10/17/24 – On October 6 I received the following: “I have a cat who has come to me on Saturday starving and a bag of bones skinny. I think she is a girl and she came from a home where she was neglected. Her ears are nothing but scar tissue and she seems to have an eye infection and she is completely emaciated. When she showed up on my porch she was covered in skunk spray. In spite of that, she’s super friendly. I have been feeding her and giving her water but I am worried that she won’t survive the winter in her current state as I am not able to bring her into my home. She looks old, but her teeth are all very white. I’m estimating her age based on her physical condition. All of her joints stick out. – Malissa”

Gremlin was seen yesterday at our partner veterinary hospital, Orion Animal Hospital. He does have an upper respiratory infection but didn’t need to be neutered. He also had a heart murmur. He did have fleas but no ear mites. He will be seen again in 4 weeks as a follow up and will receive vaccines as appropriate. Malissa has a few friends interested in adoption but if those fall through, her family will be keeping him because Gremlin’s already fitting in nicely. More lives changed because of our supporters and people who care. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
