Sweet Avery’s Miracle Recovery
This brave little kitten, Sweet Avery, is FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE After
surviving a NEAR DEATH ordeal. Avery is showing us all what it means to be a fighter. Each day, she’s getting stronger and stronger and it’s breaking our hearts in the best way — she’s started to PLAY A LITTLE! We’re by her side every step of the way, fighting the good fight with her, and Avery’s spirit is inspiring everyone who’s following her journey. She’s on several medications to help her make a full recovery and every bit of help counts. You can support her care (and all of our kitties too) by donating from our Amazon wish list or through our link tree in our bio. Every donation brings Avery closer to a happy, healthy life.
Thank you so much for caring about Sweet Avery’s story and for considering a donation to help, and for being part of Avery’s journey.
Thank you for helping Sweet Avery fight for her life! 🐾

Meet Avery, the tiny kitten who's been through more than any little soul should ever have to endure. Found all alone on Harson’s Island in a marsh area left for dead, this precious baby was just trying to fend for herself with a broken canine tooth, a missing piece of her upper lip, and a paw that may be broken. 🐾💔 Her tiny body is so frail and weak, she is skin and bones and her little kitty spirit has been battered.

Avery's story is one of hope and resilience. A kind man stepped in to rescue her, providing critical care and nursing her back to health with syringe feeding and gentle love before he brought her to us. Now, she's in our care, and we're working tirelessly to continue her critical care and to help her heal and thrive.

Avery's progress has been nothing short of miraculous. She's starting to eat on her own, and her little personality is beginning to shine through. 🌟 But she still needs our help and will need continual medical care. Every donation, big or small, brings her closer to a life free from pain and fear. 🙏

Will you consider a donation to help us to help her? We have an Amazon wish list and we have multiple ways. You can donate via our Link tree which can be found directly on our pages or the link below… ⬇️ Thank you!

Meet Cosmo, the adorable little ball of fluff who stole our hearts! This tiny boy was found all alone on someone's porch, but now he's safe and sound with us. Cosmo's a friendly little guy who's about 8 weeks old, and despite being a bit skinny and fighting off a URI (Upper Respiratory Infection), he's purrfectly precious.

Cosmo's already bringing joy to our rescue, and we can't wait for him to find his forever home next month! But to make sure he gets the care he needs, we need your help. 🐾💖

Will you help us care for Cosmo and our other kitties? You can support us through our Linktree, which has an Amazon wish list and links to donate. Every little bit counts, and we'd be forever grateful for your support!

Thank you for being a part of Cosmo's and all of the rescue kitties journeys! 🐾

UPDATE! 5/23/25 Chowder went to our Veterinary Partner, West Woodward Animal Hospital yesterday and got the medical he needed and is back with us and recovering well. We thank everyone for their donations and support!

Meet Chowder, the adorable kitty who got himself into a bit of a sticky situation! This little furball managed to get his head stuck in a can of clam chowder, and it's a miracle he was discovered thanks to a security camera at the food facility in Warren where he was spotted roaming around with the can on his head! 🐱📹 The footage must have been quite the surprise for the staff there, but luckily, it led to a team of rescuers being called in to help the poor thing.

The rescuers for this boy worked for 15 min to carefully remove the can from his head, and despite getting a few cuts, Chowder's spirit remained unbroken. 🐱💕 This sweet boy might be a little bit skinny, but his loving personality more than makes up for it. He's already stolen the hearts of everyone around him with his affectionate nature and joyful demeanor. 🌟 Chowder's resilience and good nature make this rescue so much more special. Now, we're reaching out for a little help. We could use your support to help to get him the care he needs. 🐾💖 Your donation will go directly towards his treatment and help him recover from his ordeal. Let's come together to give Chowder a second chance at a happy, healthy life! 🐾

Will you help Chowder? You can donate today and be a part of this little guy's journey to a brighter future!

Happy Mother’s Day! We have some babies without mommas so we really want to take this time to encourage TNR and helping your own community cat population. Do your part by getting educated and learning how to trap, neuter, and return (TNR) in your neighborhood. TNR is very rewarding and life-saving for these cats and kittens! With more people getting involved and doing their part, there would be less homeless babies stranded and alone left to fend for themselves. 🐱 🐾

Look who we don’t think has a broken leg after all and is walking and using his legs and getting stronger and stronger everyday! Little Cashew is doing so great after his near death ordeal. Thank you to everyone who has donated and special thanks to Jess (you know who you are) who literally saved this baby’s little life! 🐱 🐾

Meet little 8 wk old, Cashew who was found yesterday morning on the side of the road in the cold rain. A nice samaritan noticed him and scooped him up and rushed him to our local vet office. He was soaking wet, hypothermic, hungry and was having some trouble walking. He was barely alive! He may have a broken leg, but we won’t know until he gets X-rays next. After slowly warming him back up to a normal body temperature and giving him warm fluids, food and some antibiotics… he has shown some improvement overnight. Meowing and wanting to walk around and eat. This little boy is going to need all the help he can get! Please consider donating to help us to help him. We have a link tree here -> http://linktr.ee/motorcitytrappers and in our bio for supplies or donations. Thank you! 🐱 🐾
