4/13/21 – It was last Fall when I was contacted about helping Selina. Selina had been showing up at a very kind couple’s house for a couple of months. The couple decided, that with winter approaching, they would like to bring her in and make her part of their family. We authorized her medical needs but it took a little effort for the couple to trap her. they finally did and although she was afraid for awhile, she immediately took to using the litter box. This convinced the couple that Selina must have been in a home at one time and maybe even abused because she seemed so frightened. She was finally able to get into one of our partner vets and we have another kitty no longer alone on the streets. – diana

Stella – Shot in the Leg
4/9/21 – Prayers for Stella. She was found at the end of March while Ashley’s friend was running on a trail. He was able to trap this very friendly stray. Ashley contacted us and advised that Stella was limping badly. We covered Stella’s medical exam where it was found that she had been shot in the leg. The doctor advised the leg would have to be amputated. She also has a tooth that needs extraction. Stella is scheduled for her amputation and tooth extraction along with her spay. Thankfully, Ashley, believes that Stella has the purrfect furever home all lined up. – diana

Jasper – Found During the Bitter Cold of February and Unable to Move His Back Legs
4/9/21 – Jasper is looking for his furever home. He is so beautiful. Here’s an update from his rescuer:
“Jasper is looking for his loving forever home. He was found injured outside in bitter cold in February. He was unable to use his back legs and was dragging them behind him. Today, after vet care provided by 4 Paws 1 Heart, he is able to walk, run and play like any other cat. He walks a little crooked and can’t jump as high as the others and stumbles on landings, but he is a happy, playful, fun little boy. Jasper is very affectionate, always takes time out from playing to come and give me face rubs and affection. He likes hugs and kisses 
Jasper is about 10 months old so is energetic, needs playtime and attention. Sadly my other cats won’t play with him, my ferals are afraid of him and he’s too rambunctious for the older ones so he’s easily bored and follows me around. He’s talkative. He gets overly excited sometimes so not the greatest with his nails. Because of his limitations he needs to be an indoor only cat. Jasper is fixed and up to date on vaccines. – Kim”

Freya – RIP – May Have Been Attacked by a Coyote
4/7/21 – RIP Freya. It was the end of January when we were contacted about a cat who showed up in a person’s barn. The barn owner thought she may have been attacked by a coyote because half of her tail and ear was missing. She had not eaten for 4 days and the rescuer was very worried. I authorized Freya to be seen by one of our partner vets and last month I followed up to see how Freya was doing. Unfortunately, I learned that Freya had a large tumor and was humanely euthanized. The rescuer said that she was very well taken care of by the veterinary doctor and she was loved to the end. – diana

Stripes – Update
4/7/21 – Stripes Update – We don’t know how it happened but Stripes’ arm was broken and needed to be amputated up to the shoulder. His surgery was Friday and today I got an update. He is doing well, eating/drinking, and recovering in a double crate with a nice, cozy cushion but he prefers to just lay without the cushion. He looks so sad but his life will be much better once he heals. Here is a photo of him post surgery and the others are from before. Anyone interested in giving him a loving furever home should contact Kim at: [email protected] – diana

Sam – RIP – His Tail May Have Been Purposely Cut Off
4/3/21 – RIP Sweet Sam. Our friend contacted us about Sam. She had just trapped him and his tail had either been purposely cut off or he was caught somewhere. Shelley tends to believe this may be an abuse situation in that there have been other cats found in the area who appeared to be victims of abuse. I won’t post the photos because they are too graphic but this poor animal had to be in unbelievable pain and the wound seemed recent and very, very infected. We tried to get him into a hospital to be humanely euthanized in that Sam was very feral and Shelley couldn’t imagine what could be done. But, either the wait was very long or there was nothing available. Fortunately, Shelley thought to contact the Macomb Animal Control who picked up Sam and humanely put him out of his pain. Run free across the Rainbow Bridge sweet boy. Thank YOU, Shelley, for everything that you do for those in need. – diana

Buddy – After Roaming the Neighborhood for Years, Rescued for Medical Care
4/3/21 – Buddy had been roaming the neighborhood for awhile. The neighbors said that he had been TNR’d along with his mother a “couple of years” ago. A kind woman, who has been feeding him, said that his ear appeared to be tipped and noticed that he recently started limping and appeared to not be putting weight on his one leg. She has never been able to get within 5 feet of him but will come when she calls him for dinner. We authorized Buddy to be taken to one of our partner vets and here is the update:
“Hi Diana,
I wanted to Thank you again and give you an update on Buddy. Turns out the 3rd digit on his hind leg was folded back and stuck in the bottom of his paw and infected. So they took care of that and also neutered him. Apparently the neighbors were wrong. I will be keeping in my utility room until he is finished with his meds. They said his paw needs to stay clean, otherwise I would just give him meds in his food outside everyday. I am attaching a pic. The vet said he was an old man as he was missing a few teeth and has had his share of fights. He seemed to think he was looking for help when I described some of his comings and goings. Buddy and I Thank you sooo much. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you! God bless you for being the angel that you are! 
– Linda”
