6/25/14 –
This 1/2 pound baby was found on the street and brought in to the emergency veterinary by a Good Samaritan. I rushed him back to the ICU area and just as I did, his little heart stopped beating. His temperature and blood sugar wouldn’t register and he was critical. We began emergency medications and life saving measures to stabilize him. He began breathing almost immediately and his heart began beating. We brought his vitals back to normal and he is now doing great (today is day 3)! 4 Paws 1 Heart will cover all medical care ~ Gina

The House of Horrors
6/23/14 – Good Morning Friends – It is with a heavy heart that I add this requested donations link https://4paws1heart.org/donations/. Melanie, our angel from A Hopeful Heart, sent me photos of what she, Mutts of Motown, and a few others experienced in the house of death yesterday. Mel spared our friends by only showing you these
dear, sick kittens who were ‘lucky’ enough to survive. It is estimated that there could have been over 100 dead bodies throughout the house in various stages of death. There will be follow-up with the Michigan Humane Society today. A Hopeful Heart is in serious NEED of qualified foster homes. If you can help you can e-mail ([email protected])me with your contact information and I will get it to Melanie. This was the home of a rescue who is still adopting out animals in a pet supply store. I will update all of you when I can but I do not want to jeopardize any investigation by giving information I shouldn’t. One last point before I break to say a prayer for all of these poor animals who depend on us as ‘humans’ — when a dog hoarder or a puppy mill breeder is raided, hundreds of volunteers come out to help — dozens of rescues work to take on the abused animals BUT when a similar raid occurs where cats have been so abused and cruelly neglected, you see very little outcry or offers of help. I hope that our friends are different and do everything they can to share this story as it progresses. Please help anyway you can. A Hopeful Heart has been a wonderful friend to us and 4 Paws 1 Heart is committed to helping as much as possible with the medical bills. ~ diana
One Week Old and Alone on the Streets
UPDATE: We’ve had a few offers to help with bottle feeding and fostering. If you are able to foster, there are an over abundance of kittens and cats who can use your help. Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you would like us to keep your name and contact number on file. Thank YOU. ~ diana
SELENA – Under 1 Pound and Lost in a Storm
6/19/14 – Not only do we commend the young men who saved this innocent, we want to commend the parents who raised two young men to be caring and loving humans. Gina’s report:
“This baby weighing just under 1# was found wandering all alone after the terrible storm today. She is about 6 weeks old and it was a blessing that two young men were kind enough to pick her up and seek help for her. We are calling her Selena. She is covered in flea dirt, eyes crusted shut from infection, sneezing, congested, dehydrated, and weak. 4paws 1heart stepped in to help and we are happy to be able to give this beautiful baby a second chance. Hats off to the young men that did not just ignore this helpless soul!!!!!” – gina
6/20/14 – I could NOT resist posting this picture of “Selena”. She is so adorable! Tonight she got a warm bath, no more fleas, and here she is on her heating pad and her stuffed teddy from Harper Woods Vet Staff:) She is so precious!!! Please share so we can find her the PERFECT home! Email me at [email protected] if you are that forever family! Thank you!! Gina
Thank You, Comcast, For Being a Good Community Partner
Thanks to our many friends and supporters, we continuously get suggestions as to various ways 4 Paws 1 Heart can earn money to assist the abandoned and abused. This program was just brought to our attention and I think we could make a real difference. PLEASE SHARE, and if you have some business friends let them know that not only might they may be able to save money and get better cable and telephone services, but they’ll also be able to help give the abandoned a second chance in life. Thanks, diana

Gina’s Robin Is Ready To Fly
6/19/14 – Gina’s Robin says “What You Talkin’ About Throwback Thursday???” Birdie With An Attitude ~ diana
6/18/14 – And this is where your money goes!! Our little Gilligan — He was stolen from his owner and then one year later was rescued after being thrown from a car. Although his owner was found, she chose not to take him because she couldn’t afford the eye treatment he would need the rest of his life–she made the ultimate sacrifice for his well being. He has since been in a loving home with two fur buddies and has just thrived. C
an you believe it is the same little guy?? ~ diana
Mr. Bittens Will Never Be A Daddy Again!!
6/18/14 Happiness continues. Your dollars make a difference (not to mention your hearts!!) A message from Mr. Bittens’ rescuer and now, his dad. Thank You, diana
“A very big thank you to 4paws1heart. Mr. Bittens is doing great. He was just neutered on Tuesday and was home by the end of the day. Patterson veterinary clinic is an awesome place to take your pets. They are very kind to the humans too. This is a grumpy kitty pic of him shortly after we brought him home:-)”

“Dewey says hi from his new room, a little anxious about his move to his parents first home but the sweetest eyes anyone has seen. Reminiscent of bringing him home when we first got him from Gina DeLuca in November. We are thankful for 4 paws 1 heart every time we see that sweet face”
How Can Any Caring Person Walk Away From Their Loyal Pet — It Happens Every Day
6/18/14 – We’ve had lots of happy stories lately so let’s work together to create one more and let’s find this sweetheart a home. Buddy is a 2 year-old female with kittens who were all left behind when the owners moved. (yes, I know, who in the heck does this??). In any case, the rescuer has kept her in a garage but now needs to find a home (foster would be OK) by Saturday because she is having visitors. Buddy had 5 kittens, two died but homes were found for the other three. PLEASE, let’s get her into a home, even if it’s temporary. Contact [email protected] ~ diana p.s. 4p1h will pay for spaying and any other vaccinations needed.
