No animal deserves to be abused, neglected or tortured!

This little kitty was found this morning in a horrific way in Windsor Ontario.

This was NOT a accident, this was intentional. Whomever did this to this sweet little kitty needs to be punished.

If you know who did this please reach out to us or TLC Animal Aid or to Animal Welfare or the Windsor Police and report it.

This kitty wasn't hurting anyone, she was being cared for by a caregiver and she was loved. Just because she didn't have a home doesn't mean she didn't have a right to continue to live her life the way she and her caregiver wanted.

NO ONE has a right to take the life of another living being, whether it be a animal or human!

This morning, we received a phone call that broke our hearts. 💔 A deceased cat was discovered hanging from a fence in an alleyway in downtown Windsor, under circumstances that are deeply disturbing and raise serious concerns about possible animal cruelty.

Her name was Little Baby. 💔

We have photographs of the heartbreaking scene, but they are far too disturbing to share. Instead, we want you to see her beautiful little face and remember her this way.

Little Baby had been through the SNR (Shelter-Neuter-Return) program. Someone, somewhere, had cared enough to bring her in to be spayed, giving her a chance at a healthier life. Someone had looked out for her. Someone had shown her kindness. And now, her life has ended in such a heartbreaking way.

We have reported the incident to Provincial Animal Welfare Services and the Police, and we sincerely hope the circumstances surrounding Little Baby's death will be investigated.

Community cats may not have a home to call their own, but that doesn't make their lives any less valuable. They feel fear. They feel pain. And they deserve kindness and protection just as much as the pets sleeping safely in our homes.

Little Baby had a name. She was known. She was cared for. And her life mattered. We couldn't let her passing go without acknowledging that. 💔

A heartfelt thank you to Pat and Charlene for caring enough to stop, help Little Baby, and make sure she wasn't simply forgotten. In a world where animals can experience such cruelty, we're grateful there are still people who choose kindness and compassion. ❤️

Rest peacefully, Little Baby. You deserved so much better. 💔🌈🐾

We welcomed these two adorable pups into our rescue along with Gracie Lou this past week.

Roscoe was a owner surrender due to no fault of his own, as his previous owner sadly passed away and no next of kin was able to take him in. Roscoe recently underwent heartworm treatment and did well and is settling into his foster home now.

Red (with her little mohawk and grinch feet ) 🤣 was found at a water plant by a good samaritan and brought to animal control, we were able to take her into our care and provide her with heartworm treatment and she did amazing! She is settling into her foster family's house where we are getting to know more about her and will post her full bio in the the coming weeks along with Roscoe'.

We would like to thank everyone who had a part in saving these precious souls, from our generous donors, supporters, veterinarians, volunteers, fosters, third party fundraisers and transport teams. We couldn't continue to help these precious souls get the help they need and find the forever homes they deserve without all of our amazing rescue village!

We appreciate all of your likes, shares and comments on our posts these help in the algorithm to get our dogs seen!

Psst, we've been keeping a cute little secret. 🤫🥰

But today we are ready to let everyone know that our survivor and miracle girl, Gracie Lou is right here with her foster family. 🤗

Gracie Lou has been settling in with with the other dogs in the house and her foster parents, she has seen our local veterinarian and had all her bloodwork, f***l tests re-ran and a full exam and been given a clean bill of health! 🎉

If you don't remember her original story, here is the links to them and her fight to stay with us below.

Our girl is a fighter and a survivor and we cannot thank all of our amazing supporters who stood behind Gracie Lou and us to help her continue her fight for her life.

We knew that she had the will to live and we are so thankful for our awesome veterinarian team for all of their compassion, extensive medical knowledge, and support for our rescue animals.

Thank you to everyone who helped get this sweet little girl safely to us and even rolled out the "princess treatment" for this beautiful little lady! 👸

JERRY-ADOPTED-October 7, 2026🐾

1,055 days is how long we helped Jerry search for his pawfect forever family!
From the time we saw his adorable, scared, little face in that kill shelter till the day of his adoption, we knew Jerry would pick his own family and he sure picked an amazing family with The MacFarlane's! ❤️

Jerry is a cute little boy, but he also has his own quirky personality and if you allow him, he will work you over for too many of those T.R.E.A.T.S if you are not paying attention to what he really is doing, among other things. 😜

When the MacFarlane family met Jerry at one of our events, he walked up to them and we knew he "picked them", but we didn't want to get ours or his hopes up as we know people change their mind about adopting a dog all the time.

We were thrilled to see their application come through our website and the meet and greet at their house went just as lovely with Jerry playing with the kids and being loved by the whole family.🏡❤️

We cannot thank Jerry's amazing foster mom for sticking with him all this time and helping him to learn a lot of new things he can bring into his new forever home.

We are so overjoyed for Jerry on finding his pawfect forever family, we will miss seeing him at all the events, but we know he has an amazing family who he needs to bond with now. 💞

Thank you to the MacFarlane family for seeing what we all knew and loved in Jerry and being willing to accept him, quirks and all! 🩵🐾
