2/16/26: Woolybear was found outside in the bitter cold. At his appointment last week, the doctor estimated he is about 10 years old. He has an upper respiratory infection, a broken canine tooth, and a chin that had been ripped open.
He received medications to stabilize him until he’s strong enough for surgery.
Because of you, we were able to say yes to his initial care without hesitation.
2/15/26: Valentino was found inside a shop, trying to survive the cold. Frostbite covers his ears. He is emaciated, sick, eyes dripping, congested – a young helpless soul.
A few nights ago, I came across his urgent post on a rescue page – and we said yes to sponsor his medical care.
Yesterday, on Valentines Day, he was seen at the hospital where treatment began right away. And now, because of Jennifer and her husband, he has a safe home to begin healing.
2/6/26: These three sweet cats were struggling outside—cold, hungry, and exposed during this brutal winter weather.
Ginger, the orange girl, suffered damage to her ear, likely frostbite, and all three—Ginger, Ashley, and Smokey—were battling upper respiratory infections.
A kind and determined woman worked tirelessly in the freezing cold to safely trap them. Once they were secure, we were able to cover the cost of their exams, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and medical treatment. They are now safe and cared for with Cat Tale Acres Rescue.
We could not do this without our supporters. Because of you, these cats are warm, safe, and on the path to healing. Thank you for standing with them during this heartbreaking stretch of cold.
2/5/26: Cocolino is only about 3 months old and already fighting a battle no baby should ever face. She was found as a stray with multiple traumatic injuries—a broken pelvis and two broken legs. One leg is severely displaced and will likely need amputation, while the other side may require fracture repair. Right now, we’re taking things one step at a time as her medical team determines the best path forward.
The good news: Cocolino is urinating on her own, able to use the bathroom, and is comfortable on pain medication. She was tested today for FeLV and FIV, with results expected tomorrow. Despite everything, this little girl is still here, still trying, still holding on.
Cocolino is being lovingly cared for by Patricia, a compassionate rescuer who is deeply dedicated to helping animals in need. She didn’t turn away—she stepped up when Cocolino needed someone most.
Now we need help. The medical care ahead will be extensive, and the costs will add up quickly. If you’re able to donate, share, or send prayers, it truly makes a difference. Every dollar helps give Cocolino a chance at a pain-free, happy life. Thank you Orion Animal Hospital for getting this baby in today and for your amazing team of doctors and staff.
2/4/26: This little kitty could barely open her eyes—scared, cold, hungry, and desperate for love. Her rescuer, Jill, couldn’t walk away. She knew this tiny girl deserved a chance and reached out to us for help.
“Scardey” was seen yesterday and treated for an upper respiratory infection. She also tested positive for worms and ear mites and has already received treatment. A recheck in two weeks will include follow-up testing, vaccines, and her spay appointment.
Thanks to Jill’s open heart and the support of our amazing donors, this little girl will never know life on the streets again. Thank you for making rescue possible.
2/2/26: Harley suffered a urethral blockage that landed him in emergency care. To save his life, he required perineal urethrostomy (PU) surgery, a major procedure that permanently reroutes the urethra to allow urine to pass freely and prevent future blockages.
The small rescue caring for Harley couldn’t do it alone, so our village came together to help cover the cost. Because of that love and teamwork, Harley is healing well and now has a bright, comfortable future ahead.
1/30126: Joy was found with a significant wound taking up half of her face. It was infected and in need of immediate medical attention. We made arrangements for her to be seen at Orion Oaks hospital where surgery was performed.
She is doing well and recovering, but she will still need to be fixed and vaccinated once she is healthy.
Her rescuer is taking amazing care of her and updated us today that she is doing great.
1/27/26: Pumpkin was found outside with wounds on his face as if he was in a fight with another cat. The rescuer contacted us for help because he was crying and she was worried that he was in pain. We approved getting him checked out at a hospital and having his wounds treated. Sarah plans to keep him as a member of her family and take over his care. One more kitty off the street. Thank you Sarah <3
Thank you to everyone who helped share and network yesterday to get this cat out of the freezing cold and into safety. Yesterday afternoon, Amy and her son spent over three hours helping capture her and also tried to help the two other cats, who were spooked and remain outside. The homeowner is continuing efforts to secure them. We’re grateful to those who’ve offered temporary homes, and our organization is willing to help cover medical care once the remaining cats are rescued.
🙏 Please continue to share and keep the two cats still outside — and all animals in this cold — in your prayers.
The good news: Trinkett is warm and safe
The homeowner asked us to share her sincere thanks, especially to Amy and her son, and to everyone who helped. I spent many hours responding to messages and truly appreciate everyone’s patience. If the other two cats are captured today, I’ll post again asking for help.
1/23/26 5:30 pm Update: I was just informed that the cat was brought inside and help is on the way to pick her up and bring her to safety! Thank you Amy Alderman-Quint for literally saving this life today. You are her Angel! We will be there when you need us to cover the vetting.
1/23/26 4:00 pm Update: I’m having trouble making the owner understand she has to secure the cat because no one is going to go to her house and try to catch the cat that only knows her. I have offered to have her bring the cat to a location, I have people who have offered to take the cat in, and we have offered to cover cost of treatment. She gave me permission to post her number.
1/23/26 12 pm: URGENT– Stray Cat is freezing and wanting to come inside but the home owner can not provide shelter because her brother is allergic. She emailed me for help and said she had to put the cat back outside and that her paws were so cold yesterday she could barely eat.
This is a stray the woman has been feeding. Calling her “Trinkett”. I am asking the lady to secure her right away.
This sweet kitty was brought in from the cold yesterday by a compassionate rescuer named Tracy, who faithfully feeds several outdoor cats near 11 Mile & VanDyke.
When Teddy started coming around, it quickly became clear that he may have been dumped or left behind.
We were able to step in and help give Teddy a second chance by making arrangements for him to be examined and receive veterinary care tomorrow morning.
Once he’s been vetted, Tracy (tracywilkelis@gmail.com) will be working to find this sweet teddy bear a loving forever home where he’ll never have to face the cold alone again.
Please keep all homeless animals—and the people caring for them—in your prayers during these frigid winter nights. Your support makes moments like this possible.
