Journey – Found on a Porch with a Severe Eye Infection

Posted on by
9/15/20 -Journey was around 2 months old and weighed about 2 pounds when he was rescued. He was one of many cats and kittens being fed on someone’s porch in Detroit. A neighbor noticed he needed medical attention and grabbed him off the porch, even though she knew she couldn’t care for him. With the help of another party, Journey was taken to a vet because of an eye issue and was given medication for his eye. He was tested and found negative for FIV/FeLIV.
However, nothing more was done. He had not been given any vaccines and when our friend, Patricia, took him in, he had a huge belly which indicated worms, and was also infested with fleas and ear mites. It also appeared that Journey had an upper respiratory infection. He also had abrasions on his nose.
Patricia contacted us and we made sure Journey’s medical issues were all addressed. Unfortunately, it was later determined that Journey would have to have his eye removed. This was done last week and now Journey is doing great and will go back to the vet next week to have his stitches removed and to be neutered and vaccinated. Journey is one of many kittens who Patricia now has and who we have committed to covering their medical needs. Anyone interested should contact Patricia at: [email protected] – diana

“Charlize, the kitten that was found nearly 2 weeks ago suffering from severe burns is doing great in her foster home ! After all she has been through, the thing she craves most is human attention and affection ! Although shes making progress and continuing to heal, due to the severity of her injuries, the affected areas will become worse before they get better. Her ears appear to have been affected most severely, and will continue to require medical attention. Thanks to our amazing friends at

V – RIP – Found Under a Camper But It Was Just Too Late

Posted on by
9/10/20 – RIP Sweet V. Late last night I received a call about a kitten found under a camper. The kitten was very lethargic, emaciated, and couldn’t lift her head. I authorized for her to be seen at Advanced Animal Emergency where she was immediately taken in and attempts were made to do blood work and to stabilize her. Unfortunately, the baby was so emaciated and her body temperature was so low, it took awhile before enough blood could be drawn. After further examination and analysis of the blood work, the doctor called me, as well as her rescuer, and advised us that V’s kidney levels were “off the chart” and that she believed that any further effort would just prolong the inevitable and put V in more distress. The doctor believed that V may have ingested poison like antifreeze or may have been born with a kidney issue. With the doctor’s recommendation, it was decided that V be allowed to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Every life is precious to all of us and each time we have to make a decision like this, it keeps us all up at night. – diana

Diva – Takes a Turn for the Worse

Posted on by

9/9/20 – diva--9:9:20 diva 9:9:20I’m so upset. Serious prayers are needed for Diva… 😞 You might remember she was doing great and enjoying her spa day… Two days later she started with horrible diarrhea. She will not gain weight. She goes between 1 – 1.5 lb. She is about 9 weeks old now. Diva has a ravenous appetite, she is cuddling and she is playing, but she is not thriving with weight gain. We thought it was food intolerance so changed her to a prescription digestive food, treated her for parasites, have her on a nutracal supplement for the extra calories, a vitamin with higher iron for the loose stool, had her on an antibiotic, treated for coccidia, treated her ear infection, and she is on probiotics. Anyone that knows me is fully aware that it kills me to not know how to fix this baby girl… She is also pooping constantly. My friend and board member Dee and her awesome husband Rick are helping a ton taking care of Diva around the clock…and this baby wouldn’t be here without them! Gina

Simon and Toby – RIP – We Couldn’t Help Them Quickly Enough

Posted on by
9/9/20 – RIP Sweet Simon and Sweet Toby. Both were among 4 litters and 4 moms who were rescued in southwest Detroit. Unfortunately, before we could step in to help, 2 of the kittens died. Toby and Simon were both seen a number of times by vets and on his last visit, Toby passed away before the doctor could see him. Simon was diagnosed with FIP, which may have been the cause of the other deaths and after much consternation, the rescuer allowed him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Please continue to pray and support the many stray, abandoned, and lost animals roaming our streets. And, if you have a little more room in your heart, please pray for the many rescuers and fosters whose hearts break every day at the loss of an innocent animal they tried to save. Unfortunately, the wait time for appointments in our low-cost clinics and veterinary hospitals continues to be an issue and the best we can do is to prioritize those animals closest to being able to reproduce. It has been a challenge for all. – diana

Posted on by
9/6/20 – Happy Update! Remember the Excavator Kittens? The Harrison Twp. Engine House, next door to our friend, Jo, contacted her about days-old kittens stuck in an excavator which was on their property. It was a stormy night but our friends, Jo and Debra, went into action and freed them all and off they went to Jo’s house to be cared for until they could get all of their medical needs taken care of and adopted. They were finally old enough last week and today are doing great. Please contact Jo at: [email protected] if you are interested.
