Tito suffered minor burns after the deadly house fire he was in last weekend. It is still unknown if Tito has any remaining family left, and I am waiting to hear from the fire chief. There is a strong possibility that Tito might need a new home is he is on his own, and we will be here to do whatever is necessary to help him find love, support, and safety. My heart just breaks for him not knowing what to expect:( ~ gina

New Partnership with Cats Veterinary
ANNOUNCEMENT: 4 Paws 1 Heart is pleased to announce our new partnership with Cats Veterinary in Clinton Township. We have established a fund to be called the 4 Paws 1 Heart/Cats Vet fund which will provide medical dollars for abandoned and stray animals. We will jointly work together to raise funds and encourage donations through the veterinary hospital — all for the good of the abandoned and abused. Please ‘like’ the facebook pages of Cats Vet, Harper Woods Veterinary, and the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center as thanks for all that they do. Here are the first orphans who will be helped through this new fund. ~ diana
“A client of the veterinary feeds outside cats and has his whole garage dedicated as a shelter for the cats. The garage has heated cat trees, scratching posts, cat beds, etc. He noticed that one of his new ‘tenants’ was pregnant and gave birth in his garage. He was taking care of mamma and babies and planned to spay her once the kittens were weaned. Then one day he came home from work to poor mama on the side of the road, hit by a car and dead. He did not know how to take care of bottle babies so he called me. The staff gladly agreed to take over bottle feeding duty and the kittens were brought in. All of the babies are doing great and they even attended the recent People, Pets, and Vet event at Macomb Community College. They will be up for adoption soon; they are 4 weeks old now. All adoption fees will go into the 4 Paws 1 Heart/Cats Vet Medical Fund.” ~ Sasha, Board Member, 4 Paws 1 Heart

Motown Event
A HUGE Thank You to all of our friends who turned out for our Motown Event last night at Colleen’s Irish Pub. 200 people came out to support the abandoned and abused. Although the d.j. didn’t quite capture what Motown music is and the PBR guy forgot to drop off the swag,it looked like everyone was hanging out and having a great time.. We gave out over $2,200 in raffle prizes, Gina’s talented brothers entertained us with a few Motown songs, the evening was mild and people were able to hang out on the new patio — a fantastic night for 4 Paws 1 Heart. It was a record night for us in fundraising. My sincere thanks to Pam, Darlene, Dee, Melissa, Rose, Dennis, and my wonderful husband, Tony, for working so hard during the evening. Although my body is aching, my heart is swelling with gratitude and love. ~ diana

11/3/13 CROSSPOSTING FOR A 4P1H FRIEND: My next door neighbor moved and left his cat behind. He lives outside and I need to find a rescue that will help him before it gets cold. Last night, he cried all night long. I can’t take him in because I have two cats of my own who are strictly indoor cats so I feel so sad. Please let me know if you can help me. I’d like to get him a home ASAP! Thank you for your time! Please contact Jennifer Cahill at [email protected] if you can help. ~ diana

Saving Tito from a House Fire
Fire Department in a nearby city called the clinic tonight. They saved this dog “Tito”, from a house fire, but paramedics were working on his poor owner. We are uncertain if his owner survived the fire, and firemen had no where for the pup to go.. Jenn Fecht and her husband Nick dropped everything to transport this pup to the ER vet. 4 paws 1 heart didn’t have to hospitalize, so I took him home to love on him until if and when a family member contacts us. He was terrified more than anything, but has since warmed up and is doing great with the crazy mix here at the Gina Inn! . . Gina
