10/6/20 – It is with a very heavy heart and lots of tears we update that our little Diva has crossed the rainbow bridge.

She fought like hell to survive, but she just didn’t respond enough to turn the corner and today she became too tired to go on…

Diva was loved by so many people and OMG she knew it! They know when you love them and it gives them the will to survive…

The hardest part is accepting not knowing what was wrong or how to fix them. It’s a horrible feeling of helplessness, but we learn something new from each life that enters our hearts.

I want to thank her foster mommy and daddy for loving her to pieces and for giving her several weeks of 24 hour care.

I want to thank everyone who helped with ideas and suggestions with her treatment. Also, a huge thank you to our supporters, board members, and our team at Moore Veterinary Hospital for being there every step of the way.

She was adored and will never be forgotten.. ♡ RIP sweet Diva..

10/6/20 – Prayers for Fox who was brought to the vet this morning for surgery on a torn tendon. He was fortunate enough to show up in the yard of a very kind person. Fox’s eye was in pretty bad shape, along with the rest of his body, and he was limping badly. His rescuer brought him to an emergency hospital where they did an exam and gave him antibiotics. He was later taken to a vet because he was still limping. That vet determined that Fox had a torn tendon which needed surgery. The rescuer raised some money and found a foster; the rescuer then contacted us for additional help. We were thankful to play a role in Fox’s future by adding to the money needed for today’s surgery. We couldn’t keep making a difference without our supporters and the amazing rescuers. THANK YOU – diana

10/5/20 – Can you imagine this little baby in a storm drain on such a chilly, dewy night–all alone and hungry? Well, no more. The baby is now in the home of Chance and Foster Mama Dee. You know she will keep us informed as to the baby’s progress. – diana

Update: 10/27/20 – George has found a furever home.

10/2/20 – Diva Update..

The results of the fecal pathogen profile test came back today showing that she is positive for Corona virus. Please know that this has NOTHING to do with COVID19 in humans. This is a species specific virus and not transmitted to humans.

We are looking into treatment options and Diva could use positive vibes and lots of prayers. She is a fighter like I have never seen. She is playful, a good eater, and so very lovable… We are literally trying everything that the doctors are recommending. Unfortunately, she is not responding as much as we would like.. We need a miracle!!!! She probably has more than one thing going on.. The last 5 weeks has been extremely heavy on the heart for foster mommy Dee and foster daddy Rick. Today she was 1 pound 3 oz. She is about 11 weeks old. Diva has had good days and bad days and today was a bad one. Please send positive vibes ♡ Gina.

10/1/20 – Bunny was one among ten kittens found at just a few weeks old by a 4p1h friend, Amanda R. She was spayed, vaccinated, and tested while she was expertly cared for by our friend Jo. It truly takes a village. – diana

9/28/20 – RIP Baby D. Our friend, Jo A., received a ‘911’ call at 5 p.m. last Saturday about a 1-3 day old kitten found in a cat colony who still had her umbilical cord attached and who had a leg chewed off. Jo was at work so she couldn’t respond but that is when the village stepped up. First, we contacted our good friend and 30+ year expert in cat care, Debbie N. We decided that the kitten should be taken to the emergency hospital if she could get in asap. We then contacted our friend Debra B. who agreed to transport, although the baby was a considerable distance from where we are all located. I contacted the emergency hospital who advised the wait time could be several hours. We were concerned because we didn’t know if the baby could last that long.

Upon reaching Baby D, Debra found the baby very cold and lethargic and her leg was indeed chewed off. She was also very dirty. I checked again with the vet and learned they still continued to be seriously backed up. We decided to take her first to Debbie N. who was able to clean her, feed her, get her warm and give her some love. Unfortunately, when it was time for sweet Baby D’s 11:30 pm feeding, Debbie found she had passed away. Debbie and the rest of us believe that the mom may have been confused and chewed off the baby’s leg instead of the umbilical cord. The leg obviously became very infected, and she was also in this condition during a very cold and dewy night. We are thankful that she was finally warm and loved when she passed and she is no longer in pain. We are also thankful to our Village of caring individuals who will drop everything for the love of an animal. – diana
