Helena went to the Veterinary
1/18/14 GOOD MORNING FRIENDS: Our little Helena again went to the veterinary again yesterday. She was treated and remained under the doctor’s watch until 6:30 p.m. when Nicole picked her up. Last night Nicole sent me the following message and some photos. We’ll get some clearer photos later but I thought all of you would like to wake up to the news. ~ diana
“She is all tucked in and resting. She ate good when we got home, and is a bit more lively. She cuddled with me before getting all curled up in her bed♡
Thank you again!!” ~ Nicole
Soup went to his foster home
1/17/14 SOUP UPDATE: Soup went to his foster home yesterday. He will be there for 2 to 3 weeks. Then we will start arranging his next surgery on his femur that is dislocated. He is doing wonderfully and is soaking up the love. Soup absolutely loves his belly rubbed! ~ gina
Halo Update
1/17/14 HALO UPDATE: Although our little Halo had a visitor (and potential adopter) the other night, we are still a little concerned about his health. Further tests will be run and possibly a visit for another opinion. Otherwise, our Halo is loving life. ~ diana
7/23/14 – Halo is now in a wonderful home with a mom all to his own. 
Semi Feral Fosters
1/16/14 From Robyn Oram, a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart. I’m sorry for the small photos. ~ diana
“Dear 4 Paws,
I never gave you a proper thank you for allowing me to bring my new semi feral fosters to Gina for a combo test, and for meds for their URI’s. They are ear tipped from being part of an outdoor cat colony in Ferndale, but I was asked to foster and socialize them so they have a chance on life off the streets. Here are a few pics! Seely is on the left and Gwen is on the right. Then, there is a pic of Seely playing with a toy fish. They are about 4 months old now.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Because of you, they are now very healthy and in my home will they are toasty warm. One of the kittens is very brave, but the other remains cautious. They love to play and love to eat! I am going to start my search soon for a home for them. They need a quiet home with a single person or couple. They will need someone very patient. They startle very easily. Thank you so much for everything. It is organizations like you that have allowed me to take in these cuties and give them a chance on life instead of the streets. Thank you so much!
Robyn
Bob & Milo
1/16/14 UPDATE: Bob is on the right and Milo is on the left. Bob was brought to us in horrific condition. He was infested with parasites, having seizures, and severely dehydrated. He was hospitalized for days and for the first 3 days he didn’t even move. His new family absolutely adores him and his new brother, Milo, absolutely can’t get enough of the friendship they share. Here is Bob’s phone from July and his most recent with Milo. Love YOU, Bob and Milo! ~ gina and diana
Helena found in Taylor Junkyard
1/15/14: Friends of 4 Paws 1 Hear, Nicole Norton and Melissa Gawel Riddle, contacted us about a beautiful cat who was in very shape and found in a Taylor junkyard. Helena will need all of our help. She was examined and had limited treatment from a veterinary today. Without talking to Melissa Gawel Riddle, who will be fostering this sweetheart for The Devoted Barn, my guess is that she is going to need to see a specialist and I will be working with Melissa to have her seen by our favorite eye specialist, Dr. Easton, of Veterinary Vision of Rochester. Please say prayers and send positive energy — there are far too many cats and dogs who need us. Here is the report from Nicole who took sweet Helena to the vet today. ~ diana
“Helena seen a vet today. She is from the Taylor junk yard. She is in pretty bad shape. Please contact 4 Paws 1 Heart to donate to her medical needs. She has a long road ahead of her and could use some support. She is young, very tiny, has a horrible URI, and eye infections. Her right eye is gone, all that is left is dying tissue that will have to be surgically removed. Waiting on her bloodwork to come back before we go any further. She is safe and comfortable tonight. ” ~ Nicole
Christmas Carole Found Abandoned Under a Trailer
We want to thank our friends at a Michigan Cat Rescue for rescuing this sweetheart, Christmas Carole and 4 Paws 1 Heart is happy to be able to help with medical dollars for her.
Christmas Carole, who was found weighing under three pounds is the kitty they rescued from outdoors. She was living under an abandoned trailer. She had a claw grown into her foot that had to be removed…the vet also thinks she is probably deaf. She suffered from a terrible ear infection that was not treated. She was most likely abandoned. Prayers for this sweet kitty…no animal should have to live outdoors without love ~ MCR

Stevie Had a Fantastic Week
1/13/14 STEVIE HAD A FANTASTIC WEEK: Stevie, our little guy who had his eye enucleated due to a horrendous infection, recently visited Veterinary Vision of Rochester to have his remaining eye and vision evaluated. We are happy to announce that although his vision is limited, the vision he does have should remain the same and not deteriorate. He has also found a forever home where he has two older kitty brothers. His new owner reports he is adjusting well and still purrs non-stop.
Stevie was helped with the the funds created by the 4 Paws 1 Heart/Cats Vet partnership. We are so thankful to Jessica, Licensed Veterinary Technician at the Cats Vet, who took Stevie on her own time to the specialist. We are very thankful to Veterinary Vision for their willingness to work with us and trust us. They took care of our Snickers and our Keller and Dr. Easton and the staff our wonderful to work with. I also want to thank the good people who adopted our Stevie who will now have a loving family to care for him. And, as always, I want to thank our generous supporters who continue to donate so that we can make a difference in the lives of the abandoned and abused. ~ diana
