Nicko – Found, Heart Worm Positive, by a Caring Tow Truck Driver
8/16/17 – A caring tow-truck driver found Nicko roaming the street. Because the Michigan Humane Society was closed that day, he took her home. It didn’t take long for the family to get attached to her. Attempts were made to find an owner without success. The family decided to make Nicko their new family member and brought her to the vet to be spayed/vaccinated/tested. unfortunately, Nicko was found to be heart worm positive. The rescuer asked for our help so that they could give Nicko a happy, loving home. Nicko started her heart worm treatment on August 3 with one of our favorite veterinaries — Five Mile Animal Hospital. Another life saved. ~ diana
Jade – Found and Rescued from a Cat Community
8/20/17 – Could this sweetie have better looking markings? I am so thankful that we have been able to make a difference in so many lives. Please share and help find Jade her forever family. – diana
“Jade has been our most challenging foster yet! But don’t let that deter you. While she was very illusive and scared, she’s never been aggressive. As you can see she’s getting MUCH better. She’s shy and VERY quiet. Jade is a cat who’d be good for older cats, as she’s not very hyper or active. She likes to play, but she doesn’t get overzealous. For the first two weeks we had her, we didn’t really see her. Then one day she decided she’d be OK with us seeing her. Then she became OK with us walking close. Now, she’s just fine with us showing her some love. I think Jade will only continue to progress. Thanks to Diana Rascano and 4Paws 1Heart, she’s fully vetted and ready to go. Thank you Charlotte Yakima for trapping this illusive cat (took Charlotte several tries to catch this clever girl) and giving her a chance. If you’re interested in Jade please reach out. 248-404-8482 Help us in finding her a furever home, PLEASE SHARE! – Heather”
Leo – Found and Rescued in a Cat Community
8/20/17 – Another life saved but still looking for his forever home. A huge thanks to Heather for taking in these sweeties and finding them families. – diana
“What a remarkable transformation. Leo can’t to us scared. He would hide and cower when we’d try to pet him. He has never aggressive, just very fearful. Now, he’s a bundle of love. He’s still learning how to be a snuggle bunny, but he’s learning. For now he’s content purring and weaving himself in between your feet/legs. He loves to be held, but hasn’t found the courage to jump up in your lap… Yet! Leo is sweet natured and gets along with everyone, people, dogs and cats alike. He’s fully vetted and ready to go, thanks to Diana Rascano and 4Paws 1Heart. If you’re interested in giving Leo a chance, please reach out. 248-404-8482 Ask me about our very effective weekend program. Thank you to Charlotte Yakima for trapping this guy and giving him a chance. As always PLEASE SHARE and together let’s find this boy a home! – Heather”
Mom & Kittens – Found With Upper Respiratory Infections and Flea Infested
8/20/17 – It’s All About Making a Difference ~ diana
“At the vet with these fur balls. Born outside to a feral mom. Mom has been spayed and vaccinated, flea treated and dewormed. Kittens appear to have upper respiratory infection and will be getting meds today, including flea prevention and dewormer. This shows how collaboration saves lives!! No more unwanted litters, no more sick babies struggling to survive on the streets. A huge THANK YOU to all involved. It truly does take a village. Without the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart Brooke Alexandra Melanie Strasser Snow and Alisha Shann these babies would still be lingering outside untreated. Everyone has something they can do to contribute. Everyone can DO something!! Please help however you can! Together we can make miracles happen!! Adopt, foster, volunteer, educate, transport, donate!! It only takes a small act of kindness to change the circumstances of so many! On to the good life little ones! So glad to be a part of such a strong village of the most caring and compassionate individuals. Make a difference in the life of an animal in need today! Every little bit makes a huge difference!! Much love to those who work tirelessly each and every day to make a difference. Amber”

Mikey and Zorro – Rescued in a Cat Community
8/19/17 – Happy New Beginnings
“On to MORE good news, Mikey and Zorro aka Charlie and Frankie are with their new Mom Heather Ann! These boys definitely know who their mom is and purred like crazy the moment we brought them back to their home! Couldn’t be happier for you three. Thank you to Charlotte Yakima for trapping these guys and for giving them a chance. I was worried about Zorro for a moment, because he was scared and lashing out when we got him. Now he’s the biggest lover ever. Love is all they need and they’ll thrive. Here’s proof! Thank you to Diana Rascano and 4Paws 1Heart for covering their medical bills. Once again thank you to anyone who shares my posts. Your selflessness is not unnoticed. It takes a village and if you look at these happy boys and happy lady, you’ll see why! Thank you! Heather, thank you for choosing to adopt. Heather“
Bones – Very Ill and Rescued by a Homeless Person
8/18/17 – Please pray for Bones. He was rescued by a homeless person last Saturday morning at around 1 am. Erica called me later in the morning and Bones was taken to the emergency hospital. He was treated there and then Erica took him home to nurse him. She has done a phenomenal job but the upper respiratory infection was just too severe to save his eye. I can’t praise enough, people like Erica, who drop everything for these poor sick animals. May God bless them all.- diana
“Bones update.. eye is coming out, we’ve done all we could to save it, he’ll be feeling much better without it & I have a feeling it won’t be slowing him down one bit! He’s eating great & has an increasing appitie not doing fluids on his own quite yet but aside from that eye he’s doing good! Please please please consider making a donation to 4paws1heart who is paying for his medical – Erica”
