Emergency Rescue: George’s Eye Surgery

Posted on by

3/30/26 Update: Today… he’s alive, pain-free, and finally safe. After I shared his story, a veterinary technician I used to work with reached out about adopting him. I connected her with the kind man who rescued George, and now he has a loving place to call home.

A special thank you to West Flint Animal Hospital for getting him in immediately and providing the emergency surgery he needed.

This is what your support does, and I am deeply grateful.

3/8/26 Update: The wonderful news is that George is recovering beautifully and feeling so much better!

Now he just needs the final piece of his rescue story. A loving home or a rescue willing to give him a chance.

George is currently in the Flint, Michigan area. If you can help, please contact James at jamespfeiffer61@gmail.com.

WARNING – GRAPHIC

2/27/26: Update: I have been communicating with the hospital. He’s in surgery right now.

2/27/26: Yesterday, we received an emergency email about a tiny kitten, George, who was found in horrific condition nearly one month ago in Flint, Michigan. The rescuer initially brought him to a veterinary clinic but because it was not a full-service hospital they were advised to transfer him to a local shelter. Fearing he could be euthanized immediately due to the severity of his condition, the rescuer urgently began reaching out for help with no success.

As soon as we were contacted, we stepped in and arranged for immediate medical care. George is currently at one of our trusted partner veterinary hospitals, West Flint Animal Hospital, where he is receiving the care he desperately needs.

We are grateful to the rescuer who refused to give up on him — and to our veterinary partners who act quickly when every moment matters.

Please keep this little one in your thoughts today.

Making a Difference — One Spay/Neuter at a Time

Posted on by

11/28/25: Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the cycle of suffering for unwanted animals. It not only keeps our pets healthier, but also helps prevent countless kittens and puppies from being born into homelessness or overcrowded shelters.

We have stepped in to cover the cost of spay and neuter services for these 5 kittens and mom, the impact is truly life-changing. Every sponsored surgery means fewer animals struggling on the streets, fewer litters left without care, and more resources available for those already in need.

Together, we can make a lasting difference—one spay/neuter at a time.

Here are Teddy, George, Ben, Terry, Bindy, Coal.

George The Stray: A Happy Ending!

Posted on by

7/5/25: This is George. He is/was* a stray cat who was coming around to be fed and suddenly he was crying, not eating much, and not himself. We authorized George to be seen at Moore Veterinary Hospital and he was diagnosed with an infection/abscess under his arm. He was given an antibiotic injection and in a couple of weeks he will get a rabies vaccine. George deserves to live in a forever home. He’s a very sweet boy that looks like he belonged to somebody at some point. It’s just so sad. How many homeless animals exist.

*George’s caretaker realized how much he LOVED George and took him into his home! Happy endings!

7/25/24 – Somehow I missed this but this is George. He was pulled from the Genesee County Animal Control by Underdog Rescue Ranch in late March. At the time, the rescue did not realize that the animals are not vetted. The rescue asked for our help.

George was only 20lbs and between 1 and 2 years old. He was in a foster to adopt home and we were happy to take care of his heart worm test, vaccines, and neuter at West Flint Animal Hospital. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations.

George with Streethearts Animal Rescue

Posted on by

6/10/24 – We were happy to help George with some of the cost of the MRI.

Here’s his story: George was at the Genesee County Animal Control and is now with Streethearts Animal Rescue. He was diagnosed with possible Lumber IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) while he was at the shelter. No one knows what happened..

He is was seen at DOGWOOD NEUROLOGY on Saturday for a consult and possible help. Unfortunately MR’sI are not inexpensive so we were thankful to help.

George’s MRI showed a swelling that could be trauma related, infection, or a cyst on his spinal cord. Surgery is not recommended at this time. George is being medically treated with steroids, antibiotics, and crate rest. Please continue to pray for George to completely recover.
