Leonidas – A Surprise Gift Gone Wrong
1/10/15 – Happy Update. In November, 2015 we received the following from a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart. We are happy to report that today, Leonitas, is in his forever home and his owner reported that “Leonitas is his best friend”. ~ diana
“I wanted to ask if you would be able to help with Leonidas. I got him yesterday from a pregnant lady who was pregnant with twins. Her fiancé brought him home as a surprise. He has horrible diarrhea, is extremely skinny. She dewormed him 3 times and gave him a lot of baths. His skin is really dry (potentially from too much bathing). He was bought at 5 weeks old from a filthy situation; said to be old English bull dog pit mix (maybe American bull dog pit mix). The female who received the “gift” is 5 months pregnant with twins and is not in a place for a puppy. He was good with kids, cats, and her other dog. But she cannot give him proper care or do proper vetting as she and her fiancé work 10-13 hour days and don’t have time. He will be adoptable as soon as he puts on weight and can be vetted.-Missy”
Trap/Neuter/Release – Providing Food and Shelter and Homes
1/9/16 – Our good friend, Charlotte, has continued her efforts to stop the over population of cats by doing trap/neuter/release at various industrial sites as well as residential complexes. When she catches a domesticated cat or a kitten, she will find someone to foster them and the foster will work to find a forever home. These are some of the many cats/kittens we have helped with neutering/spaying, vaccinating, and treating for upper respiratory infections, fleas, worms, and the list goes on. As you can see, many of them are black cats who face an increased amount of danger on the streets. If you are looking to make a difference, consider fostering for a rescue group, donating food/supplies, donating money to your local groups like 4 Paws 1 Heart or the rescue groups we work with, or volunteer your time at a shelter like the Catfe in Ferndale, Almost Home in Southfield, New Beginnings in Royal Oak, Animal Adoption Society in Madison Heights, or check out the shelters in your area. Donations to 4 Paws 1 Heart can be made through paypal on this page or on our website, 4 paws 1 heart.org, or by mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080. ~ We can all make a difference. ~ diana
Kittens – Rescued from the Cold Streets of Southeast Michigan
4 Paws 1 Heart is all about transparency so I’m ‘fessing up’ right now. I have a huge love for tuxedo kitties and all black kitties. Look at these beauties. I can’t express how gratifying it is to get so many babies off the mean, frigid streets. Thank You, Leese, for rescuing them. And, thank you to our many supporters for providing the funds to make this happen. ~ diana
“We just wanna say Thank YOU to Diana and 4 PAWS 1 Heart for
taking care of our Vet Visit yesterday…. being treated for worms and fleas….otherwise Very Healthy. 
Leese”

More Kittens Saved and In Forever Loving Homes
1/8/16 – Another Good Morning Smile for our Friends. All of these babies were rescued by Haley who contacted us hoping we could help with the medical treatment. Of course, we did. And, now, all of these sweeties have been adopted and will no longer have to worry about love and shelter! Thank You, Haley! ~ diana
Trooper – Rescued from the Streets – No Longer Emaciated and Very Healthy
1/7/16 – Your Morning Smile! This is Trooper when he was rescued and today. He was rescued by a kind man last April. He was very emaciated and took awhile to get healthy. He is finally fit enough to get neutered and live the happy life he deserves. Here he is snuggling his fur sibling. ~ diana
Arthur – Out of the Hospital and Into a Foster Home
1/7/16 –

Kittens – Saved From the Streets and Poisoning from Neighbors
1/6/16 – As winter was about to settle in, we received the following e-mail: diana
“Hello! I have a lawn care company and one of my customer’s neighbors decided she didn’t want her 2 cats anymore (about a year old) and kicked them out of the house. Another neighbor of hers has been poisoning feral kittens in the area so I decided to foster (maybe adopt) these cats. I was wondering if you offer any kind of assistance. They are very nice, friendly cats and I would like to make sure they stay healthy! – Jamie”
We were happy to get these babies out of danger. I continue to be sickened by the cruelty of alleged humans. It has been my experience over the past five years that cats see the worst of it. Thank you to every person, like Jamie, who refuses to turn their back. As long as we have the funds, we will always be there for you.
