3/8/22 – Rest In Peace Sweet Patrick. You couldn’t have been in better hands and paws. And, God, as you welcome sweet Patrick into your loving gates, please continue to watch over Gina’s Angel, shown here. She has been a true angel for the many kitties and puppies brought into her home by her mom, Gina, the human angel. – diana

7am: As I held him in the palm of my hands I felt his heartbeat slowly fade away. He had a restless night. We were up almost every hour. Part of me thought he was getting stronger because he was more active and alert. For some reason you were meant to cross my path and although I tried my best you didn’t make it.. Rest peacefully sweet baby..11pm. : Orphan foster update.. He is about 5 ounces and 2 weeks old. Mom and sibling found deceased and he was transported to me last night for continued care. I’m doing saline nebulizer treatment every few hours, warming disc’s, tube feeding, antibiotics, sq fluids, and of course special vibes from my beautiful Angel. I’m hoping that the combination of everything will help save this little baby.. 4 paws 1 heart is covering medical care♡ It’s hard to tell, but I think this is a little boy ? so I’ve named him Patrick after the upcoming holiday. Paws Crossed. Huge thank you to Beckie Borse for getting him to me in a matter if minutes last night.- Gina

3/7/22 – Joseph was abandoned in a garage in mid January — left to freeze to death. At 3and 1/2 months old, he was rescued by our friend Patricia and she contacted us for medical assistance. Joseph was tested, vaccinated, and scheduled for his neuter but the following month he showed signs of having issues with his esophagus because he was regurgitating a lot. At that time he was again seen by the doctor and had blood work and x rays done. He also seemed to have worms and was treated for that. Unfortunately, there were no results from the February visit and Joseph, still having problems, was taken to one of our other doctors on March 4. He was found to have a high fever and was treated for that as well as worms. The blood work indicated an infection and inflammation of his esophagus. If this doesn’t clear up in 2 weeks, he will be sedated and scoped to determine what might be going on. So, please keep him in your prayers. When he is healthy, he will be neutered and available for adoption. – diana

3/5/22 – This is Ms. Tux who used to sleep next to Maxwell and was lovingly put to sleep. We were at least able to pay for her cremation and will continue to assist Linda and the feeders if any medical needs are required. Rest in Peace Sweet Ms. Tux. – diana.

3/4/22 – As much as we all try, we can’t save them all. The last couple of days have been sad in our kitty world. This is Binx. We were contacted by the mom of the young rescuer who took Binx in when she showed up in their garage. Binx seemed healthy but a few weeks ago they noticed two lumps on her belly. The family decided to just keep an eye on them. The other day they saw how the lumps had multiplied and getting larger; they also appeared to be bleeding. When the mom described the situation I was immediately brought back to when we lost our baby from mammary tumors — unfortunately, it was the same scenario. The family does not live in an area where we have most of our vet partnerships but I was able to find one we had worked with before, Animal Alley Vet in Saginaw, and they graciously got Binx in immediately. The doctor called me yesterday to confirm what I thought was the case–mammary tumors which were already ulcerated and bleeding. I authorized some further tests to be sure of the extent of the disease. It was decided amongst all parties that if the tumors appeared to be matastasizing, Binx would be humanely euthanized. Rest in Peace sweet Binx. She was very loved by the family and especially by the daughter who brought her in. – diana.

3/3/22 – Prayers for Patricia. She was found on the streets, limping. A rescuer brought her to All About Aniimals where it was found that half of her foot is missing and a bone was protruding in her leg. Fortunately, she tested negative for fiv/felv. We were contacted and we authorized Patricia to be seen at Orion Animal Hospital where she received x-rays, antibiotics, and pain meds. She is scheduled for amputation surgery March 7, 2022. We will have more information with a better photo then. – diana.

3/2/22 – Oliver Update. We were contacted about Oliver last week. She had been found by two young ladies who started “sneaking her into the house” when it got cold. Last Thursday they found that Oliver had blood in his urine. We authorized Oliver to be taken to the vet that day where he was immediately put on IV fluids and had a catheter put in. There he remained until Monday, February 28. He is back home, never to go outside again. He was released after urinating on his own with a steady stream. Prayers for this sweet boy. We do know that boy cats can have issues with urinary blockages and we hope that a proper diet will fend off any future surgeries. – diana.

3/2/22 – Creamsicle was found on the streets, limping with an obvious wound on her leg. She was taken to the vet where the wound was found to be abscessed. Creamsicle was put under and the wound was cleaned and treated. Antibiotics were given at the time and given to the finder who was to keep her in for the night. Unfortunately, Creamsicle will be put back outside because the finder cannot keep her and a rescue could not be found. But, at least she will not die on the street from an untreated abscess wound. We very much appreciate the finder who contacted us and took Creamsicle into the vet to get her the help she needed. – diana.

3/2/22 – Another happy update. Elmer came to our attention in early November, 2021. Melissa, who volunteers with a rescue we’ve often worked with, contacted us about this poor, sweet dog who had been kept 24/7 on a tie-out along with a very aggressive female dog. Melissa does outreach and had been making sure the dogs were fed because Elmer’s owner no longer lived in the house and the person living in the home fed them whenever she thought about it. One day the female got loose and attacked Elmer. The police were called because the female was loose and aggressive. Once caught, the police gave the female back to the home occupier and while the police were there the dogs were kept in crates but then when they left, the dogs were back on tie outs. Elmer would get tangled and unable to reach his food or shelter. We were contacted to cover Elmer’s medical needs.Elmer was surrendered and he was adopted by a family who first lost him in the country for a couple hours then they told the rescue that the father felt the house “smelled too much like dog”; Elmer was returned. Then he was adopted to a second family but the 40 year-old son played very rough with him and all agreed he should be returned. Since then Melissa had been fostering him and the Good News — he was recently adopted to a very loving couple. Here is his original photo and great photos with his new mom and dad.– diana

3/1/22 – This is Tina, Ike’s girlfriend. She’s been looking for Ike but today she will be trapped and arrangements have already been made to get her into the vet to be tested, vaccinated, and examined to insure she can be a part of a new inside family. She is a beauty. A huge thank you to Sherry and her husband for making a difference in so many lives. – diana

3/2/22 – And, after darkness, there is light. Remember Mr. Kat Williams. He was found skin and bones, crusted eyes, and a damaged tail. He had double yeye infections, an upper respiratory infection, and a fever. He was in the hospital over night for fluids and observation. Well, he just found his new furever home. A very close friend of his rescuer decided to share their love and home with him and his rescuer is elated because now she can continue to visit with him. His new name is Mulder and he is adjusting very well in his new home and with his new family. We are so very thankful to our many supporters who make happy beginnings like this happen. On to a new great life, Mulder (aka Mr. Kat Williams). diana
