Miracle – A Newborn Needing to be Cut from a Fence

Posted on by

8/6/19 – Meet Miracle. Here is the message I received July 28.

“I had to cut a newborn kitten free after it had gotten stuck and lost circulation to its arm for a long period of time. It’s arm is now swollen 3+ times it’s normal size and completely red and bloody looking as if it is about to burst. I have no money for emergency care and need advice about doing what I can for this little girl or considering euthanasia and who to go through.”

We immediately responded and had Miracle see a vet. At this time she is holding her own and is scheduled to see the vet again in about a week. There are so many innocent animals needing our help. Thank God for the rescuers, our wonderful vets, and our supporters. Say a little prayer that Miracle won’t need an amputation. Please help us raise money so that we can continue to help those in need. miracle w:lindsey humel 7:31:19 miracle w:lindsey 7:30:19

Jax – Rescued With Siblings; His Eye Appeared to Need Removal

Posted on by

8/5/19 – Jax was one of three kittens found in early July. All three had upper respiratory infections but Jax had the worst. He was taken to the emergency where he was treated with strong dosages of antibiotics and spent the day there because he was also a little emaciated. Well, the other two kittens’ eyes improved but Jax’s eye steadily got worse. He was seen and treated a couple of more times but it was eventually determined that his eye would need to be removed. Today he will be at the vet for his pre-surgery exam and he is scheduled for eye removal this Thursday. Please say a prayer for this very sweet boy. This has been our Spring and Summer. So many innocent animals losing limbs and eyes do to infections and injuries, PLEASE, PLEASE, support us by donating today.

Rosey – Rescued with Heart Worm

Posted on by

8/4/19 – Dear Friends, We have had a lot going on this past Summer and Spring. We’ve had more serious cases than I’ve seen in the 8 years we’ve been in existence. But for every animal we are too late to help, there are hundreds more living in their furever homes, happy and healthy because of your generosity and support. And, even more importantly, no longer reproducing. Today I just got word about Rosey. Rosey had been in foster care for awhile and was receiving year-round preventative. But, somehow, she contracted heart worm. In early June we were able to get her into treatment, and today I was notified that Rosie is heart worm free!!!! Rosey is up for adoption but will need a home without other animals. She is 7 years old and 70 lbs. She loves children and is best suited to be the only pet in the home. She loves to play fetch & swim! If you are interested in meeting Rosey, please contact Streethearts Animal Rescue.

And don’t forget to vote for 4 Paws 1 Heart and get chance to win $500 while helping us meet the critical needs of abandoned/stray/abused animals. Thanks, Dianarosey june 2019 rosey August 2019

Kansas – RIP – Found With a Severe Wound, Badly Infected

Posted on by

8/2/19 – Last weekend I got an emergency call about a cat who was taken to an emergency hospital and the hospital would not do anything without a $400 deposit. The cat, Kansas, had a severe wound which was infected. I immediately approved but unfortunately, after a couple of days in the hospital, Kansas died. The infection had just gone too far without treatment. Although, I rarely meet the animals we help, my heart breaks for everyone of these innocent beings who rely on us for life. There are so many animals and individual rescuers who need our help and without your support we couldn’t do it. Please consider donating, attending our fundraisers, and just sharing our stories. Please sharekansas 7:28:19 w:tina springer kansas 7:28:19 w:tina springer in memory of Kansas and the many others who need our help every day. Thank you, diana

Fetti (and baby) – A Very Sick, Pregnant Cat; Emaciated and Needing Eye Removal

Posted on by

7/31/19 – A little over one month ago we were contacted by a volunteer with Friends of Companion Animals in Monroe, MI. The volunteer had rescued a young cat who needed an eye removal. Fetti was underweight so surgery was put off until she could gain some weight. She was scheduled for surgery today but over the week end the rescuer discovered Fetti had milk and then, guess what, she had a baby. Fetti still needs to have her eye removed and be spayed which we will take care of but it will be a little while now. We will take care of mama and baby’s medical needs.

Please, please, please vote for us in the Free Star Financial Charity Contest. We are gaining ground but not enought. Please consider the fact that we are the only organization that not only helps shelters and rescues but we will have the every day person who finds a sick/injured animal on the street and commits to finding a furever, loving home. But we can’t do it without you. Please say a little prayer for Fetti and her baby and vote every day for us. Thanks, dianaFetti 7:30:19 Fetti 7:30:19- fetti 7:30:19 -- fetti 7:30:19---

Coco – Roaming the Streets; Mite Infested; Emaciated; With a Wound on Her Body

Posted on by

7/30/19 – Coco was found roaming the streets. Her ears were mite infested, she was very emaciated, and had a wound on her body. She was in desperate need for a bath, some love, and medical attention. After trying all avenues, no owner could be found. 4 Paws 1 Heart was happy to cover Coco’s medical and she is doing well with her rescuer. Please keep in mind that there is no other organization in our region which will assist good Samaritans who don’t want to turn their back on an animal in need. Far too many times, people will just dump their pet for a variety of reasons. These “independent” rescuers have the love but they most often don’t have the finances for the unexpected cost. Please continue to make a difference by donating to 4paws1heart.org/donations/coco 7:30:19 coco =7:30:19 coco 7:30:19--

Shy – She Was Tied to a Tree; Being Fed Scraps; She Had a Large Growth on Her Body

Posted on by

7/29/19 – Shy is a 9-10 year old female who was taken from a family who kept her tied to a tree, feeding her scraps, and never giving her any human interaction. She had a large growth hanging from her body when she was rescued. She is a very friendly, lack lab-boxer mix who would love to be loved and cared for. We were happy to help Erin’s Angels Rescue in paying for the growth to be removed and for her to be spayed. ~ dianashy 7:29:19
