4/23/14 – Happy Update: Many of you may remember Mr. Honeybell. Our 4P1H friend, Dave, contacted us for help. He and his wife had been sheltering and feeding Mr. Honeybell (outside) after he was abandoned by his owners. With such a severe winter, Dave became very concerned for Mr. Honeybell’s well being and then he saw that the cat was limping. On January 23, 2014 with the help of our good friends from Paws For The Cause Feral Cat Rescue, Mr. Honeybell was taken to the vet. 4P1H paid for his medical treatment and neutering and we’re happy to say that Mr. Honeybell is very healthy, not limping, and slowly falling in love with his new family. Here is Dave”s latest update ~ diana:
“Just wanted to let you know that we have become great friends. He does something I have never seen. He grabs my arm with his front paws, roles on his back and pushes on it repeatedly with his hind paws… No claws… Then he gives me a nibble on the hand and kisses.” ~ Dave
We received a call from someone who asked if we could help with a stray cat that had been wandering the streets for at least a year. We offered to help pay for medical if they were willing to hold on to the cat until a rescue was available for permanent placement. When the cat was brought in we tested her for feline leukemia and fiv and she tested negative, but we took an x-ray because her belly was big. We discovered she was very pregnant. Thanks to networking on our 4 Paws 1 Heart, page someone saw the story and was willing to help foster the mom until the babies are weaned. In the meantime, we’re looking for a rescue as backup for the kittens. The foster mom said Livingston County shelter is willing to take the kittens once they are old enough. The woman who initially found Precious will take her back and permanently give her a forever home once she is done nursing the kittens. ~ gina
