6/5/16 – You may remember our posting about a house which was fire bombed in Detroit, Approximately 50 cats and a couple of dogs, who were kept in the home, perished. Seven cats and a dog were rescued by caring Detroit Firefighters. One cat remains with our friend, Denise Najera, and these six are at the petco store in Roseville (Masonic and Gratiot). An additional 25+ cats were found in another home owned by the same person who owned the firebombed house. The medical bills for all of these sweeties were paid by 4 Paws 1 Heart and they are now available for adoption through A Hopeful Heart. Please share and let’s try and get these poor babies, who have been through so much, a forever loving home. ~ diana

Layla and Holly – Everyone in the Foster Home Picks On Them
6/3/16 – Meet Layla and Holly. They are 6 months old and in desperate need of a foster, rescue, or forever home. They’re shy at first, but friendly. Unfortunately, there is a mama cat in the rescuer’s home who spends her days trying to chase them down and antagonize them, when she’s not feeding her babies. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for all of their medical care, including spaying. They’ve been hiding out from big mama and that’s no life. Of all the fosters cats in the home, mama only targets these two. If anyone can just foster in order to get them out of this situation, Heather will continue to search for a forever home. Please share and if you can help, email Heather at [email protected] ~ diana

Our Superhero, Chance, Once Again Needs Your Prayers
5/31/16 – Continued prayers for our superhero, Chance. Thankfully, Gina DeLuca will be coordinating his medical treatment. ~ diana
“Hello Team, so mom talked to Dr. Nurse and this is what he says about my tests:
There was nothing in my bloodwork that looks like cancer. No cancerous cells were found in my Needle Aspiration sample that was sent out. BUT Dr. Nurse wanted to emphasize that these things do not always show up in the Needle Aspiration and there is still the possibility of Mast Cell Tumor or Lymphoma. However its a good sign that nothing showed up in either test. However we need to know why my lymphnodes are swollen. It’s possible I have Lymphoid Hyperplasia. That is an increase in normal cells in the lymphnodes when there is infection, bacteria or germs present and the body is reacting to it. Sooo, here is the present plan.
I will be started on antibiotics for any infection that may be present and steroids to try and shrink the lymphnodes. If this does not work, then Dr. Nurse says the next step would be a biopsy of the lymphnode. But we are going to try treating the symptoms for infection first and see if that works. Also all my test results will be sent to Dr. Kern to look at as well for her opinion and suggestions. So that’s what we know right now, I will start my meds first of next week and see if they help. Thankyou for all your prayers, please keep em coming! Thankyou 4 Paws 1 Heart, Auntie Gina & Auntie Debra for always having my back ❤ Sooo mom, lets have some chicken and a nap now! 😉 Meow for now! Love Chance ❤”
4 Paws 1 Heart Joins the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade
5/30/16 – A huge thanks to our board member, Dee Gudenau, and her husband and Vice Chairperson of the St. Clair Shores Animal Care and Welfare committee, Rick Gudenau, for building the float and coordinating the participation in the St. Clair Shores Memorial Parade. I was inspired by the amount of applause we got and the number of people who knew of us and we’re thankful because they knew someone we helped. There’s nothing like getting involved with a great community like St, Clair Shores. Also a big shout out to the Macomb County Animal Control for being there and supporting such a great event! 
Don Gato – Found With an Infected Mouth and a Tumor
5/3016 – While we all remember the the many men, women, and dogs who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom, I would like to ask our friends for a little prayer for this guy. He was found with a large tumor/cyst on his face and a horrendous mouth infection. We were contacted by his rescuer and had him taken to the great staff of Rescue Veterinary Services. Don Gato, a very sweet feline, required the removal of 6 teeth and a sample was taken of the large tumor/cyst on his face. The results from the sample will not be available for about 5 days. We are praying that the tumor is non-malignant and can be removed; although, it may disfigure his face. This little guy is no longer in pain and we are committed to doing what is best for him. His rescuer, Beth, will be keeping him much loved and cared for. Without your donations, we could not make miracles happen. ~ diana
Aura – Happy and Healing After Her Eye Surgery
5/29/16 – We’ve told you about Aura in the past (see our website4paws1heart.org and search ‘aura’). She was rescued by Bully’s Angels and required eye surgery. We learned of Aura’s need and offered to take Aura under our wing and pay for the surgery. The other day Aura had her two-week post surgery visit to the great doctors of Veterinary Vision and everything is looking great. Here she is happy and playful now that the ‘cone of shame’ has been removed. Anyone interested in this beauty, should contact Bully’s Angels. ~ diana
