Tiger May You Rest in Peace

Posted on by

4 Paws 1 Heart received an emergency notification about a cat she had seen while doing TNR.  She had seen the cat a couple of times and his health seemed to be worsening.  The person who had been feeding the cat refused to let her take in the animal although he was visibly sick.  The TNR person said the cat’s mouth had a terrible odor and he wasn’t eating.  She finally got the ‘caretaker’ to agree to let her take him into the clinic and 4 paws agreed to help. Upon examination,  it was discovered that Tiger had infected tumors in his mouth, he was very dehydrated, and he tested positive for FIV.  He was humanely euthanized.

We are thankful to this very caring woman who worked so hard to minimize this poor baby’s suffering by convincing the caretaker to give him up and by contacting 4 Paws 1 Heart for help.

Kittens, Kittens and More Kittens

Ginger Snap

A woman who had 2 cat moms and kittens and one pregnant female contacted a local vet for help.  The vet contacted our Angel of Mercy, Gina.

Gina contacted our very good partner friend, Out On A Limb Cat Rescue, to see if they could help with at least one litter, and, may God bless them, they took in everyone.  They are:

Ginger Snap – 3 weeks pregnant;  Jynx with 5 black and white kittens; and Ebony with 4 black kittens.

4 Paws 1 Heart paid for all testing and, thankfully, everyone tested negative.  Hopefully, everyone will find their furever homes but 4P1H will be there for spaying and neutering when and if needed.

R.I.P. – Baby Girl

Posted on by

Baby Girl was a Boxer that was hit by a car in Roseville last week.  She had a broken back.  A  resident brought her into the clinic because the police wouldn’t. We gave her a pain injection, did x rays which confirmed a severed spine, and we euthanized her.  The owner paid for a private cremation for her remains.  May God Bless the good Samaritan who brought in this poor little one.

A word for all pet owners – please watch your pets.  Do not let them out unless you are sure your gate is locked (you never know when a meter reader, or your child, or whomever, may have left it open.  Make sure you do not have escape ‘areas’ in your yard.  You are responsible for your loved ones; they rely on you.

p.s. In deference to the owner, we have not posted a photo of this lost little one.
