11/15/22 – On November 4, 2022, I received the following:

“Hello, my name is Brett, and me and my wife Shelby have been taking care of this underfed cat. It has been neglected, and coming around for food, and starting to stay with us. We’ve helped bring it back to health from grooming and getting rid of fleas to just giving the cat a nice home. It is missing an eye, and has not been sown up, which we believe is a serious health concern as well as probably not being spayed and chipped. We are able to feed it but our budget is so tight, there’s no way we can afford to fix this little lady up at the vet. If there’s anything you can do we would appreciate it so much. We are planning on taking her in, just with the right help she needs. Thanks for your time!”

Well, in anticipation of potential support from our followers, I authorized this baby’s visit. The family chose to call her “one eye” (hopefully temporarily). Yesterday she was seen by one of our partner doctors and she wasn’t actually missing an eye but the eye was so bad it needed to be removed–which I authorized.

There are just so many cases like this with fur orphans needing our help and I’m just so thankful to have so many engaged supporters. One Eye is now a permanent resident in a loving home because of the 4 Paws 1 Heart Village. – diana.

11/14/22 – Cookie was rescued in late July, 2022 by a good friend of 4p1h who we’ve helped on several occasions. Cookie was pregnant and our friend, planning ahead, asked if we could cover the potential medical needs. We said “yes”. Cookie had 6 kittens but she was very sick and ended up in emergency and when released she was unable to care for her babies. That is when our wonderful Village stepped in but not before two kittens died, leaving four very sick babies to be cared for. Over the months, several of our friends stepped up to help but unfortunately all but one would survive. That was Rum Tum Tiger. This little guy is a fighter and has overcome so many setbacks. And, now, although still suffering with some diarrhea, I was contacted and advised he was ready for his vaccines and neuter (along with a fecal test). That was all done October 27. Rum Tum tested negative for FIV and FeLV and received meds for his diarrhea issue. He will soon be ready for adoption and if you are interested in this beautiful boy, please contact Emily at: [email protected]

AND, one more piece of good news — COOKIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!! What a journey for all. – diana.

11/14/22 – The $5,000 MATCH IS ON until November 24, 2022. Unfortunately in our quest to raise money and get back to ‘normal’, we have many opportunities for our friends to support the many fur orphans on our streets.

Here are a couple of happy updates to start your Monday lunch hour:

Chloe – It was back in June, 2022 when she was rescued with a very severe upper respiratory infection. Of course, 4p1h covered her medications and eventually her testing, vaccinations, and spay. Chloe was posted on our courtesy Petfinder site and last week she was adopted. This is the photo of her when she was rescued.

Aurora – It was September 2021 when Aurora was found near train tracks on the east side of Detroit. At only about 7-8 weeks she was very scared, emaciated, and dehydrated. All of her basic needs were taken care of but during her stay with a foster she had to have treatment for skin allergies. But, now all is good and Aurora has now been formally adopted and just had her one year birthday party. What a difference love and the support of our friends can make in the lives of people and animals. – diana.

11/11/22 – Dear Friends, Just in case you didn’t know, 4 Paws 1 Heart has been in a “Restricted Mode” for helping the fur orphans that need us to survive. The cost of medical treatment, the continued overtaxing of our veterinary clinics (especially the low-cost clinics) and inflation have had a significant impact on our fundraising as well as the health of the animals who are eventually rescued. So, I, along with our Board and a few great volunteers who are also rescuers, have been pulling out all stops to raise funds. This is one of them. I was very honored to have been contacted by the Detroit News with the offer to join in the Holiday Cheer for Charity knowing that it will require a lot of dedication on everyone’s part. But, I thought — What do we have to Lose?? So, please check this out. Voting starts today at noon and requires a vote everyday. Please put us on your calendar and once you have the link, it shouldn’t take more than a minute to vote for 4 Paws 1 Heart. Thank you in advance. It means so much to us as well as the thousands of animals we have been able to help over the past 12 years. Over $1.7 million dollars has been paid to date in medical treatment for animals rescued by good Samaritans, animal control officers, rescue organizations and first responders. Thank YOU so very much. – diana.

11/10/22 – I hope everyone has noticed the change in our banner on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/4Paws1Heart/. Our Board member, Kim Fuhrman, is working on creating an active banner that will focus on some of more severe current cases. As most of you know, one of those cases is our little Muffins. And, many generous friends have gotten Muffins to where she is thus far but as Gina reported, more will be needed. And that’s where another great friend of 4 paws 1 heart has come through.

So, I’m announcing another MATCH!! This is a $5,000 Match which will begin tomorrow and end on Thanksgiving Eve, November 23, 2022. So thank you in advance. This donation and yours will not only help Muffins but will help us get back to normal for the rest of the orphans we try to help like Peanut, Ozzie, Callie, and BooBoo. – Diana.
