Help needed after abandoned kittens found dumped in Eastpointe
The Brief Pet abandonment is becoming all too common and is a crime, said Eastpointe Animal Control. A litter of kittens was dumped at a Eastpointe motel and are struggling to survive. They are looking for the woman who did it, and say there's options for those in need of surrendering pets. EASTPOINTE, Mich. (FOX 2) - A little kitty and his brothers and sisters are only a couple days old, and in the care of a local rescue. The backstory Right now they could use your help after being abandoned, said Officer Ashley Sanchez of Eastpointe Animal Control. "To abandon animals this young that require so much care, they can't defend themselves they can't do anything, they would have died," she said. Video shows a woman banging on a door at the Eastland Motel in Eastpointe on Wednesday morning. Nobody seems to know who she was — but she left five kittens behind. "We're uncertain if she thought she knew where she was dropping them off at, or what happened," Sanchez said. "But we're concerned because mom is also not with them." That was when Eastpointe Animal Control was called. They scrambled to find a rescue with a mama cat who could nurse these babies. A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue in Clinton Township, answered the call. "But because that mom is nursing other kittens they are having to constantly fight," she said. "So we have to supplement them with a foster who is taking care of them." The chances of surviving for the kittens is still not 100 percent. Officer Sanchez says this is a crime — and it happens far too frequently. She's handled at least five cases this month — one of them is a14-year-old dog named Duke. "This needs to end, abandonment isn't something anybody should be taking lightly," she said. "It's not fair. It's not fair to him. And him being at 14 years old. He doesn't deserve that - no animal deserves that." Her advice is, if you are struggling and can't find a new home for an animal - to call for help. "Call as many rescues and animal control agencies, whatever it takes," she said. "Put a Facebook post out there and let them know your situation." Somebody will help — to give animals, like those kittens — a home and a fighting chance. And if you know where their mom is, or the woman who dropped them off - give Eastpointe Animal Control a call at (586) 445-5100. The Source Information for this report came from an interview with Eastpointe Animal Control.

Sanchez scores late winner in Courage's 3-2 comeback win over Current
Ashley Sanchez scored in the third minute of stoppage time and the North Carolina Courage beat the Kansas City Current 3-2 in the National Women's Soccer League on Saturday night. Elsewhere in the NWSL, Gotham FC cruised past East Coast rivals the Washington Spirit 3-0, the San Diego Wave beat the Chicago Stars 3-0, and Bay FC edged the Seattle Reign 1-0. Before the match on the road against the Courage, the Current had five wins in five games to start the season. The Courage were the last remaining winless team in the league. Haley Hopkins scored the opening goal for the Current in the 39th minute. The strike was Hopkins' first for Kansas City since she joined the club from the Courage in February. Reigning NWSL MVP Temwa Chawinga was subbed off by the Current before the start of the second half due to an unspecified injury. The Courage briefly tied the score with a goal from Ryan Williams in the 52nd minute, but Bia Zaneratto quickly restored the lead and made it 2-1 for the Current in the 57th. With hope for a win fading heading into the final moments, Courage defender Kaleigh Kurtz scored the equalizer in the 90th minute. Then, Sanchez fired the ball into the corner for the game-winner in the 93rd. The win was the first of the season for the Courage (1-3-2), and was enough to move them off the bottom of the standings and into 11th. Despite the loss, Kansas City (5-1-0) remained in first. Esther Gonzalez scored two goals in seven first half minutes in Gotham's road win over the Spirit. Almost from the kickoff Gotham took charge. Rookie Sarah Schupansky slotted home her first NWSL goal to make it 1-0 in the third minute. Gonzalez's first goal was a converted penalty kick to make it 2-0 in the 32nd minute. The Spaniard then got Gotham's third when she headed in a corner kick from Gabi Portilho. The 32-year-old forward now leads the NWSL in goals with seven. All seven goals have come in Gotham's last four matches. The Spirit welcomed back Croix Bethune, who came off the bench in the second half to make her first appearance since injuring her meniscus last August. Spirit head coach Jonatan Giráldez was shown a red card in the dying moments of the match for encroaching on Gotham's coaching technical area. Seventeen-year-old Kimmi Ascanio scored her first professional goal in stoppage team for the Wave's win on the road. With the game seemingly over, Ascanio produced an instinctive finish from inside the box to punctuate the win in the third minute of stoppage time. Hanna Lundkvist rifled a shot into the net from 12 yards out in the 31st minute. Chicago defender Sam Staab turned the ball into her own net to make it 2-0 for San Diego in the 81st. Although Chicago (1-5-0) outshot the guests 12-9, the Wave (3-1-2) did take one more shot on target (5) than the Stars (4). Racheal Kundananji found the breakthrough for Bay (2-2-2) in the 32nd minute. The Zambian latched onto a through ball from Caroline Conti, sprinted past Jordyn Bugg, and hooked the ball off the post and in. It was her first goal of the season. Playing on the road, the Reign (2-2-2) equalized when Jordyn Huitema scored a header in the 50th minute. The goal came via a well-rehearsed short corner routine from Seattle, which culminated in Sam Meza crossing the ball for Huitema to flick into the net from close range.
