7/7/15 – Good News! More babies may be going to their forever homes. Remember, if you are a new kitten mom/dad, please consider adopting two. I will guarantee you that most adopters of one kitten will come back a year later looking for another baby to add to the family. Save yourself some effort by adopting two bonded kittens at the same time. You can then skip the whole socialization process and have entertainment better than any TV show you can find. ~ diana
They Were Found In a Woodpile – Beautiful Kittens
Snickers – First Rescued in an Icy Puddle
7/6/15 – Many of our friends will remember our baby Snickers. He was found by a young man and his mom, crying in an alley in Hamtramck, MI. It was January, and his 5-week old, emaciated little body was just laying in an icy puddle with both eyes crusted shut. A village of people came together to get Snickers to Gina at the emergency but we thought he would lose an eye. After visiting one of our favorite eye specialists, Dr. Easton, Snickers eye was saved. Today he is a proud foster brother to many kittens taken in by his mom and dad and a brother and mentor to Bo and Ginger. ~ diana

RIP – Sorry We Couldn’t Do Any More
7/5/15 – A call I received last night. We had hoped we could save this sweet cat but it was too late. People who think a domesticated cat can fend for themselves on the street are very wrong. They are not feral and do not have instincts needed to survive in this ‘jungle’. The cruelty of the human being can be overwhelming to understand.
“To the crazy, cruel, heartless, idiot corner lady: just want you to know that your cat, you know, the one you threw out along with the other 3 becuse you got a dog? The one I got spayed for you along with the other 3 when you left them out to fend for themselves 3 yrs ago??? Yeah, that cat. Well tonight while our pets were home alone terrified of the fireworks while we were at the emergency vet with your cat becuse the neighbors found it laying in the dirt in their yard with water dripping from a hose on its head gasping for air with fireworks going off all around her. They sent their kid over to our house instead of yours to ask for help becuse they knew we cared, unlike you. We held her paws & whispered in her ear how sorry we were that you let her become totally emaciated and that her lungs were so full of fluid they were only operating at 25%. We told her how sorry we were that she was too sick to be saved and gave her kjsses while the dr put her to sleep. Her vet bill was paid by 4 Paws 1 Heart by money donated by people who cared more about your cat then you did. RIP Beautiful girl ~ Dee”
