12/30/22 – From our dear friend, Emily K.

Rum Tum Tiger: He was the only surviver of 4 kittens born to a female rescued by our Fundraiser Team member, Shawn. The Village came together and tried so very hard to save the 3 but it was not to be. Rum Tum is healthy and Emily actually thought she had an adopter, but the person decided on another. Emily now has Rum Tum up for adoption and if anyone is interested, just email me and I will put you in touch. [email protected]

Doorbuster: Doorbuster was one of 9 puppies born around Thanksgiving. Two of the puppies were failing and, again, Emily stepped up. Sadly, one puppy (BOGO) didn’t survive but with Emily’s expertise and dedication (and love), Doorbuster is striving. On December 14 he was moved out of the incubator and into a playpen (although he was not happy about the move). On December 28 he was taken off of the bottle. He is growing fast and has been scheduled for his vaccines. Doorbuster will have his joints examined when he is vaccinated because he walks a bit bow-legged. Currently, Emily is working to strengthen his legs and works closely with Dr. Zalac as needed.

The Board and the 4 Paws 1 Heart Village wishes all of our amazing supporters, veterinary staffs, rescuers, fosters, and first responders, a 2023 filled with much love, laughter, and good health (not to mention doggie and kitty kisses). – diana
