RUDY

Posted on by

11/6/23 – Rudy showed up on his finder’s back deck in mid September. Lisa, his savior, fed him for about a month but noticed he had some health issues. She took him to a vet and had him examined, vaccinated for rabies, and dewormed. The vet also found that Rudy’s teeth were in bad shape and needed a dental cleaning and administered antibiotics for an infection. We were asked for help and we authorized Rudy to be seen at Patterson Veterinary Hospital. On November 3 Rudy had his dental cleaning and is now on medication and resting comfortably. He will have a follow-up appointment in two weeks and when fully recovered, Lisa will try to find Rudy his furever, loving home. If you are interested, please contact Lisa at: [email protected] – diana

WILLOW NOW NEEDS HER OWN HOME

Posted on by

11/5/23 – Willow, at about one year old, showed up pregnant in a garage which neighbors a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart. She later gave birth to Liam, Levi, and Nova. We were contacted to help when they all became old enough and no longer nursing. Everyone has now been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested. The three kittens have found homes and Willow is still in need of a permanent, loving home.

We continue to be on a temporary hold from medical assistance for stray animals while we continue to get through the commitments of the past few months and the invoices which go along with them. We hope to be back to somewhat normal by mid-November. Your donations save lives and we very much appreciate the support we continue to receive. Also, look forward to some exciting fundraisers which we will be telling you more about. On the docket will be Painting with a Twist, Red Wing Hockey, and Drag Queen Bingo. More to come. -diana

DONATIONS SAVE LIVES

DOTTIE

Posted on by

11/2/23 – A stray cat was found with her arm through her collar and it was embedded in her arm pit area. I’m sorry for the graphic photo but this is also about awareness. Her collar was cut out of her skin and her rescuer tried finding help for 10 hours. No one would help. Not even animal control. The rescuer was desperate to find help. When we were contacted we couldn’t say no, and fortunately were able to have her seen by one of our partner vets for emergency exam of the wound.

The area was surgically closed with a drain tube placed and we are hoping the skin will remain closed when sutures are removed next week. We are calling her Dottie. She was also malnourished and emaciated weighing only 4.8 pounds. This girl is lucky she didn’t lose her arm or die from infection. We still have a long road ahead and our financial situation remains critical when making decisions to help with medical. She was anemic and will also need all the basic vetting. If you would like to help Dottie the link is below. Here is her before and after pic. Thank you, Gina

JUDY IS ONE OF THEM

Posted on by

11/1/23 – Continuous stories about the many orphans we have helped over the summer and some of whom are still in the process of recovery. These babies have all been rescued/tnr’d by Kristin E. who we’ve been helping for quite some time with TNR and in some cases full vetting because many of the alleged ‘feral’ cats are actually domesticated. Judy is one of them. She showed up in the group of cats who were being TNR’d. Judy was already spayed and had a severe upper respiratory infection. We authorized her visit and she was treated for the infection but after 14 days, the infection still existed and Judy was having an issue eating. So, we authorized a return visit. Judy was again treated for the infection but the doctor also discovered that Judy had a very infected tooth; so infected that the doctor was just able to pull it out. Judy is now recovering with her rescuer and we’re praying that this sweet, older kitty, fully recovers soon. – diana

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE SWEET TREZZA

Posted on by

10/31/23 – It was back in May when our relationship started with sweet Trezza rescued by Kim T. after she was contacted about a cat who supposedly had a broken jaw. Well, she didn’t have a broken jaw and after several visits to another vet, Trezza was taken to Dr. Zalac at Orion Animal Hospital. Bloodwork was done, and several visits incurred but in the end it appeared that kidney cancer finally took her life. Trezza passed away peacefully on October 29 and we are so very thankful to Kim for giving her so much love and care during her final days after she had suffered far too long on the streets. – diana

CLAIRE, MIDNIGHT, EDWIN & POE

Posted on by

10/30/23 – It was September 25 when we were contacted to help a family found on the streets — mom and her babies. The rescuer tried to get them into a low cost clinic here in MI but as the families grew older, she couldn’t get them in anywhere. In the past we have worked with the Humane Society of Ohio and we were happy to do that again. Close to the border of MI, the family has been able to get spay/neutered and vaccinated and we were thankful we could help. Here is Claire, Midnight, Edwin, and Poe. – diana
