Cass Corridor Cat Colony

Posted on by

4 Paws 1 Heart received a call for help from the Cass Corridor Cat Colony group needing emergency help for 3 kittens. Unfortunately, one kitten didn’t make it. Here’s a photo of the two surviving kittens. The kitten wearing a cone will need his eye removed. ~ gina

There are so many cats and kittens on our streets and they get such little attention from the media and others in the community. An article that I recently read quoted a feral colony volunteer as saying there are an estimated 20,000 roaming cats just in Northville alone. We must spay and neuter. ~ diana

A Sweet Boy and Girl Were Dumped

Posted on by

5/2/13  A 4 Paws 1 Heart friend recently contacted us looking for help in placing two cats who had been dumped on her dad’s property. Unfortunately I had to tell her that we are not a rescue and couldn’t help with placement but would be happy to pay for neutering and spaying if she could find them a home. She did and we did. Here’s a photo of the two the day they got fixed. We thank Jessica T. for caring and taking in these sweethearts. ~ diana

Boat Kittens

Posted on by

5/2/13 These three kittens were found on a boat with no mommy around, a Good Samaritan brought them into 4 Paws 1 Heart and we made sure that they were all healthy and prepared to go to good homes.

 5/6/13 GOOD NEWS!! All of the little ‘boat’ kittens have found their forever homes. Once again, thank you to the kind person who rescued them and brought them in to be examined and vaccinated. We are confident that these babies will be much loved! ~ diana

Meet Scruffy

Posted on by

May 7, 2013 – Yesterday a senior gentleman witnessed this dog being hit by a car in Detroit. He found the owners and they verbally said they did not want the dog, and according to the elderly man nor did they show any concern for their dog. Instead, they said to the man “you want him take him”. So he took the pup home and called for help. I offered him the option to bring the dog to me and “4 paws 1 heart” would have him examined and medically cared for. Turns out the rear Femur is badly broken. We are looking into surgery options at this time. I’ll keep you updated. We are calling him Scruffy. He smells badly and he is matted and un-neutered. Doesn’t appear that he had any veterinary care. We are going to wait until his leg is assessed before we have him groomed. But, rest assured, his life will be better from here on out. Although this kind gentleman made a generous donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart, the medical bills to get this sweetheart all fixed up will be quite significant. ~ giana

Bobby, An American Bulldog Needing Medical Care

Posted on by

5/7/13 Once again, 4 Paws 1 Heart is very thankful that we are able to help our very good friends at Misfit Angels Rescue as they work hard to save this sweet boy.  Please follow his progress on the Misfit Angels website or facebook page. ~ diana

 
“5/2/13  This is Bobby. Bobby is a 7 month old American Bulldog mix who has already had a rough start at life. He was born with a deformed paw on his left front leg and his right leg is severally bowed. Both front legs make it challenging for him to move around like a normal puppy but he does his best. Last week Bobby was the unfortunate victim of a dog attack. Unable to defend himself, this poor pup sustained major injuries around his neck and ears. He has open wounds under his chin and around his neck that require immediate medical attention. As you can imagine, this is very uncomfortable and painful for this little guy. Bobby will need surgery to properly clean up and close the open wounds. His owners surrendered him today because they were not able to give to take care of him and pay for medical treatment. Bobby will need surgery immediately before the open wounds become infected. He is a gentle spirit who just wants to be loved and he deserves a second chance at happiness. ~ Misfit Angels Rescue”
