1/30/18 – HAPPY UPDATE: It was July, 2014 when this momma and her baby, Chloe, were rescued from a filthy, junk-filled garage. The garage was filled to the rafters and provided the cats easy access to the roof. They were so infested with fleas, they were anemic. But with the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart and their loving rescuer, Chloe and mom found their forever home. Here they are today, and how they looked in 2014 after being rescued. ~ diana

Jax – His Owners Were Murdered and He Ran Away
1/29/18 – This young boy ended up in Animal Control after he fled since the evening of January 13th. He disappeared when his home was turned into a crime scene. His owners were murdered.
His owner’s family retrieved him from Animal Control and turned him over to a friend who happens to be a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart. Understandably, he was traumatized and depressed; he was missing approximately 2 weeks.
He is emaciated (68 pounds and bones sticking out every where) and hadseveral sores all over his body. The pads of his feet were missing chunks of flesh and bloody.
With the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart he saw the vet and was neutered, tested, and treated with antibiotics. He was also heart worm tested which tested negative. His sores were all cleaned up and his ears were cleaned out. He will start a special diet to fatten him up. The rescue organization, DCDogos, will be taking Jax into their rescue. Please check out their site if you are interested. A very sad story will have a happy beginning. ~ diana

Santa – Found With a Severe Upper Respiratory Infection in Below Freezing Weather
1/27/18 – Happy Update! At about 12 weeks old, sweet emaciated Santa was found before Christmas with a severe upper respiratory infection and low body temperature. Thankfully, our great friends at Hartrick Veterinary were able to take her in as soon as she was trapped and started treatment. Then, last week, the rescuer noticed that Santa seemed to be losing some fur and it was determined she had a fungus. Again, we were happy to get Santa treated. Now look at how well ls doing. Love and medical care means everything. ~ diana

It’s all about giving animals like Annie a fighting chance of survival. 4 Paws 1 heart will take care of her medical needs from now until she is ready to be placed into a home.. She has a long way to go, but I am very hopeful that she will do well. ♡ Gina ♡
Lucy Lu – Rescued Before Being Taken to a High-Kill Shelter by Her Owners
1/26/18 – Lucy Lu was an intact female whose owners also owned an intact male. After Lucy had kittens, the owners didn’t want her any more and were going to take her to a shelter. Fortunately, Cortney heard of the situation and had the owner surrender Lucy to her and then she contacted 4 Paws 1 Heart. Poor little Lucy was emaciated and flea infested. Once again we were thrilled to save another life; Lucy was spayed, vaccinated, and treated for fleas. She had another visit with the vet just this past week to get further treatment but the doctor said she is doing great. Anyone interested in sweet Lucy should contact Cortney at: [email protected] ~ diana
Cee Cee – Abandoned by her Owners; Found Pregnant in the Brutal Cold
1/25/18 – CeeCee was abandoned by her owners about a year ago. A neighbor has been feeding her since but recently noticed she looked pregnant. The kind person couldn’t stand the thought of a 9 lb. baby having kittens in these below- freezing temperatures and contacted our friend, Rachel G. Rachel G. contacted me to see if we could assist. Of course we did. CeeCee was able to get into the vet yesterday and was found to be about two weeks away from having 4 kittens!! Can you imagine if these little babies would have been born in this cold? Chances are that everyone would have died. CeeCee is now in a foster home — safe and warm. She will be under Ferndale Cat Shelter who will eventually find everyone their forever homes. God Bless the rescuers. ~ diana
