JUST RESCUED! Help needed

When a neighborhood stray was hit and killed by a car, nobody even knew about her itty-bitty babies. Four days later, a kind lady heard their mews for help and searched until she found them. The 2 babies were only about 10 days old, and without a mom to care for them and keep them clean, they were in very bad shape and infested with maggots and fleas. One of the kittens had severely infected wounds into its abdomen and was not able to survive. The other tiny baby was weak but still fighting to live...she is called "Liberty." Liberty needs around-the-clock care to flush and treat one of her eyes that had maggots in it, and she may still lose that eye. She also needs to be bottle fed every 2 - 3 hours. Liberty wouldn't have been given a chance at many places, but at Guardian Angel, a no-kill rescue, she will be given every opportunity to overcome her rough start and live a happy, healthy life. Please consider a donation to help cover Liberty's care.  Click on the link above to donate via Paypal, credit card, or to send a check in the mail.

It's Kitten Season!

We're showing our babies on Saturdays at Petsmart Commerce!

You can visit our little ones at Commerce Petsmart! Most of our kittens are too small to stay at the store, so we'll be showing the kittens every Saturday from 12pm-4pm - until they all found their homes!

Thinking of giving up your older cat?

Please read below for some important steps to consider!

Older Adult Cat Owner give ups probably make for the saddest stories. After many years of living in a home where they were loved and felt comfortable, they suddenly find themselves in overcrowded shelters or rescues. Their reaction: stress, anxiety, aggressiveness, which makes them practiably unadoptable.

Please read the full article and talk to us before your cat gets into an unsolvable situation!

Latest medical topic: Ringworm

We need help saving these cats and kittens!

GAAR is currently working with Livingston County Animal Control (LCAC). They are a High Kill Shelter due to the high number of owner surrenders and strays. Though they have changed their euthanization policy from 7 to 30 days, which gives the animals a better chance to get adopted, they are in desparate need of more rescue groups to help them find those cats a home or foster within the time frame.

GAAR has taken over 200 cats from Livingston since August, 2009. LCAC has been great to work with and we have developed a great working relationship, but we cannot continue to pull without help. 

We are in desperate need of cat and kitten fosters! Please call 734-788-6857 if you are willing to join our team and foster one of these wonderful babies. 

And if you're not sure what fostering actually incorporates, please call, too, maybe it's a great volunteer opportunity for you - and if not, we'll figure that out with you!

The Jessica Nagle-Wilson Foundation

Jessica Nagle-Wilson was a Hazel Park, Michigan Police Officer, who was shot to death after responding to a disturbance call on July 28th, 2002 at the age of 26.

Her family formed the Jessica Nagel-Wilson Charitable Foundation to support the things that Jessica loved. Animals were close to her heart.  Jessica provided homes, love and food for the animals in the Hazel Park animal shelter.

The Jessica Nagel-Wilson Foundation made a very generous donation to Guardian Angel Animal Rescue. 

We are very grateful and honored to help animals in need in Michigan in Jessica's name.
