2/24/21 – After a very sad beginning of the week, I received this very happy update. You might remember Miss TeeTee (now Miss Kiki) she’s the kitty who jumped in the rescuer’s car and refused to leave. When the rescuer gave up trying and started to drive, Kiki jumped in the rescuer’s lap and the rest is history. Here is Elisavet’s update:

“We cannot even believe how sweet, easygoing she is. I was afraid she might be a little feral after she chewed her way out of the kittypen the night before she went to get fixed but nope! She totally loves being an indoor kitty & is pretty well behaved for a hoodrat kitty lol. She does like to chew into the trashbags & if bread or bread-like products are left out unguarded, guarantee there will be parts eaten next time we see them so now the bread & bread-like products live in the oven lol.

She’s a sweet funny baby & our youngest (a boy we found outside the laundromat two yrs ago when he was just a starving wet skinny shivering kitten) has a playmate!! He had been driving our old ladies crazy wanting to play & they wanted no part of running, chasing & jumping lol. Miss Kiki LOVES to play!!

Thank u again so so much for getting her all fixed up. We adore her more than I can say.”

God’s blessings to all who rescue and may he watch over the many animals who haven’t been lucky enough to be rescued yet. – diana

2/23/21 – Remember Onyx. We don’t know how it happened but we thought she would lose a toe and her leg. We arranged to have her seen by Dr. Zalac of Orion Animal Hospital who prescribed antibiotics and medical soaks. Yesterday, Onyx had another follow-up visit and the doctor was very pleased with the results. Onyx has gained a little weight. Her wounds are almost totally healed. No more medicines, no more soaks, and she can use regular litter. Onyx was vaccinated but she is still having bowel issues. She may have irritable bowel syndrome. She has a recheck in 3 weeks. Because of our amazing doctors, our generous supporters, and the caring rescuers/fosters, another kitty found in the brutal cold, who would have surely lost her leg, or worse, died on the streets, is saved an loved. Onyx will eventually be needing her forever home so please keep this beauty in mind. She is very loving and loves to lay on the bed purring most of the day. – diana

2/22/21 – Our friend Jo A. took in a rescue 12 days ago and placed him with a great foster. The cat was eating and drinking but dragging his back legs. We were able to get him into one of our favorite doctors who found he has a crushed vertebrae, his pelvis is misaligned, and he has tail damage. Of course, we don’t know how all of this happened. The doctor gave pain meds and antibiotics and ordered crate rest. Today, the foster checked in to say that Jasper is doing much better and is, surprisingly, able to stand and walk although a little ‘crookedly’. He is now off of the antibiotics and has two more days of pain meds. He will be having a follow up visit with the doctor this Friday. – diana

2/20/21 – Batman and Winter were both rescued during this brutal month. Batman was rescued in a trailer park and Winter was rescued from the streets in Mt. Clemens, MI. Both of them are neutered, vaccinated, tested, and treated for fleas/parasites. Anyone interested in these beauties should contact Danica at: [email protected] – diana

2/19/21 – RIP Violetta. She was rescued with 3 other kittens and 1 adult cat (Micky). All 4, Sabrina, Marmalade, Tangerine, and Violetta were taken in today to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested, etc. Unfortunately, Violetta died in recovery and was brought back to life but she started having seizures — while attempts were made to get her to an emergency for 24 hour observation, her seizures became worse and the vet and the rescuer decided to humanely euthanize her. I wish we could save them all but we often don’t know how many times a female has had litters which affects the lives of the babies or what other genetic issues they may have. We are sad for the loss of beautiful Violetta but grateful that Micky is doing good and the other 3 siblings are doing well. This has been a very brutal period for animals on the streets. Please pray for them and thank you so very much for your continued support. – diana
