11/13/24 – This is the second case that we would not have been able to significantly help without the donation from our amazing supporter. *Meet King, a Miraculous Survivor* who was rescued by our friends at Make A Difference Rescue.

King, is an 11-month-old puppy. He was abandoned outside after being deemed too big. His harsh solitude ended when he was rescued but the journey was just beginning. Initial vet checks revealed the need for neutering and vaccinations, but unforeseen complications arose. King’s health took a dire turn, vomiting a brown liquid, leading the rescue to rush him to the vet. X-rays exposed bone fragments lodged in his intestinal tract, requiring emergency surgery.

The bill was significant and we are thankful we could help with some of the bill and also very grateful that King was rescued in time, saving him from a tragic fate. This sweet boy endured unimaginable hardship in just 11 months. His story highlights the plight of discarded pets. UPDATE: After undergoing intense surgery yesterday to remove the lodged bone from his intestines, King remains under observation.

Thank you to Make a Difference Rescue and to our generous donors for truly making a difference. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

11/13/24 – Because of a very generous donation by a long-time supporter, we have been able to help with two significant cases we were contacted about. This case is about 40+ cats/kittens in Clair County, MI. The rescuer, Laura, contacted us to see if we could help with her project. She was able to get low cost spay/neuter from a kind veterinarian at the Clair County Animal Shelter. 4 Paws 1 Heart is helping with 20 cats and are very thankful that the overwhelming population of unwanted cats can be lessened because of this project and the caring people involved.

Please, if you have friends/family who have NOT spayed/neutered their cats, please share this post. Something like this can occur in less than a year from just one female and one male mating. A female cat can start producing at 4 months old and can have 3 litters a year. One intact female can produce an average of 15 cats annually; if just half of that amount are females, they will then go on to repeat this very sad situation.

Your donation makes a huge difference!! – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
