Lacy – Left on the Streets Suffering from Heart Worm

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Diana

8/1/16 – Happy August 1. Actually, I’m not too happy because it just means we are getting closer to the end of summer. Although, it is Monday and our last month of true summer, I wanted to start your day with a happy update. You might remember Lacy. It was this past April when Lacy and her new born puppies were found in a vacant rental unit. Thankfully, the agent of the management company talked with her co-workers and mama and her babies were all taken in. The puppies all found their way into a forever homes, but mama Lacy was found to be heart worm positive. That is when we received a call for help. We agreed to pay for Lacy’s heart worm treatment and today I am happy to report that Lacy is heart worm free and doing well. The only problem is that she needs a forever home. She is currently living at the Management’s headquarters and although she gets lots of attention during the day, she is without human companionship at night and on weekends. Her foster mom says she is a great girl and would love to be a part of someone’s family. If you are interested in sweet Lacy, please contact Debby at [email protected] Thank you for helping us make miracles happen. ~ diana

Sasha, Katana, Laila, and Holly – Looking for their Forever Homes

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Diana

7/31/16 – I just want to apologize for being behind in thank you letters and updates on the animals we have been helping. Many of our friends answered our plea for donations and 125 friends attended our fundraiser at the Jefferson Yacht Club. It was a great night of music and friendship. I was so happy to be there for a couple of hours and get to say hello to many of our friends. Truly, all of these innocents wouldn’t be alive without your support.

I wanted to share Heather’s posting for two reasons — one, to assist in helping finding permanent homes for these four babies; and two, to help you visualize how your donations make a difference. As Heather says, she most recently started with 12 very young kittens who if left behind, would have maybe lived and then gone on to have more kittens. Thus adding to the continued overpopulation of cats. But, instead, because of the wonderful people who rescue, foster, and donate, 8 kittens were medically treated, spayed and neutered, and found their way into permanent loving homes. Please share these babies who are still looking and let’s make it 12 for 12. For everyone who finds a permanent home, another spot in a foster home opens up. Thanks, diana

“These four ladies still need loving furever homes!! Right now they’re camping (yes they’re camping, but in a RV), but I’m sure they’d love (and they certainly deserve) homes of their very own!!! If you’re interested please email me at [email protected] Special thank you to 4P1H for covering their medical bills, including being spayed!!!! PLEASE SHARE – Heather”

Twix – Found on the Street with a Severe Upper Respiratory Infection

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Diana

7/30/16 – You might remember that Snickers came to us a few years back. A very caring little boy and his mom heard the weak meows for help, and found this very sick kitten almost frozen in an icy puddle in an alley in Hamtramck. After many people came together, this little boy survived and was eventually adopted into the best home ever. Today, Snickers’ mom and and dad, Dee and Rick, continue to pay it forward. Prayers that Twix will make the same miraculous recovery that our Snickers did. – diana

Frieda – Dumped on the 4th of July

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Diana

7/28/16 – Meet Freedom aka Frieda! She was dumped on the 4th of July. 4 paws 1 heart offered to help with financial care to get her checked out and up to date with everything. Turns out she is showing signs of incontinence. Our good friend Lisa took this pup into her rescue and we are paying for her continued care. She may need to see a specialist unless medicine will control the problem. Then, she will need a spay and the final vaccinations. Please say big prayers for her recovery because it will be very difficult to place a urinary incontinence pup:( If you would like to donate towards Freda we would certainly appreciate any help. Gina

Roo – Needs Heart Surgery

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Diana

7/25/16 – Meet “Roo”
This puppy is in need of heart surgery. When he was found we were contacted for the help he needed to have a consultation. An appointment was set up with a board certified Cardiologist, Dr Brown. As a result of the exam and ultrasound it was discovered that Roo does have a congenital heart defect which can be fixed with surgery. His foster parents are raising money for that surgery now. We hope that our assistance in getting him through the first step with Dr Brown will assist in giving him that second chance of life. It is because of your support that we are able to help those in need, those like Roo, get started on their new journey.. Gina

Kittens and Cats of the Summer, 2016

Posted on August 8, 2016 by Diana

7/25/16 – Over the next couple of weeks, I will be sharing the many cats and kittens we have helped over the past month. Many of these stray and abandoned babies were found in condominium complexes – usually abandoned when their owner moved; in industrial sites and woods, where, again, people will just throw away an unwanted pet,; or in mobile home parks, under mobile homes, with kittens dying from upper respirator infections. If anyone is interested in giving any of these babies a forever loving home, please check out our facebook page, Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart. This page was especially created for all of the individual rescuers we help with medical bills. Thanks again, to all of our friends who make our work possible. ~ diana
