OUR 12TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY! 100% OF YOUR DOINATIONS GO TO MEDICAL FUNDING – ALL ADDITIONAL COSTS ARE PAID BY OUR BOARD MEMBERS. THIS IS WILDER

8/15/22 – Please help us celebrate 12 YEARS of making a difference in the lives of over 10,000 cat, dogs, and one alleged ‘pygmy’ goat — not to mention the thousands of cats and dogs never born because every animal we touch is spayed/neutered.

On August 18, 2010 we became a 501c3 non-profit with a mission to “REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNWANTED ANIMALS BY FUNDING THE MEDICAL TREATMENT OF ABANDONED, STRAY, AND ABUSED ANIMALS’. And, $1,547,267 later we are very proud of not only our accomplishments but the relationships we have built with so many amazing rescuers, veterinary staffs, and veterinary doctors.

This past two years have been more challenging than any in the ten years before. But, we have also been blessed with amazing supporters who have generously donated so we never had to say NO. Even with some of the most difficult cases.

This is Wilder. He is another beautiful baby rescued with a litter of 6. We assisted with the spay/neuter and vaccinating for the entire litter but not long after, Wilder started showing signs of being ill. I will post more details later as to his symptoms but after tests, Wilder was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) which, without the application of currently experimental drugs, is deadly.

And, back to our Anniversary. In honor of the many animals, like Wilder, who we are helping with the expensive experimental program and in memory of the many animals who passed before we could help, I am asking for your donations, no matter how big or how small, to partner in our mission. Please remember that 100% of your donations go directly to medical funding. All additional costs to operate our organization is paid by our Board members.

Thank You in advance – Diana and the 4 Paws 1 Heart Board of Directors

PANDA UPDATE

UPDATE – Panda is actually with her new family and is doing great. Everyone is already in love with him and Panda just realized he loves the smell of coffee. Panda will be going back to the doctor next Friday as I mentioned and I will update everyone at that time.- diana.

8/13/22 – Panda’s neuter and eye removal surgery was successful yesterday and his foster mom tells me that he is doing good. Foster mom will be visiting with his potential new family today and if all goes well he will go to his home next week after his follow-up vet visit. The doctor will be checking the surgery as well as his other eye to see if there have been any changes and to determine whether is second eye needs removal. Keep Panda in your prayers. – diana

My 1 eye beauty Silvester (4 Paws 1 Heart paid for the removal of her eye) sends positive vibes to Panda. – Danielle

Honey sends lots of prayers your way. He thinks 4 PawS 1 Heart are the greatest! His eye removal was just completed all thanks to them! – Melissa

MUFFIN IS A FIGHTER

Update on little Muffins. Still in need of prayers for answers and healing. She is such a fighter and I just want her to get over the hump and on to a healthy future.

Little Muffins went through so much today.. She had chest x ray, a nasal flush, culture swabs, bloodwork, ear cytology, fecal sent out, and an oral exam all had to be done under anesthesia. As you can hear she is still having congestion and her nasal discharge was not better despite 6 weeks on 3 different antibiotics. It’s so frustrating to not know why, but I’m hoping there will be some answers soon. Fortunately this little girl is in good spirits and still eating well. – Gina

PANDA HAS A HOME AND FAMILY WAITING FOR HIM AFTER HIS SURGERYS

8/12/22 – Prayers for Panda. Our sweet boy, who will eventually need both eyes removed, is having one eye removed today along with his neuter. We have found his furever home after researching many applications. He will have two moms (one who works from home) and two siblings — a feline and a canine. Other than Panda’s eye issues he has been doing good and even tried getting frisky with one of his friends at his foster mom’s home. We will keep our friends informed. – diana.

HONEY AND SWEET POTATO (BUDDIES) NEED A HOME

8/10/22 – On July 12 a 4p1h friend and her friend trapped an injured cat they called Honey and her, friend Sweet Potato, who had been by her side for days. They went in the trap together. Honey had a visible puncture wound on right side of her back; her left eye was there, but something was not right with it and she was extremely emaciated. Melissa, the finder, contacted us for help. Both cats were seen within the day at one of our vets where they were treated for immediate needs. It turned out that Sweet Potato also had a wound on her back. The wounds were treated and both were give vaccines as appropriate for their conditions. A later appointment was made for Honey with one of our partner veterinary hospitals, Patterson Veterinary Hospital, to determine the issue with her eye. The vet determined that there was an eye but it, unfortunately, needed removal. Honey is having that done today and I am asking for your prayers for this very sweet cat who would love your love and attention. If you are interested in adopting either (or both buddies), please contact Melissa at: [email protected] – diana.
