Betty I and Betty II – One Found Very Ill; the Other Took a Ride in a Car Engine

11/26/17 – These kittens were found by two different rescuers at two different times but both were named Betty. The first Betty was found on the street with a severe upper respiratory infection. With medical dollars from 4 Paws 1 Heart, Betty was treated and look at how great she looks today. The second Betty took a ride in a car engine and was, fortunately, not injured. Again, 4 Paws 1 Heart made sure that Betty II was healthy and would be able to find her forever home. As our Thanksgiving Week comes to an end, I want to again thank our generous donors and our caring rescuers. ~ dianabetty I 11:26:17betty II 11:26:17

Romeo – His Owner Was Found Dead and He Was Not Rescued for Ten Days

11/25/17 – Our handsome Romeo. A true Thanksgiving story. – diana

“Good morning Team, Happy Saturday!!!!
We want to wish our super awesome friend Romeo a very Happy Second Adoptiversary!!!
Sorry we’re a few days late Romeo For those that may not have been following us 2yrs ago. Romeo’s elderly mom passed away and nobody knew about poor Romeo for weeks later when the apt manager called Auntie Di to say there was a cat in the wall of an empty apt. Mom & Auntie Debra went over and it took them 2 days to cut Romeo out of the hole behind the kitchen cupboards. Romeo was emaciated, dehydrated, depressed, and had given up on life. He had to be hospitalized twice and thankfully 4 Paws 1 Heart was there for him every step of the way, without 4p1h he never would have survived his ordeal. After a long convalescence at our house healing his body & his heart he was adopted by Kelly Myers Tanner & her wonderful daughter and is now a very, very happy spoiled boy. Happy Adoptiversary Romeo We love you!!!! Chance”Romeo 11:25:17

Sabrina – Pulled, Very Ill, From a Shelter

11/25/17 – This is Sabrina. She was one of two kittens pulled from a shelter. She was very sick with a 94 degrees temperature. Sabrina required hospitalization and transfusions and the doctors thought she might not make it. But, with the help of Michigan’s Wayward Whiskers Cat Rescue (formerly known as Angels for Animals of MI), and 4 Paws 1 Heart, she fought death and is now doing good. Anyone interested in Sabrina should contact Erin at: [email protected]sabrina 11:25:17

Saved by Zade Kittens – Found on the Side of a River- Critically Ill

11/20/17 – During this week of giving Thanks I would like to sincerely thank all of those who literally save the lives of animals who have been abandoned and abused. Very often they put their own lives on the line and if not their lives, their time, their money, their hearts. One such group is from Jackson, MI, Saved by Zade. I believe I reported on this very moving rescue when we were first contacted. A mom and 4 kittens, who had obviously been in someone’s home, had been found on the side of a river near a park and a fishing bridge. One kitten was covered in maggots and he eventually died, but not before the wonderful rescuers were able to bathe him and love him. He died in one of their arms. Another kitten, Helen, needed both eyes removed immediately and an amazing doctor at Snow Animal Health Care did this for free. Two other kittens needed eye removal; and we committed to helping with this surgery when the time came. They had their surgeries two weeks ago and are doing great.
As winter approaches, please say a little prayer each night for all of these animals who have either been born in the wild or who have been thrown out by their owners. And, please, do whatever you can to be a part of the solution – rescue, donate, foster, adopt. Thanks, diana
