6/1//22 – Happy Update!! It was 3 years ago when Gus (aka Blaz), found his way into the yard of a wonderful woman in Detroit, Alanda. Animals seem to have a way of finding that one special person who will help them without question and on a few other occasions Alanda has contacted us for medical assistance. When Gus showed up we were contacted and immediately made arrangements for Gus to be seen by a vet. Unfortunately, he tested positive for heart worm and so the painful treatment began. We were so very happy when Gus completed his treatment with flying colors and was adopted by a friend who lives in the northern part of MI. Today Gus is living the life and actually has recently made a female rescue ‘his bride’. Continued thanks to Alanda and our friends Albert and Pauline for making a difference in this one orphan’s life. – diana.

6/1/22 – GEORGE – FOUND IN A YARD; EYES SHUT AND VERY MALNOURISHED
6/1/22 – This is George. He turned up in my dad’s neighbor’s yard. He had a severe upper respiratory infection. I was contacted by my dad and after speaking with the neighbor and Gina, George was taken to Gina at Moore Veterinary a week ago; his eyes were sealed shut. Gina actually thought his eyes were both ruptured because when she applied a warm compress and slight pressure to clean them, a yellow discharge came oozing out. He hadn’t eaten, he was very weak, crying constantly, sneezing, and very underweight. His rescuer and my dad’s great neighbor, Jenn, followed all medication directions and took care of him around the clock. Yesterday, one week later, Gina visited him for a quick few minutes and he looked amazing! He is also adorable! We have covered his medical care, and the rescuer might have a potential home lined up. If not, he’ll be available for adoption at Moore Veterinary Hospital. Here is a couple of before photos and now that he is doing so much better. George is about 9 weeks old.
A huge thank you to Jenn, dad’s neighbor, and Gina for being the Animal Angel that she is. – diana.
6/1/22 – MILLIE – FOUND AT A CIDER MILL; INFESTED WITH FLEAS AND MALNOURISHED
6/1/22 – Meet Millie. She was found by Yates Cider Mill in Oakland County, MI. She was infested with fleas and very malnourished. She probably wouldn’t have survived much longer had her rescuer, Lea, not taken her in. 4 paws 1 heart has covered her check up, lab work, medications, and she has made incredible improvement especially with the help of Julie and Tracey. They have opened their hearts and homes to taking care of her emotionally and medically.
Millie is now stronger, very lovable, and playful. She is about 8 weeks old and up for adoption at Moore Vet Hospital. If you are the one to give her a forever home and would like an application please email me at [email protected].

5/27/22 – MILO UPDATE
This is what it’s all about..♡ A letter I received yesterday..
Gina,
I just wanted to say thank you to you, the staff and to 4 Paws 1 Heart foundation for taking care of Milo and covering his vet bills. It is greatly appreciated.
By posting Milo on the 4 Paws 1 Heart web-sight Milo is now in a forever home. As hard as it was to give him up I know he will be well taken care of by his new adopted family.
They sent me a text message letting me know how things where going. Their cat Ollie has welcomed Milo into his home. They are getting to know each other. There was been no fighting or hissing going on, which is a good. We were able to let Milo out of his cage when we were there. He walked the place, used the scratching post, played with toys and went looking for food and water.
She invited us to come and see how Milo is doing. She saw how hard it was for me and especially my youngest son Scott having to leave Milo at his new family. Scott kept saying I don’t know if I’m comfortable letting Milo stay here but he finally said ok. What made it even hard was when we left Milo was at the screen door watching us leave without him. Which brought tears to our eyes.
We all miss him here.
Thank you
Laura

CHIP – FOUND WITH SEVERE DIARRHEA
5/26/22 – Chip was trapped, neutered, and released at a mobile home park where we have been helping when needed with medical bills. Chip is a friendly guy who was probably left behind like so many are and after he was taken to a low-cost clinic for neutering, the doctor suggested he be taken to a full service clinic for treatment for severe diarrhea. That’s when we were called in. Chip was seen at one of our favorite places, Comfort’s Place, in Redford, MI and Chip was found to have severe infections. He is now under treatment and we are confident that he will soon be on the road to recovery. When he is fully recovered he will be transferred to the rescue WAG. Without you, we would never be able to be there for the fur orphans. – diana.
SUNNY AND MARLA – FOUND POSITIVE FOR HEART WORM
5/25/22 – Once again we are so very thankful that we can help Streethearts Animal Rescue who work tirelessly to rescue the many dogs roaming the streets of some very dangerous cities. This is Sunny and Marla. They were both found on the streets and were unclaimed. Probably because their owners had no further use from them or because they were found positive for heart worm which is very expensive to treat. So many of the rescues today are dealing with serious and expensive medical issues with the cats and dogs they save, and because of the generosity of our supporters, we are able to help.
Sunny and Marla started their first 30 days of medication which will then lead to the injections. 4 Paws 1 Heart has covered that and will cover everything until the heart worm is gone and we will also cover spay/neuter/vaccines as needed. A huge thank you, as always, to our many rescuers and our many supporters. – diana.
OLIVER – UPDATE
Oliver is another sweet boy whose medical was totally covered by 4 Paws 1 Heart. You might remember that he was found with a rubber band wrapped around his testicles in an effort to neuter him. He also had other medical needs. I love to get the happy updates — now, just to find a furever home.- diana
“Oliver AKA Mr. Rubber Band Man is healthy and cleared for adoption!! This boy was tortured, shot and mutilated at the hands of humans, yet he is the most trusting, loving cat there is!! He is a large boy with a large personality! He has a bit of a wobble in his back end from being shot. One of the bullet fragments is in his spinal cord, but will not do anymore damage than it already has. Oliver gets along great with other cats, dogs, and children. He would make a wonderful Family pet!!- Chalsey”
HAZEL – REST IN PEACE
5/20/22 – Hazel was a member of a cat community. He was a feral FIV positive cat; 3 years young. He was going to the vet for what we thought would be a tail amputation because he had a tail injury and was no longer moving his tail but it turned out that he had a very severe urinary blockage and he was suffering. The doctor believed that surgery would be risky based on his condition and the odds weren’t good for him as he would have to return to the wild. His rescuer and the doctor felt the kindest thing they could do for him was to allow him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. The very kind veterinary technician held his paw and kissed him as he crossed over. RIP Hazel – diana
