11/1/25: This is Lori and part of the message that I received requesting urgent help: “She was rescued 9/4 on the verge of death. She is the size of a 10 week old kitten but is actually almost 6 months old. She’s somewhat better now but still struggling”.
We approved Lori to be seen at one of our favorite vet hospitals, Orion Animal Hospital. To my knowledge, she has responded to treatment and I will post an update once I know more.
There are so many stray animals that are sick, in need of medical care, or vetting.
10/31/25: This little guy, “Boxer”, was found in pretty bad shape, hardly able to breathe, congested, and a high fever over 104°F.
We approved him to go to Orion Oaks Animal Hospital where they took wonderful care of him. He had a series of x rays, SQ fluids, and broad spectrum antibiotics.
In just over twenty four hours, he is resting comfortably here with his rescuer who is going to try to find him a forever home!
There are way more animals who need help than resources available.
Please be a part of the solution and donate today. That is the only way we can keep doing what we do. Thank you!
10/27/2025: Last week I received an emergency email request regarding a cat outside with flesh coming from the rectal area.
We were able to get him seen at West Flint Animal Hospital very quickly and they sedated him to examine and determine his rectum was prolapsed. This can be caused from severe diarrhea or parasites. The rescuer was committed to providing continued care if we were able to treat, and we said yes. I will update as soon as I hear something but for now Fluffy is safe, warm, fed, indoors, and on the road to recovery. -Gina
10/23/25 Waking up from surgery, doing very well in recovery, and about to get some yummy kitten food! Sunfyre will go home this afternoon. Thank you all for the prayers and positive thoughts, and thank you Moore Veterinary Hospital Gina
10/22/25 Update: FHO Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Please keep Sunfyre in your prayers for a successful surgery with a quick recovery and healing time. He will be getting surgery by Dr Hilton who is an amazing surgeon. 🙏💙🙏💙 Gina
9/17/25 Update: We receive constant requests for animals in need of help on a daily basis. This sweet boy, found in Aldi’s parking lot, just got through 2 months of vetting through us and at his recent neuter x-rays were taken because of a limp that they couldn’t really evaluate until he was under anesthesia. He is about 4-5 months old and so lovable.
The doctor is recommending FHO Surgery.
FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery is needed to relieve pain and restore function. The surgery removes the ball (femoral head) of the hip joint to eliminate painful bone-on-bone contact allowing the formation of a new “false joint” made of scar tissue that provides cushioning and pain-free mobility.
Sunfyre also needs a home. He can live a very good quality of life with surgery.
The estimated cost without discount is $1,700.
If you can help us help him, please make a donation today. Thank you <3

7/18/25: Here is the email I received from an independent rescuer: “I became aware of a kitten alone in the 9-Mile Aldi parking lot. A family was able to catch this poor baby but they couldn’t keep him. He had black tar matted in his fur, was absolutely covered in fleas and his ears were filthy. He was very lethargic when I got to him but I cleaned him up and its been 48 hours he seems to have improved. Eyes look good no signs of respiratory infection but he is all skin, fluff, and bones I am guessing about 12 weeks old, I am calling him Sunfyre. Any chance 4P1H can help with his vet care? He is so soft and honestly the most grateful kitten I have ever met. I can’t imagine how terrified he was with all the fireworks and being alone but he is an instant motor boat and purrs constantly. I attached some pictures.”
We offered to help and he was seen yesterday for full exam, vaccines, feline leukemia/FIV test, dewormer, and a parasite check to set him up for a healthier safe path while finding a forever home. Happy new life, Sunfyre! 💜
10/16/25 Update: Through my tears and with a very heavy heart, I am updating about Baby Fluff who passed away surrounded by her rescuers and I yesterday afternoon.
Her condition became much worse and her fragile little body could not fight her pneumonia any more. Moore veterinary hospital and Advanced Animal Emergency utilized all medical options given to provide the best care and treatment for this delicate little angel desperately trying to save her life.
She was found last week tucked beside her deceased mom who had been hit by a car on Hall Road. Her body was the size of the palm of my hand. There really isn’t much more that I can say other than rest in heaven sweet little baby and be with your mama. You were loved and I’m so sorry we couldn’t save you. 💔😪 Gina
10/14/25 Update: What a little fighter and an absolute gem! This sweet little angel girl had a glucose of 55 this morning. A fever of 102.9 f and she was extremely dehydrated upon arrival. The staff took care of her every hour on the hour throughout the entire day and I decided to take her home for the night to continue her supportive care because she needs aggressive monitoring. She is not eating enough to sustain herself so she has to be carefully syringe fed every 2-3 hours. She is on eye and oral antibiotics to treat what they suspect is pneumonia at this point. Her weight is 0.7 oz. She is not even half of a pound and extremely fragile.
I feel that she has made quite a bit of progress through the day but her breathing is still labored at times. Her energy goes in spurts, I’m hoping that if we can get her over this hump with her appetite, breathing, and fever she will be good. Her prognosis is still very guarded. She has already been through so much in her short little life starting with sitting beside her deceased mom, who was hit by a car on hall road. Please keep the prayers coming and I will do everything on my end to give her the best chance of survival! Thank you Moore veterinary hospital, Advanced animal emergency, Lianna, and her rescuer Lindsey! -Gina
10/13/25 Update: Baby Fluff was brought in yesterday to follow up from her emergency visit the night before and for more diagnostic tests, antibiotics, and nutritional supplement. I’ve been in communication with her rescuer throughout the day and night, and this baby still won’t eat her drink. She is going to bring her in again first thing this morning and get her hospitalized. Please keep her in your prayers. We need them right now. 🩷🙏💜 Gina
10/12/25: I received an emergency email late last night regarding this baby found 4 nights ago in Macomb Twp. She was with her deceased mom that had been hit by a car. Her health began declining quickly. That’s when her rescuer, Lindsy, rushed her to Advanced Animal Emergency and we offered to cover the medical.
They did an exam, bloodwork, treatments for the respiratory and eye infection, meds to go home, prescription, food, nebulizer treatment, and I am going to get her in hopefully today to be seen for continued testing and care.
Please share and keep Baby Fluff and her rescuer Lindsy in your prayers while we help give her a 2nd chance. It’s early to say what’s all going on because she needs x-rays, more bloodwork, leukemia FIV test, continued antibiotics, and maybe more nebulizer treatments.
I am so grateful for the doctors and staff at the emergency for all they do. They always go above and beyond with compassion and skill to provide quality care.
Please donate to help us help Baby Fluff, thank you!
10/8/25 UPDATE: Lucinda was examined by the doctor and dispensed antibiotics for her infection along with an oral nutritional supplement for her malnourished tiny body. She is located in Roseville and the rescuer is looking for placement once she is stronger.
10/6/25: This poor little tiny soul was found on the side of the road, eyes sealed shut, skin and bones, and helpless. Sara didn’t turn her back and gently transported Lucinda to safety. She contacted us for urgent help and in the meantime has been giving her formula, cleaning her eyes, and providing a safe warm environment.
We have approved Lucinda to be examined to get him the medical help he needs. Please keep her in your prayers. I will post an update on our page as soon as I know more about how he is doing.
9/30/25: This boy was rescued from living a life with a condition that required emergency surgery. He had a large hernia and all of his intestines were outside of his body wall and inside of the swelling. He was covered in fleas, unvaccinated, and not neutered. His angel rescuer, Nadia, asked if we could help get him the surgery needed to give him a second chance. We arranged surgery within 2 days, neutered him as well, and he is recovering. Nadia is looking for permanent placement for Savannah and it is because of her that he survived. It was only a matter of time where this hernia could have led to fatality.
Thank you Nadia for not giving up, for helping with his care, and finding him a loving home. His adoption will be through For The Love of Cats Rescue.
9/27/25: We were contacted about this adorable baby who was found injured. He was seen by the vet and will need his eye removed, but he is to small for surgery. He will also need all of the other standard things like bloodwork, vaccines, parasite check, etc.
Please consider donating so that we can help Leela!
9/23/25: A kind woman reached out to us after she found this kitty in desperate need of help. Somehow there was a roll of duct tape stuck around the neck and tape on the body that wouldn’t come off without anesthesia. We approved this sweet kitty be taken to a vet hospital and to remove the roll.
They did her spay while under anesthesia, and did her vaccine, a flea treatment and meds for her ears. She was terrified but cooperative. The rescuer said she is shut down but not aggressive.
Now she is safe, her name is “Puddin” and her rescuer is looking for placement. If you are interested please email Theresa at tessa070806@gmail.com for more information.
9/15/25: Here is the story from the rescue who contacted us for help.
“Abigail and her brother came to our rescue from a hoarding situation. They were both very sick and covered in fleas. After a bath, flea treatment, a full belly and comfortable bed they both finally slept peacefully. They knew they were safe. At their first vet check-up, the Doctor heard an issue with Abigail’s heart. She was only about 8 weeks old so they were hoping it would resolve itself after a while. But unfortunately, it did not. We need to get her to Vet Cardiologist. We took the 2-hour drive down to hear the words that she would need to have open heart surgery to close off an extra valve or else she would die. Her heart was already enlarged and we needed to get her in as soon as possible. Thankfully after much fundraising we were able to raise the money for her surgery. I reached out to 4 Paws 1 Heart and they were generous and helped with a donation to the cardiologist. I am forever grateful to everyone and every organization that helped save Abigail’s life.”
This is the letter from Abigail’s family that adopted her and her brother after her heart surgery.
“It’s hard to put into words how much bringing Abigail and Carter into our lives has meant to us. Not long ago, we experienced the heartbreaking loss of two very young siblings, Oliver and Max, to FeLV. It was more than difficult—it was devastating.
That’s why I feel incredibly fortunate to have been chosen as the family to welcome Abigail and Carter into our home. Seeing how happy and healthy Abigail is today nothing short of amazing—and it’s all thanks to the incredible work of rescue organizations. She was given a second chance at life because of people who truly care—people who refused to look the other way. I feel so lucky to be the one who got to adopt her and her brother.
Abigail is such a special little girl. She’s been through so much, yet through it all, she remained sweet, kneading her little air biscuits and calmly enduring whatever life threw at her. Now, in our home, we get to witness the joy of her blossoming alongside her brother.
Because the truth is, Abigail isn’t fully Abigail without Carter. Their bond is unbreakable, and I’m so grateful the rescue recognized that they needed to stay together.
Watching Abigail thrive and live a happy, healthy life is a beautiful thing—and we feel truly honored to be a part of it.”
