5/17/24 – Lily was rescued after having had 6 kittens in a garage. Lily’s rescuer, Jolynn, advised that Lily would need to be spayed and vaccinated but she started to ‘eat at her fur’. We authorized Lily to be seen at Anchor Bay Veterinary where it was determined that poor Lily had ring worm. Lily began treatment and would be vaccinated and spayed when healed. Also, all 6 babies were accounted for and once old enough will be adopted. – diana
5/15/24 – Lana and Batman are members of a cat community where there is a significant issue with in-breeding resulting in deaths and serious illnesses including eye infections and cats being born with entropion (basically where the eyelashes, either upper, lower, or both grow into the eye). We recently helped Silas with an eye removal and he is doing great (first two photos). Another cat we tried to help ended up passing away. Unfortunately, the rescuer, Amy, tells us there has been many deaths within the community. And now, there is Lana and Batman. In late April, Amy contacted us about Lana and Batman. They have since both been seen by Dr. Zalac at Orion Animal Hospital, and both need surgery for entropion. Here is the diagnosis for both:
“Batman – Conjunctivitis in right eye, adhesion of eyelid to conjunctiva, and entropion of the eyelid. His eyeball is viable and can be saved. She said his right sinus and eye will not heal unless the eyelid is surgically repaired. He was given a snap test (neg -), Ears were dirty so she applied revolution (in case of ear mites, then tested a sample, no ear mites were found), gave med to clean ears.
Lana – conjunctivitis in both eyes, and entropion of the eyelids. Her eyes are viable and can be saved, but the entropian needs surgical repair. Continue with eye cream to help soothe, but it can’t heal without surgery. They shaved her matts, applied revolution, and gave ear meds.
They also got distemper shots. The doctor said when they come for surgery they will get the boosters. When they heal from surgery they can be adoptable and ok to be around other cats who are vaccinated. – Amy”
Their surgeries are scheduled for June 8. And again, please remember them in your prayers. – diana
5/15/24 – Dear Friends, It hurts us to report that we will be putting a temporary freeze on future requests for assistance. As always, we will be keeping our prior commitments which are signficant and includes 3 cats requiring entropion surgeries, and two dogs requiring heart worm treatment. This does not include the many animals that are waiting for their appointments for spay/neuter and vaccinations.
Frankie is one of the cats who is scheduled in June for entropion surgery in both eyes and neuter. I earlier posted about Frankie who was rescued from the streets and was treated with ointments prior to the diagnosis of entropion. Please keep him in your prayers. – Diana
5/14/24 – Remembering our Chance when he was just learning to walk again after being paralyzed. – diana

5/13/24 – On February 20, 2024 I posted about a dog who was found curled up in a parking lot. A kind man, Anthony, saw this poor helpless animal, brought him into his home, and contacted us. Rocky was first seen at an amazing partner veterinary clinic, Five Mile Animal Hospital. At the time, Dr. Mina found that Rocky had been shot; he had a bullet in his paw and he was positive for heart worm. Since that time, Rocky has had episodes of diarrhea, a lump on his back which had to be drained twice, and the pre-treatment for heart worm. Throughout, Dr. Mina has been in close contact with me and we have continued to keep our commitment to Rocky’s full recovery. The photos clearly show what a difference Love and Donations can make in the lives of those who are rescued and those who rescue. Rocky has become Anthony’s best friend and Anthony is doing everything to make sure that Rocky has the best care. Continued prayers for this family and the love they have given an animal who has been through so much. – diana
5/12/24 – From our Board member Denise Najera, rescuer, foster mom, and creator of A Second Chance for Chance. We could not have said it better. “Happy Mothers Day to all my friends in Rescue. To those who trap, foster, bottle feed, take in seniors and hospice, injured and abused, hopeless and helpless. To those who give love, time, medicines, to those who selflessly give all they have to bring these babies back to life, ready them for life and love them till they take their last breath of life, Happy Mothers Day. Your the best of the best! Enjoy your special day.
510/24 – It was February 29 when we posted about Linx, a community cat whose eye was so infected that he needed to have it removed. We authorized his surgery at West Flint Animal Hospital and today I bring you the happy update.
Linx’s surgery was successful and he is doing great. He was recently adopted into a very loving home where he will be well taken care of and loved for the rest of his life. Here are his photos post and pre surgery. – diana
Twinkle Toes is a young adult female cat who is recovering from eye surgery. She had complications following her initial eye removal so today exploratory surgery was done to remove the tear duct gland and clean out the socket.
We are hoping Twinkle toes has a smooth recovery so that she can be on her way to finding a forever home.
If you would like to help towards her care the link is below. Gina
