DONATED PET OXYGEN MASK SAVES CAT: Friends of Michigan Animals Rescue bought and donated 5 sets of pet oxygen masks to both Sumpter and Van Buren Townships as well as the city of Belleville.  On Sunday July 8, 2007 there was a house fire right next door to our shelter!  A cat was trapped inside and a firefighter went into the burning building, brought out a limp cat and proceeded to give her oxygen through our donated mask!  The cat is fine and stayed with FMAR until the family found a new (pet friendly) apartment to live in and until the family's home has been re-built.  What a great ending to a tragic story.. and what a wonderful thing Help Animals Inc. made available to purchase for our communities.
