From Ring Camera to Rescue: Help Gus Heal

Posted on by

7/24/25: A Ring camera captured an injured stray. They are calling him Gus. He was seen limping on their camera and we were contacted for help to assess the injury. We approved exam and x-rays at West Flint Animal Hospital. The rescuer trapped Gus and made an appointment to get him in right away. Gus is unable to flex his elbow and they suspect an anconeal injury causing lack of mobility. He was sent on pain meds, rest, and anti-inflammatory. He was vaccinated and checked for fiv/felv. He was healthy per the doctor.

After two weeks the injury remains the same. Now Gus needs to see an orthopedic doctor but the quote is $1000-$1500 for a CT and consult. Gus also does not have a home and he was a cat that was neutered and released at some point because he has a tipped ear.

The rescuer deeply cares for Gus and she is trying to explore all options. This is the very sad part of stray cats. They get injured and sick. I wish we could help all of them.

Have a Happy New Life Gus

8/19/24 – In mid-July, the rescuer, Samantha, saw a post from a man pleading for help for a stray cat who wound up in his back yard. He was afraid for the cat because his neighbor’s dog was very reactive and often escaped into his yard.

Doing some research, Samantha saw that the man had posted two weeks prior but there were no takers to help this sweet boy. She couldn’t turn her back and shortly after, Samantha and her husband picked up the cat, Gus, and decided to give him a permanent home. The first night, Gus, was understandably scared but after Samantha spent a few nights with him, he became more settled in.

We were happy to have Gus vetted at Patterson Veterinary Hospital. – diana https://4paws1heart.ord/donations/
