Meet ” Batman ”
He was recently found outside as an orphan kitten. We took him in under 4 Paws 1 heart, and one of the employees at the hospital has been working closely with him the last few days. She is trying to get him to trust people because he was scared to death. He has made a ton of improvement in just a few days, and I have no doubt he will come around. Batman needs someone who will love him and teach him that humans are not going to hurt him. We don’t know if he was dumped, hurt by someone, or just scared to death. Normally, a young kitten like this is not that terrified even if they have never been held by a human. Please message me on here or email me for more information. He is about 8 weeks old. He Loves food and wants to burrow close to you to feel secure. [email protected]

Sneezy – Found With Fleas and an Upper Respiratory Infection
8/14/17 – Sneezy was rescued during a trap/neuter/return effort. He had an upper respiratory infection and fleas. He is a sweet kitten and 4 Paws 1 Heart is happy that we can be there for these animals who are born in the wild but not necessarily able to survive in it. Sneezy will also be neutered and vaccinated when healthy. Anyone interested in this little cutie should contact Brooke at: [email protected] . ~ diana
Stars and Stripes – Found in a Yard Where 4 Kittens Later Died
9/6/17 – Update: Stars and Stripes were ‘victims’ of foster failures. They have been officially adopted by their foster parents.
8/11/17 – To say this has been one heck of a summer would be an understatement! Almost 7 years of spay/neuter (and that is just our one organization) and yet the kittens continue to keep coming out of every nook and cranny. And, not only, being seen, but being very sick with upper respiratory infections and with serious injuries. These two, Star and Stripes, were two of 8 kittens found in one yard. Unfortunately, four of the kittens, who were very young, did not survive. Two of the older kittens (Jodie and Josie) are surviving beautifully with our friend Patricia B. and have had their blood tested. Now, the last (?) two have been rescued. One of the kittens may be related to Jodie and because they were found in the same yard, they had their blood tested and all was negative. Star and Stripes are doing well and are looking for a rescue organization/foster or adopters. They are shy but are safe and living with their rescuer Christine. All medical has been taken care of by 4 Paws 1 Heart. Anyone who would like to foster/adopt Star and Stripes should contact: [email protected]
Kitten Found Unable to Walk
8/13/17 – So many of us have had the worst weekends this summer. It started again yesterday with a little emaciated, infected kitten rescued about 1 in the morning. He was treated at the emergency hospital and he is holding his own with his rescuer caring for him. Unfortunately, Lucky was totally different. After blood work it was determined that Lucky’s white blood cell count was almost non-existent. Prior to that he barely moved and couldn’t stand. The doctor believes he may have eaten poison. While on the table he started seizing uncontrollably and was humanely euthanized. RIP sweet Lucky. Thank you Kelly Hook for a heart bigger than Texas. – Diana
Felix – Found With What Appeared to Be One Eye
8/13/17 – We were contacted about this “one-eyed kitty” who turned up at a family’s home. The eye was bulging and it was obvious that he needed immediate help. As I am so thankful to say, we sent the family and the kitty (now known as Felix) to Parker Veterinary. Fortunately, it was determined that the eye could be saved and now Felix is a member of a very loving family. ~ diana
“Thank you 4 Paws 1 Heart for helping this wonderful family be able to get vetting for Felix so they could adopt him. Felix did not lose his eye, is doing great and has become great buddies with Hamish, the bottle baby I transported to them in August 2015!! Thank you Karri Kerr-darling and family for being saviors to these two as well as the two girls rescued from my nieces house last year, you are wonderful!! ❤️~ Julie”
Fritz, Juno, and Turk – Found Under a Bush During a TNR Project
8/12/17 – Meet the Bush Babies. Another litter from the house our Board member, Dee, was TNRing at. They were hanging out in a bush. There is one more baby to trap… but these babies have been there a week today and are socializing beautifully. There were a couple of rough days but now they are doing great. Introducing Fritz, Juno & Turk. ( left to right) … again 4 Paws 1 Heart, once again, was there providing medical treatment for them. Get in line people they are up for adoption!! ~ diana
Coda – Rescued from the Streets; Tested Heart Worm Positive
9/4/17 Update – Unfortunately Coda died in an accident. May he rest in peace. ~ diana
8/13/17 – I know I’ve already said this, but the overwhelming need continues. This is Coda. He was rescued from the street in July. We approved having him neutered, vaccinated, and tested. Unfortunately, it turns out that he is positive for heart worm. We will pay for the heart worm treatment but it is always a dilemma as to whether a heart worm positive dog should be spayed/neutered until he/she is heart worm free. Anyone familiar with dogs understands that behavior is very different when an animal is intact and finding a foster/rescue for an intact animal can be very difficult. Coda’s rescuer decided to have Coda neutered and he is doing well. Coda will start the 30-day pre-heart worm treatment. Anyone interested in Coda should contact [email protected] . ~ diana
