5/4/24 – Winston was dropped off at the home of a known rescuer in the neighborhood whom we’ve assisted in the pass. Bonnie, the rescuer, reported on March 20 that Winston is the “sweetest boy” who just needed vetting. We agreed to do that but then Bonnie took ill twice since then and was unable to get Winston into our vet. This week Bonnie contacted us apologizing for the delay in getting Winston to the vet but then advised that Winston was not eating/drinking and having difficulty urinating. We authorized Winston to be seen at Orion Animal Hospital. Blood work was done and Winston was given an appetizer stimulant; as of today Winston is starting to eat and drink and he will have a follow up appointment in 2 weeks. – diana

4/30/24 – Tomorrow he will have surgery to have his eye removed. It was March 27 when we were contacted by a woman who was very concerned when Lucky showed up at her home with a very severe eye issue. An owner could not be found and Teresa (rescuer) took Lucky to her local vet where it was determined that his eye would need to be removed. Lucky was given an injection and surgery was scheduled for tomorrow.

Teresa paid for that visit but needed help for the recommended surgery. Unfortunately, Teresa is in an area of MI where we do not have any partner doctors and the doctor seeing Lucky does not provide non-profit discounts. Consequently, we will be paying the “low estimate” for the surgery as provided by the clinic. Lucky will have a furever home with Teresa. – diana

4/29/24 – It was the dead of winter when Ripley found her way into a colony cared for by Jessica. She was a little standoffish at first but then started to get closer and closer liking to be petted. Jessica noticed scabs on her body possibly the result of fleas/ticks and she was very thin and had patches of fur missing. We authorized Ripley to be seen at one of our partner vets where she tested negative for FIV/FeLV. She was spayed and vaccinated and treated for her missing fur. Ripley did great and will never be outside again. Another happy beginning! – diana

On an early Sunday morning in August 2012 my friend James called me about a stray running loose. Dave and I immediately met up with James by 9 and harper where we were all able to coral him inside a fenced area. He was hiding behind shrubs, terrified, and tired. After securing him onto a leash James brought him home, 4 Paws 1 heart covered his medical, and that’s when his journey began.

James quickly formed an inseparable bond with Buddy and that friendship grew over the years.

When Buddy’s health started to decline James was there by his side the entire time, and when Buddy was ready James made the hardest most unselfish decision to let Buddy go peacefully.

Please keep James and Tim in your thoughts and prayers as they try to pick up the pieces of their broken hearts.

Here are some before and afters of Buddy. Gina

4/25/24 – Remember our boy, Snickers, who was rescued many years ago by a mom (Cheryl) and her vey young son, Joey. Snickers, just a small kitten was frozen in the icy waters in an alley in Hamtramck and could be heard crying. (see his story on our website). Heartbreakingly, Snickers recently passed away but he has not left our hearts.

Then today, Snickers’ rescuer, Cheryl, contacted us to see if we could help 3 kittens rescued by her nephew who also rescues orphans in need. These three babies, about 10 weeks old, were about to be given to a group of kids in a park by a man who was passing out kittens he had in his backpack. Fearing the kittens would be in danger, the nephew was able to get the 3 kittens and brought them to his Aunt Cheryl. All three had a severe ear mite infestation, one kitten had crusty eyes and no doubt has an upper respiratory infection which would be passed on to the others. Once again, because of this family’s love for animals in need, will be seen at one of our partner vets for their current issues and eventually be vaccinated and spayed/neutered. Cheryl will be adopting them out when fully recovered and vetted. – diana

On a another note, Joey is doing great, an adult living on his own and still rescuing animals.
