4/5/18 – The history is sketchy. What we do know is that at one time Lucy was adopted from a rescue who has a ‘no-declaw’ agreement. After some unknown period, the adopters wanted to return the cat because she was not always using the litter box. The rescue refused to take her back because the adopter had altered (declawed) the cat against the agreement AND the adopter didn’t want her either. Thankfully, a rescue we work with took Lucy in before she was taken to a ‘kill-shelter’. Poor Lucy is now acting very feral and hissing although we have to believe she was not this way when she was first adopted out. It’s difficult to know what Lucy has been through in that none of the stories seem to add up but the bottom line is she is now with a rescuer who will try to help her. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for her to be tested, vaccinated, and examined. We are praying that with proper socializing and care, Lucy’s behavior changes in that she could never be let outside without having claws. ~ diana

Kate – Was a ‘He’ in a Feral Community; He Showed Up Very Injured and Sick
4/4/18 – RIP Sweet Kate. Kate is actually a boy who was being cared for over a seven year period. Although Kate was very feral, he wasn’t an aggressor but unfortunately showed up with many scrapes over the years. He recently showed up with very swollen jowls and was not eating and drinking as normal. He had dried green pus all over his body from what appeared to be a ruptured abscess on his body. For seven years, Kate remained elusive to being trapped but finally, this week end, he could hardly stand and fell down three times trying to get into the shelter that was put out for him. His caretaker was able to get him and Kate was taken to the vet. Kate was in very, very bad shape. He tested positive for FIV and FeLV. Every tooth in his mouth was rotten and his body was very scarred. It was recommended by the doctor that Kate be humanely euthanized and his caretaker agreed. We truly wish we could save every animal who comes our way. But, if we can’t save them, we can at least end their suffering and give them love in the end. ~ diana
Cuz and Angel – They Were Chained Dogs; Angel’s Ear is Infected and Cuz has Heart Worm
4/3/18 – Cuz and Angel had been ‘chained’ dogs. Our friend Megan of Friends of Scooby, contacted us to ask if we could pay for vetting (spay/neuter, vaccines, heart worm test) both dogs, one of whom — Angel — seemed to have an ear issue. We were happy to help but we were sad to learn that Cuz has heart worm and Angel has an ear infection. Angel and Cuz have both been spayed/neutered. Angel is being treated for the ear infection and Cuz has started his 30-day pre-heart worm treatment. We are praying that Cuz’s heart worm is not severe but we will follow through to his recovery. ~ diana
Ellie – Rescued Before Being Euthanized; Has Her Leg Amputated
4/2/18 – OOPS – GIina steered me wrong. Ellie’s surgery is actually tomorrow, 4/3/18.
4/2/18 – Please say a prayer for Ellie. We rescued her before she was euthanized. Her leg had multiple fractures requiring that it be amputated. She is having her surgery today and although she is in a great foster home, she does not a forever home or a rescue group to make her their own to find a forever home. We have had many serious cases in March — three cases where the back legs became paralyzed after being rescued with deep wounds on the back, two cases of heart worm, one case of parvo virus, and a case where all of the teeth needed to be extracted AND, these are just the expensive cases. Every animal we assist with basic vetting costs $100 to $200 and there have been many of those.
If you can donate, please use the ‘donate’ link on the left side of this page or send a check by mail to P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080. These animals would not have a second chance at life without you. ~ diana
Ruby and Bunny – After Losing 4 Siblings, Visited the Vet
4/3/18 – Our Feline Mascot and Superhero, Chance, updated us on Ruby and Bunny’s visit:
“Helloooo Team! So Ruby & Bunny are home, fed and sweetly sleeping. Both girls hearts & lungs sound good. They are both hydrated, neither appears to have any fluid in their tummys or around their lungs. Neither of the girls have any signs of upper respiratory infection. Ruby had a bit of diarrhea this morning, but has since cleared up. Bunny has not pood yet today, but we’re not worried about that for another day or so. Bunny is in better body condition and is stronger then Ruby. They are too tiny for bloodwork or a fecal. Those are the things we do know. Dr. Wilson told mom not to change anything shes doing, she doing everything right. That made mom feel better, but what didn’t make mom feel better is that she had to take the babies out of our bedroom. Since we don’t know for sure what the other babies died from and we don’t know for sure that Ruby & Bunny don’t have anything, we cant take any chances with the Gang. It hurts moms heart to have them in the next room, and not in our room where she can hear every sound. Moms thinking she may need a baby monitor. Anyway, Dr. Wilson told mom everything to watch for and if we need her to just call her, she thinks our girls may need a little extra help. We just have to wait, watch & pray 
🙏Thankyou to 4 Paws 1 Heart for being there for our baby girls today. If you would like to donate to help with Ruby & Bunnys vet needs please go to4paws1heart.org/donations/
Thankyou!
Oops! 2 more things, 1. The umbilical cords fell off today! 2.
Per Dr. Wilson the girls will not be going back to mama even if she is caught because we don’t know if she has something that could be passed through her milk or saliva that may have been passed to our sweet babies that died.

Angel – RIP Sweet Baby
3/31/18 – “We don’t know why God brings these babies to us and then sometimes he decides he needs one back with him. But what we do know is that we were blessed to have 3 days to love this little girl till she took her last breath cuddled up on moms chest. Thankyou everybody for loving her with us. Special thankyou to Auntie Dee & Aunt Shelly We love you sweet girl, we’ll see you at the Bridge 
💞- Denise”
Max – RIP Sweet Kitten
4/2/18 – Unfortunately, another of the babies, found at just one-day old, 
died this morning. Please promote spay/neuter. All About Animals Rescue has free spay/neuter for feral cats during the entire month of April. Please take advantage so that we can stop the overwhelming reproduction of unwanted cats. ~ diana
Mama – She Had a Large Open Wound and Now She is Paralyzed
4/2/18 – Mama appeared at a caring person’s home with a large open wound on her back. The homeowner took in Mama and cared for her wound which eventually healed after two weeks. Unfortunately, the rescuer could not afford to have Mama seen by a vet and she wasn’t aware of 4 Paws 1 Heart. Although the wound has healed, Mama can no longer use her back legs. Mama was seen on Friday and after blood work and x rays were completed, nothing definitive could be found to determine why she can no longer walk. Although she doesn’t appear to have an infection, she was given antibiotics. The initial infection caused by her wound may have affected her spine. I have been in contact with Dr. Kern of Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets and Mama will be seeing her in the next few weeks. Please say a prayer for this very sweet kitty who is estimated to be about 5-6 years old. ~ diana
