Hi everybody, it’s me Bridgette! Mom’s Birthday Fundraiser is off to a great start and we’re so excited to try to beat last year’s total! I thought I would tell you my story so you can understand why 4 Paws 1 Heart is so dear to our hearts.

So it was 2015 mom got a call from a friend about a horrible hoarding situation. Moms friend thought I may be pregnant and could mom foster me and give me a safe place to have my babies. Of course mom said yes. Well, turns out I was just pleasingly plump .

But I did come with a host of other problems and was about 7yrs old then. Bad teeth, horrible earmites, extreme allergies and severe asthma. Mom thinks all were due to the horrible conditions I came from. I was lucky to get out alive (many of my friends did not )

There were many vet visits for all my ailments, especially my asthma. Lots of meds, lots of late nights and worry but 4 Paws 1 Heart was always, always there for me. I’m doing much better these days, my asthma is under control and although my allergies still pop up, it’s not near as bad becuse of all the good care I get at home and the great medical care I got early on when I was at my worst. Now, I’m part of Chances Gang (A Second Chance for Chance) and a treasured member of our family.

Mom says Im the sweetest, best door greeter, kitten wrangler and most precious little old lady she’s ever met! I love my life..please donate so others can live a long, happy, healthy life like me Thankyou for your generosity!

12/30/23 – On November 30 Kendall found 2 stray kittens, Hazel and Alice, (about 5 months old) in the Texas Roadhouse parking lot at 23 mile road, MI. She was able to capture them using a live trap, and then she set them up in her bathroom while she figured out the next steps. As so many who happen to come upon an animal in need,, Kendall and her husband weren’t planning on rescuing two kittens; they had just spent whatever money they had on home repairs. But, they couldn’t stand the thought of these very sweet animals trying to survive in the wild. Kendall and her husband decided to rescue them and make sure the kittens were in good health, vaccinated, and spayed and then try to find them a home. Kendall contacted several rescues/shelters without success and was advised that if they couldn’t find placement to just TNR them. But the couple just didn’t have the heart to put them back out in the freezing rain even if they were able to get them spayed. Kendall’s mom suggested that she contact 4 paws 1 heart which is what she did on December 4. Hazel and Alice were first taken into The Kitty Clinic to have a wellness exam, a fiv/felv test, and to get their distemper/rabies vaccines. One of the kittens has an eye infection and when that is cleared they will be spayed. Kendall reports that a friend may be adopting both — paws crossed. – diana

12/28/23. – Disco was rescued after he had been attacked by a dog. He had two deep puncture wounds on his paw and couldn’t move his toes. His rescuer, Jordan, thought the paw was already infected. We were contacted on November 27 and Disco was able to seen the next day by Dr. Mina of Five Mile Animal Hospital. Disco was treated for the infections. Jordan reported on November 29 that Disco was recovering well and on December 13 he had his snap test, rabies/distemper vaccines, and neuter. Although Jordan has already recently rescued and rehomed two other orphan cats, we offered courtesy posts on our petfinder site and Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart if needed. – diana
