will update once we know more.
4/27/26: Dulce was found lingering outside of a liquor store in Flint. A good Samaritan, who chose not to look the other way, noticed she was severely underweight with diarrhea matted into her fur.
Dawn was able to safely lure her into her car, bring her home, and reached out to us for help.
We approved an exam and treatment at one of our trusted veterinary partners, West Flint Animal Hospital.
We’ll share updates as soon as we learn more about Dulce’s condition.
Donations have been very slow, and cases like Dulce’s are exactly why we do what we do. If you’re able to contribute toward her care, it would mean so much <3
04/24/26 Update: With corrections due to new information – chip is registered to a compassionate animal lover who 7+ years ago did TNR on Phoebe (a feral cat) and provided a heated shelter, food, and a camera to monitor as she happily lived a life outside.
When she was contacted by the animal hospital she offered to pay for any additional recommended testing, food, meds, etc. The doctor wanted to do one more test and it was covered without hesitation.
Phoebe is allowing Joe to handle her, but that may also be because she is sick. We do know that test results revealed FIV, anemia, very low protein, and elevated pancreatic enzymes. She is on meds and Joe has been caring for her.
I don’t know where her future lies or if she would do well in a home, but in my opinion the outdoor life can be harsh for an older unwell cat like her. Maybe between Joe, Elizabeth, and the shares something can be worked out to see if maybe indoor life is an option.
4/23/26: Phoebe was found in Eastpointe with a severe respiratory infection, bloated belly, and very thin.
Joseph captured her, brought her to the hospital, and paid out of pocket for initial care.
We offered to help cover the extensive lab work testing that was done at her follow appointment a couple days ago. The results should be in today. Apparently, she has a microchip and the owners have been contacted , but they have not reached back out to our knowledge.
I was able to get Joseph some donated blankets and a little bit of donated food. He has her separated from his cats and until he can find a more permanent situation, she is inside a dog crate in his garage, but she is safe with shelter. Her respiratory infection has gotten better and she has put on one pound!
04/21/26 Update: Dublin’s head tilt is almost completely gone! He’s eating, playing, and of course still absolutely ADORABLE.
I didn’t expect to have him this long, but he has truly needed that intense, round-the-clock care. He goes to work with me every day, so he can be cared for 24/7.
We sent out additional tests yesterday, and his comprehensive fecal PCR came back negative for Toxo—great news!
Thank you all so much for the continued prayers and support. I’ll share another update as soon as we have more results.
Once again, it’s because of people who believe in us that we can give animals like Dublin a chance he deserves!
4/13/26 update: Today marks 28 days since I brought him home after he was found at just 1 day old, when his mom wouldn’t nurse him. For those who have been following his journey, you know he’s had on-and-off neurologic symptoms over the past four weeks.
This Monday and Tuesday he seemed perfectly normal but by Wednesday he developed a head tilt to the right.
We ran a full blood panel on Thursday, which unfortunately didn’t give us many answers. Because he is so small, diagnostics are limited right now. As of Friday, he weighed just over one pound.
The head tilt is making feeding and even going to the bathroom challenging for him. He is still receiving around-the-clock bottle feedings and stimulation to help him go to the bathroom. He is also on medication in case this is due to infection or inflammation.
He’s been such a fighter, and we’re hoping for answers and improvement soon.
4/7/26 Update: I am super happy to share that little Dublin is making huge improvements! He still has a slight head tilt, but he is not rolling over anymore. He is a little fighter with a very big future ahead of him, and I am blessed to be a part of his journey.
Thank you all for the continued prayers. He is almost there!
4/4/26 Update: I hold his head steady while eating, and the good thing is his appetite is great! He is consistently gaining weight, in good spirits, and taking his medicine like a champ! Thank you all for the positive thoughts and prayers as we navigate to get him better one day at a time.
4/3/26 Update: Prayers needed for my bottle baby, Dublin. He is receiving treatment and we have to give him time for the meds to work.
On Monday, Dublin started showing a head tilt and began rolling to the left. I had him examined right away and ran every test we safely could on such a tiny kitten. He tested negative for parasites and panleukopenia. He has no respiratory symptoms, no ear debris, no eye discharge or nystagmus, and he continues to eat every 2-3 hours around the clock and he is gaining weight. At just 20 days old and only 13 ounces, there are limits to what can be tested and given at this age. Right now, we are hoping this is an inner ear infection, but could be very serious like Toxoplasmosis, encephalitis, congenital, etc.
I’ve been on edge all week—running on very little sleep and pouring everything I have into him while feeling scared, worried, and helpless.
Thank you for keeping Dublin in your thoughts and prayers. I will update as we know more.
3/29/26 Update: Happy Sunday! Dublin is officially 2 weeks old today!
I’m a little behind on updates—this tiny orphan has truly taken over my every waking moment.
He was up to 9.5 ounces just a few days ago, and tomorrow we’ll get an updated weight. A playpen is on the way, and he’s starting to become more aware of the world around him. His eyes have opened bright, he dreams peacefully, and he absolutely loves belly rubs.
I’m still doing syringe feedings every few hours, around the clock—but watching him grow makes every second worth it.
When the time comes, 4 Paws 1 Heart will be there to help with his check-up and care.
We are not a rescue, but there are moments like this—when an emergency case comes along—and I step in to give a tiny life like Dublin a chance.
3/21/26 Update: Day 5 with Dublin and loves the belly rubs. He is doing well and his eyes are about to open. I have a battery operated heartbeat to mimic the mom and he snuggles on top of it.
3/19/26 Update: Dublin is growing stronger every day, and I’m asking for continued prayers for this precious little angel.
Please watch over little Dublin as he thrives with each passing hour. Bless his tiny body with warmth, his belly with fullness, and his heart with steady strength. Let every feeding bring him life, every rest bring him healing, and every breath remind him he is safe and loved. Through the long nights and early mornings, steady my hands and renew my spirit. In moments of worry, quiet my fears with hope. For this fragile boy, continue to breathe life into him. And may this little kitten, once cold and alone, grow into a life filled with comfort, safety, and love. -Gina
Amen.
3/17/26: I offered to take home a tiny 4oz orphan newborn kitten because without immediate help, he simply wouldn’t have survived.
When I got him, he was ice cold to the touch, his temperature wouldn’t register, his tiny toes were purplish pink… but he for certain had the will to live. The person who found him cares for stray cats, but for reasons we may never know, the mom wasn’t feeding him.
Through the night, with warmth, round-the-clock care, and tiny feedings every couple of hours, he held on. And today—24 hours later—we’re doing so much better.
I think this little warrior might be a boy (we’ll know more soon!), and I’m starting to think he deserves a strong Irish name to match his fighting spirit.
4/17/26 Update: We’re so happy to see him safe with a rescue and on his way to finding a forever home. It was because of our incredible supporters that an extensive portion of his medical care was covered giving him the second chance he deserved.
Thank you for making this outcome possible.
3/13/26: Gandalf Update. I just had to share this sweet boy. He’s got drain tubes in his neck from terribly infected wounds, but his spirit is gentle and grateful. This is why we do what we do.
3/10/26 Update: What we thought was one wound turned out to be much more.
Gandalf was seen over the weekend where he was neutered and treated for a neck wound. When his rescuer picked him up, another wound was discovered — severely infected and needing immediate care.
Thankfully, Centerline Veterinary Hospital stepped up and got him in right away yesterday so he could be placed under anesthesia and have the wound flushed and cleaned.
His medical care has now exceeded $1,000, reminding us that we often don’t know the true extent of injuries until we step in to help.
One of the photos is simply too graphic to share.
The good news is that Gandalf is recovering, and most importantly he will never have to live outside again.
This little guy was given a second chance, and we are grateful to be part of his journey because of the compassion and support of you.
3/4/26: This is Gandalph.
Thank you to All About Animals Rescue for getting this guy in for surgery right away. I will update once we know more.
We were contacted about this handsome guy who needs medical attention. The rescuer also needs assistance with trapping him.
He is located near the Buddhist Temple on 9 Mile Road. Please contact Laura at llang1204@wowway.com if you can assist and we will approve funding for medical to get him help.
It breaks my heart that there are so many like him who are homeless and deserve so much better.
This homeless guy was found injured with severe trauma to his rear leg. We approved his surgery and the amazing team of professionals at Orion Animal Hospital will be providing the necessary care.
Thank you to his rescuer Jamie who cared enough to find him help and our amazing supporters who believe in our mission.
