Gabriel – Returning to the Vet; Has His Eye Removed

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Diana

8/23/19 – Update: Gabriel had his eye removal surgery and is doing great.

8/22/19 – Please say a little prayer for Gabriel who I posted just a couple of days ago. He was to seen the doctor again tomorrow but today blood started gushing from his eye. He’s at the vet now and the doctor will try to fit him in for surgery today. If not today, he will be stabilized and have surgery tomorrow.

If you follow us regularly, you will know that we have had many serious cases this past Spring and Summer — everything from amputations to heart worm to eye removals. Our funds are going out faster than they are coming in. So, please if you can, take the opportunity to donate this week and have your donation doubled through the $1,000 match.

Only with your help can we make a difference for the animals and the people who save them. Thank You, diana

Gabriel – Found in a Garage With a Protruding Eye and Very Ill

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Diana

8/21/19 – Two nights ago I received an emergency call about a kitten found in the garbage whose eye was protruding and he appeared very sick. Fortunately, we were still able to get him into a vet still open. Gabriel was stabilized but it was determined that his eye would need to be removed. His surgery is scheduled for this Friday. The rescuer took Gabriel home after the vet visit and he met another kitten who was recently rescued with a similar eye issue. The rescuer was a little apprehensive in introducing the two but, happily, they have become fast friends. Gabriel’s medical bills will probably be close to a little over $500 before all is said and done. We told the rescuer that if we can be successful in raising dollars during our Matching Campaign, we would help with Gabriel’s buddy (the black kitty). So, if you can help, it would be appreciated. Candice, the rescuer, said that Gabriel was immediately sleeping with her and was a purring machine. These animals would die a horrible death without all of us working together. – Diana

Azela, Vortex, Izzy & Sox, Cannoli, Samantha, Brutus, Skippy, Onyx, Orphan Kittens, Annie, Bubba, Ellie, Hercules, Stray Kitten, and Katniss – Happy Update Photos

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Diana

8/19/19 – 9 years ago Diana Rascano and I began an organization to help stray cats and dog’s by paying for medical care. The idea was we would help that injured or sick stray on the side of the road so that he/she would not suffer. We would help alleviate their pain. Once stabilized that stray animal would be networked for placement if no owner was found.
Our 9th Anniversary was yesterday. Since then we have branched out and we have been able to help thousands of animals.
I have learned so much along the way..
Without the support of our board members, our significant others, the veterinarians, the hospital staff, the individual rescuers, the rescue groups, the shelters, the animal control officers, the law enforcement, and all of the hard work of Diana, we would not be where we are today.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
This organization means so much to me…words can not describe.
I am just going to add a few pictures of the animals that 4 paws 1 heart has given a 2nd chance to. Each one of these animals has a back story.. It could be abuse, starvation, sick, orphaned, dumped, etc.. The important thing is they would not be where they are today without the support of “4 paws 1 heart” and that’s why we need to keep going. They need us.♡ Read the stories of Azela, Vortex, Izzy and Sox, Cannoli, Samantha, Brutus, Skippy, Onyx, Orphan Kittens, Annie, Bubba, Ellie, Hercules, Stray Kitten, Katniss. – Gina

9th Anniversary – Celebrating the 4P1H Anniversary With Saving More Animals

Posted on September 10, 2019 by Diana

8/18/19 – Dear Friends, Today is our 9th Anniversary. Hard to believe it’s been 9 years of funding medical treatment for abandoned/stray and abused animals. We are blessed to have many supporters which includes individuals, veterinarians, and businesses. We couldn’t have helped over 6,000 animals to the tune of $850,000 in medical bill payments without all of you.

Today, another one of our Board members has generously offered to match up to $1,000 in donations made between today and next Sunday, August 25, 2019. Please help us meet the goal. Your support saves lives. Here are a few of the many animals we’ve helped over the past couple of months. ~ diana

Posted on August 20, 2019 by Diana

8/15/19 – Update on our Miracle. After her initial vet visit, Miracle’s leg seemed to be getting better. Dead skin was falling off and the leg seemed to be improving. Today, her rescuer contacted me to report that there has been a setback. Miracle will be going back to the vet tomorrow. Please say a little prayer for her. We are committed to her and if she needs to have the leg amputated to save her life, we will be there. Also, Miracle will be needing a forever home. ~ diana

Bandit – RIP – Sweet 12 Year Old Found Alone on the Streets

Posted on August 20, 2019 by Diana

8/15/19 He was rushed to the emergency last night and will have further testing today. Without you the Bandits of the world would die on the streets. Thank YOU for helping. ~ diana

8/16/19 – Update – Bandit was taken to another vet the following day and a huge mass was found near his organs. It was decided by the rescuer and the doctor that it would be kinder to let Bandit cross the Rainbow Bridge. ~ diana

Coco – Happy Update on the Kitty Seen Being Hit by a Car

Posted on August 20, 2019 by Diana

8/13/19 – Trust me when I say that I still have a lot more cases to report on but I know that our supporters love happy beginnings so here is one on Coco. It was late December when a kind couple saw a kitten get hit by a car. The driver never stopped but, fortunate, the couple did; otherwise, the kitten would have been run over again on the busy road. The couple brought her to the nearest vet and $400 later contacted us to see if we could just assist with the future medical. We not only did that but we were able to pay for Coco’s emergency treatment. The other day I received an update from Sharon, the rescuer. Coco is doing great and is much loved in her forever home.
We couldn’t do this without you supporting our community partners and our fundraisers — as well as your donations. We thank you so muc
