These three 12 week old babies and the mom were going to be tossed outside until someone stepped up. The rescuer took them into her home when they were only a few days old. She covered the costs of spay/neutering for all of them. The black kitten became sick with bloodclots in his stool and for fear of his survival we offered to help. That’s when I found out the woman needed assistance with kitten food. A call was put out on my page and the babies are fully stocked up and already gaining weight. They all need homes or a rescue. Please contact her if you can help. [email protected] Jordan. We will be covering vaccines for all of them. Gina
On Friday night I saw that 4 Paws 1 Heart was tagged many times on an emergency post. I was afraid to wait until Monday, so yesterday morning I met the rescuer of this baby at the vet. They are calling her “Mia”. She was found about 1 week ago emaciated with ice caked over her ears and tail. She is all bones. Even her nose is raw.
Her flesh is rotting on the tips of her ears and tail. A full tail amputation is needed and the tips of her ears need to be cut off where the tissue is dead. Her paw pads all have frostbite, but we are not anticipating they will require surgery.
We are still on a hold for big cases but we cannot let her suffer. The doctor at Moore Vet, Dr. Henry, started her on antibiotics and pain meds and she was kind enough to squeeze her in for surgery on Tuesday.
The estimated cost for surgery is $500-$600 and then she will need vaccines, combo test, worming, and spay surgery. About $900 when all is done. We cannot do this without the help of others. Please consider donating today. Gina

Very late Thursday night a citizen dropped off a cat at City of Warren Animal Control. Friday morning when our ACOs came into work they quickly realized something was wrong. She was laying in her blanket, crying loudly and unable to stand. She was immediately rushed to an ER vet for care.
Initially her body temperature was incredibly low, and she appeared to be blind. Today after finally having her temperature come back to normal, some of her vision has returned and she is responding to visual stimuli. However, it was also discovered that she has a fractured pelvis.
We suspect she was hit by a car and then dragged herself to the citizen’s yard, before almost freezing to death in this awful cold we’ve had all week. Thankfully she was found and brought to our police station.
As for her injuries; while the vet believes two of the fractures will heal on their own, the third they feel will require surgery and pins.
Currently she is on a strong dose of pain meds, she is getting round the clock care, and for the most part now seems stable. Though at this time requires some help expressing her bladder. However, the level of care she will need is something that will likely require an orthopedic surgeon.
If your rescue has the ability to take this girl in, please let us know ASAP. Warren Animal Control has gone above and beyond to make sure she received care and was stabilized, but now we really need help from our rescue partners to save this girl.
*We did not have an opportunity to get a photo of her, so in place of a photo, these are her x-rays.*”
2/2/24 – Scott showed up in a colony once cared for by a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart. Unfortunately, she passed away but her friend, Danica, made sure the cats continued to be cared for. Scott was limping and had a difficult time putting weight on his paw. I recently followed up on Scott and Danica advised that Scott had a fracture which would heal itself. Danica had hoped to find a sanctuary but was not successful. The good news is that Danica decided to give Scott a permanent home with her. Although, Scott isn’t ‘snugly’ he like to be close and loves being on the couch. Scott still limps due to arthritis but he is one lucky, loved feline. – diana
2/1/24 – CORRECTION: Mona was not spayed; I authorized spay when appropriate. Sorry for the misinformation.The heart worm test was negative.
Mona was dumped at the Saginaw Animal Control Shelter. They were full and couldn’t keep her. A friend of 4 paws 1 heart who is a member of a rescue was able to get her and asked if we could cover her medical; especially, heart worm test, vaccines, spay, and blood work at this time. This was all done yesterday but I’m waiting for the results of the heart worm test. Paws crossed. – diana
4 Paws 1 Heart will always authorize spay/neuter for any stray animal we are asked to assist with medical treatment. The spay/neuter may not happen at the time of the initial visit in that many vets require a pre-visit, blood work, etc. Also, if the animal is sick, the spay/neuter will be scheduled when the animal is well. Our mission is to reduce the number of stray animals on our streets by providing medical treatment and that can only be done by ensuring the animal is never able to cause a pregnancy or have a pregnancy. – diana
1/31/24 – Voices for Community Cats found this kitten who had been dumped in the middle of the road. She is missing her upper lip. Harmony will be seen by one of the best, Dr. Zalac, Orion Animal Hospital, and I’l post the update after she is seen. – diana
