Bruno’s Cry for Help Led to Safety

Posted on by

1/20/26: Bruno was found outside, covered in wounds, and clearly struggling. His rescuer was deeply concerned but also afraid to bring him inside, as she has cats of her own and needed to be sure it was safe. She wasn’t certain if Bruno’s injuries were from abuse or from other animals — but what she did know was that he was hurting.

One day, Bruno cried at her door, begging to come inside. Even after being advised by local animal control to leave him outside, she couldn’t turn her back on him.

We approved Bruno for a veterinary exam, where he sadly tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Bruno deserves safety, comfort, and love. The rescuer is working to find Bruno a home so he can finally be off the street for good. Thank you to everyone who listens to their heart and speaks up for cats like Bruno when they need it most.

This is Bruno

3/18/25. I wanted to share this email with our supporters. It’s from an employee at an animal hospital telling her story about Bruno, a cat that 4 paws 1 heart helped her with. Gina

“Hello, this is Bruno. Bruno came into the veterinary office I work at as a Stat Hit by car. He was unable to walk with his back legs. We did X-rays and he had at least three fractures in his pelvis making it a dislodged pelvis. With no owner, it wasn’t looking good for this poor street cat. He was filthy, unaltered and full of tapeworms as well. It was looking like he was going to be euthanized as there was no one to take over his care.

He would do best with surgery but could heal with 8 weeks cage rest the vet told me So, I decided to take him in and try.

After the first 6 days he had not had a bowel movement. I brought him back into my work and did more X-rays. Full, he was full of poop. We were unsure if he could even push. He had the night to provide a bowel movement or the next day he would have to be euthanized. I told him he had to poop and he did that night. I cried I was so happy. As of today, he is doing great. Still on cage rest for another 3 ish weeks. He loves pets and purrs. I can’t help but think he was loved by someone at some point in his life. We are unsure of age but he looks about 2yrs based on his teeth. We tried finding owners for weeks and got nothing.

He’s a lucky boy. He’s lucky I was working that night, lucky that man brought him to our vet, he’s lucky someone saw him and cared enough to wrangle him into a box and get him help and I’m lucky to have found Gina and her wonderful organization. God bless and thank you all for everything you do. These animals have voices because of people like us and I’m so happy to be part of a community of people who love helping animals”.
