12/26/17 – Continued prayers for the abandoned, stray, and abused forced to fend for themselves in these frigid temperatures. Gina was praying for all of the animals who are alone and prayed that she would be called on to save someone — well, God called on her to save two — a dog (Gizmo) and a frozen kitty. Here is the story of Blizzard.
“Blizzard is about 6 months old, and was found in a garage last Wednesday. He was nearly frozen to death. Chances are he became trapped inside the garage unable to access food or water. He was unresponsive and suffering from hypothermia and hypoglycemia. With aggressive care he has stabilized, but he is still very weak. There is nothing to him aside from an emaciated body. He is with me, receiving around-the-clock care consisting of keeping him warm, fed, and hydrated. Food is challenging for him because he is having a hard time swallowing plus he has a little bit of a cold. Small amounts of watered down canned food several times a day is helping. I am confident that he will be ok, but any longer in this condition and he would’ve died in the cold from starvation. Please say prayers for him to grow stronger every day. I will keep you posted. ~ Gina” ~ diana

“12/25/16 – For those of our friends who celebrate the birth of Christ, we wish you a Blessed Christmas. On this morning I would like to share two happy beginnings. The first is Sonic (now known as Dino). It was in October, 2014 that Sonic was brought into the emergency after being attacked by a dog. Due to his many injuries, Sonic spent several weeks in the hospital, being fed through a tube, almost losing an eye, and later, experiencing, more surgery for his torn mouth. There were times we thought he wouldn’t make it but with Gina’s love and care and the professional staff at the emergency, Little Sonic came through and was adopted by a family who has been close to me for over 50 years. Here he was when he was first brought into the emergency and today, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Because of our supporters, we can make miracles like this happen. ~ diana”

UPDATE: Pumpkin is holding his own but he can’t stand. The doctor is afraid of neurological damage. Please pray that isn’t the case. He will be under observation for another 24 hours. – diana
12/23/17 – Prayer Warriors Needed! This is Pumpkin. Last night I received a message from one of our followers asking if we could help this very sweet baby who was found lying in a Shelby Twp. backyard, lifeless. The person who contacted me and her mom were on their way to an emergency hospital. We, of course, said yes. When they got to the hospital, this poor baby had no temperature. The doctors immediately started providing heat and did blood work. At this time she seems to be stable but may be in the hospital for a few more days. The rescuer believes that Pumpkin was either a pet who had been dumped or a pet who had escaped – in either case, a domesticated cat cannot fend for themselves in the wild. Please also pray for the many animals who are out in the frigid temperatures, fending for themselves. Pumpkin is being placed on For the Love of Louie. Please share and if anyone knows anything or is interested, please contact Christine at: [email protected] ~ diana

12/22/17 – More of the kittens saved through the partnering. ~ diana

“PLEASE SHARE! Rosalie, Kovu, Nala, Soda, Diana and Chica are all still looking for their furever homes. If you’re looking to add to your family, look no further. These kitties are fully vetted including being fixed, thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart. Ask us about our weekend trial program. We even deliver these babies right to you. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. 248-404-8482 Thank you! – Cristen”

12/22/17 – In any given day, I can get one to six calls regarding an animal in trouble requiring medical care. In many cases it will just be the ‘usual’ — fleas, vaccines, neuter/spay, parasites, and snap test AND under the best circumstances the cost will be $100 to $150. On the other hand, as many of you have seen this past year, many of the calls I get require more immediate and serious attention and when that happens — you just never know. Here are some of the cats/kittens who we’ve helped but I just didn’t get the chance to post them before. All were rescued by individuals who either kept the kitties or committed to finding them homes. Meet Reddington, Bart, Himmy, Lucy, Penelope, Polly and kittens rescued during trap/neuter/return. Don’t forget that we don’t believe our mission ends with funding medical bills. We also try to help independent rescuers by offering our Petfinder site and our Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart Facebook Page. So if you are ever looking for that special family member, please remember to check out those sites to find your new best friend. ~ diana
