This Giving Tuesday, we’re thinking of all the tiny kittens who’ve come through our doors this year.

From neonates found alone needing round-the-clock feeding… to little ones who just needed time to grow… to injured kittens needing surgery and specialized care — your donations make every single lifesaving moment possible.

Because of you, these vulnerable babies get warmth, care, healing, and the chance to find forever homes.

Sweet Honey came to us after being attacked by another dog, badly injured and needing emergency surgery to remove her damaged eye. Thanks to your donations, she got the life-saving care she needed and recovered in a loving foster home.

Today, Honey is safe, healed, and adored in her forever home — a beautiful reminder of what your Giving Tuesday gift can do.

Your support helps save animals like Honey. Please consider making a life saving donation today💛

Senior Grammy was running through a gravel lot in Detroit on one of the hottest days of the summer — exhausted, overheated, and completely alone. If our team hadn’t stumbled upon her when they did, she might not have survived that day.

But Grammy never stopped trying and neither did we.

And today… she’s living the life she always deserved.
A soft bed. A safe home. And a mom who absolutely loves her and makes sure her golden years are filled with comfort, care, and joy. 💛

This is what your generosity makes possible.
Your Giving Tuesday donation helps us save senior animals like Grammy — the ones who need extra care, extra time, and extra love to finally get their second chance.

Because every animal deserves to grow old in comfort, not on the streets.

📺 We’re live at FOX 2 Detroit!

Ferb — our longest resident — is at the studio this morning with our Foster & Volunteer Coordinator, Stephanie, getting ready to go on air at 11:49 AM!

And of course… Ferb is already bringing all the energy and fun to the studio. 💙🐾 He’s so excited to share his story and charm everyone he meets!

We will be talking about Ferb’s journey, his incredible progress, and how your support this helps us continue rescuing and caring for animals just like him.

Tune in to cheer them on and help us spread the word!

117 days in our care — and if two of our staff members hadn’t found Ferb running alone in the streets that hot summer day, it could have been too late. He came to us with a severe skin infection, painfully skinny, and battling heartworm disease. Today, his skin has healed, he’s put on much-needed weight, and he’s finally getting the heartworm treatment he deserves.

And today, Ferb will be showing off his incredible progress on FOX 2 Detroit at 11:45 AM — a beautiful reminder of what second chances can look like.

Your gift this Giving Tuesday helps us save dogs like Ferb — dogs who just need someone to step in before time runs out.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re thinking about every animal who has come through our doors and every life your support has helped transform.

All day today, we’ll be sharing some of these stories — the tough beginnings, the incredible recoveries, and the happy endings that remind us why this work and your support matters so much.

You’ll meet animals like:
✨ Stone, who arrived dangerously emaciated and is now finally gaining weight, strength, and confidence.
✨ Dewayne, the tiny puppy who came in with a pr*****ed re**um and, thanks to lifesaving care made possible by donors, is now thriving in a forever home.

And many more who needed safety, medical care, love, and a second chance.

These stories exist because of you.

Your donations make emergency care, healing, and happy endings possible — not just today, but every single day.

🎄 Ferb’s First Christmas Photo 🎄

Today marks 116 days in our care for Ferb — our longest resident — and all he wants for Christmas is a family to call his own. ❤️

Ferb’s story with us began back in August, when two of our staff members found him in rough shape. He was battling a painful skin infection (now completely healed!) and heartworm disease, which he is currently undergoing treatment for. Despite everything, Ferb has remained gentle, patient, and full of love.

Throughout the entire month, we’ll be highlighting Ferb in hopes that his future family finally sees him. He deserves the warmth of a home, a soft bed, and a person to love him forever. His adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor.

A huge thank you to our friend Michelle at Pawtraits with Michelle, who came in on Saturday specifically to do a Christmas photo shoot just for him. The love and time she shared with Ferb mean the world. 📸💕

✨ Please help us help him by sharing his story. Let’s make Ferb’s Christmas wish come true. 🎁🐾

❄️ Frank & Lulu Are Waiting for Forever Cuddles! ❄️

We have two incredibly sweet adoptable cats at PetSmart Utica — Frank and Lulu — and they want nothing more this winter than to curl up in your arms. What’s better during the chilly season than cuddles that last forever? ❤️🐾

These two snuggle pros are ready to bring warmth, love, and purrs into your life. Meet them at PetSmart Utica or learn more and apply to adopt at www.macsshelter.org.

30/11/2025

Yesterday we were visited by an incredibly sweet donor — a longtime supporter who previously adopted from us — and they absolutely made our day! They stopped by with a big bundle of dog toys for our pups and snacks for our staff. 🧡

As soon as the toys arrived, we handed one to every dog, and the joy was instant. Tail wags, zoomies, happy squeaks — these small moments of enrichment make such a huge impact on their well-being while they wait for forever homes.

Donations like these truly matter. They brighten spirits, reduce stress, and remind our animals (and our team!) that our community cares deeply about them.

From all of us — two- and four-legged — thank you so much for your kindness and continued support. 💛🐾

🐶 Nori
🐱 Tom

It’s safe to say our girl Nori touched the hearts of every staff member and volunteer here. Anyone who was lucky enough to meet her knows exactly why — her gentle spirit, her resilience, and the way she leaned in for love made her unforgettable. 💛

Nori has been with us for a while, slowly gaining weight, healing, and learning that she was safe. And today… she finally got the moment she’s been waiting for. This morning, her new dad walked through our doors with a brand-new collar, name tag, leash, and bags full of everything she could ever need. He came ready to give her the world.

We watched him kneel down, whisper to her, and tell her she was going home — and in that moment, every bit of her journey felt worth it.

Happy life, sweet Nori. You were so loved here… and now you get to be loved for the rest of your life. 💛🐾
