This is Tiggy. As you can see he needs medical attention for his eye. The rescuer said he was in a cat fight. There is a surgery appointment scheduled for this week and we will be assisting with $400 towards his medical. If you would like to help us continue to be there for injured strays like Tiggy, you can donate at our link below. The need is greater than we can keep up with. Thank you.
We offered to help when contacted from a rescuer who found this stray malnourished cat with ice frozen to her tail and ears. Amputation was required because the damage was so severe. The frostbite on her paw pads is almost healed. We covered her spay surgery 2 weeks ago and she is now ready for a forever home. Mia would do best in a home as the only cat. If you are interested please let me know and I will put you in touch with the rescuer. Thank you. Gina
These adorable kittens were rescued as strays. They are currently showing symptoms of upper respiratory infections, but we have authorized the finder to bring them into one of our partner veterinary hospitals for treatment. Please send healing vibes for them to get better. Meeko and Jasmine will also be looking for forever homes once they feel better! For more information, email Briana [email protected] And, if you would like to help towards vetting, spaying and neutering, or the endless need for medical help our link is below. Thank you
Donny is another injured stray in need of help. He was found pretty beat up and in pain. We are fortunate for Good Samaritans and so many caring individuals who open their heart and home up to these homeless animals. The finder thinks Donny was dumped when owners were evicted. Please keep him in your prayers that he will make a quick recovery, and if you want to help Donny our link to donate is below.
We were contacted about Mia who suffered severe frostbite. She required amputation of her tail, tip of her ears, and her spay. Her little feet are still healing. She is in need of a forever home. Preferably, no other cats. If you are interested I’ll put u in touch with the foster. Gina
Remember sweet precious Mia who was found frozen 2 weeks ago and full of frostbite? I was just talking with her rescuer and her tail and ear amputation are healing, but her pads on feet are sloughing and damaged from the frostbite. We are having the doctor recheck her tomorrow for possibly another round of antibiotics to prevent secondary infection. This girl still needs to be vaccinated and fixed. If you would like to donate to Mia here is the link and put Mia in the note. We will post after her hospital visit tomorrow. Thank you Gina
One phonecall led to another and resulted in a small group of people saving a stray dog from destruction. Steve was the rescuer, Misfit Angels Rescue was the group that got this boy out of the shelter, and 4 Paws 1 Heart helped to network it and pay for neutering/vaccines. Cody came from the cold, lonley, scary streets of Detroit and into a warm, loving, safe, home. He will no longer have to worry about where or when he will eat, he will not have to stay awake for protection, he will not be cold, scared, injured, or harmed. His future will be wrapped in love and kindness because of people who took the time to care. Gina

A litter of kittens born on the roof of a house in GPS were rescued at a few weeks old. The mom cats tend to do this to avoid being killed by coyotes in the area. I’m told that In GPS you are not allowed to feed outside cats or you will be fined. Unfortunately, the animals who do not choose to be born are not given medical help or rescue options in this city. Over the last several months we have been contacted and offered to assist with vetting because we do not deny help for an animal that is in need. Grace, Thomas, and Baxter are about 6 months old and ready for good homes. If interested I will put you in touch with the current foster. Gina
Unfortunately, people continue to try and scam by using our logo for t shirt and hoodie puchases. We try to keep up with these scams and report/delete when brought to our attention, but if you see any of this happening with clothing or inappropriate messages please let us know and we will address it immediately. As of right now we do not have an online merchandise availability, so assume these are all scams. Eventually we hope to have an online purchase option on our website. This was the most recent scam used on our page 2 days ago. Thank you, Gina
3/7/24 – On March 3, 2017, Carla arrived in the home of Team Chance. She had been surrendered to the Taylor Animal Shelter after having her legs slammed in a door and becoming paralyzed. She was only 9 weeks old. 4 paws 1 heart was contacted and after I spoke with Denise (the foster mom to Chance) we agreed to take on Carla’s medical needs. We had hoped she would be able to some day walk (although a little Gimpy) like Chance, but unfortunately no amount of therapy was enough. So, if anyone knows what a medical challenge is and how much unwanted animals need our amazing Village, it’s our girl, Carla.
This is great advice but I would also like to suggest that in addition to microchipping your pet, you consider looking into collars (breakaway especially for cats) that have air-tag type equipment which will provide tracking ability just in case your baby escapes the house. – diana
CARLA: Well Team, on Sunday we turn our clocks forward 1 hour. Spring will officially be here very soon and kitten season will be in full swing! While we’re making our plans for the warmer weather, kittens will be being born in garages, back yards, fields, under houses and in the streets. They will be starving, getting hit by cars, attacked by predators…4 legged and sadly 2 legged.
4 Paws 1 Heart will be trying to keep up with all the calls they will be getting to help pregnant mamas, injured kittens, and vaccines, spay and neuter for kittens and cats being saved by rescuers. There’s 3 ways you can help.
1. Make sure your pets are spayed & neutered.
2. Keep your cats inside where they are safe.
3. Make a donation to 4p1h so they can keep up with the demand and continue saving lives and making Second Chances and happily ever afters possible.
