7/9/24 – The mission of 4 Paws 1 Heart is “To reduce the number of homeless animals by funding medical treatment for stray, abused, and abandoned companion animals.” Many on our Board take our mission one step further by assisting in adoption of animals we assist. Our Board member and Vice President, Gina DeLuca Jenio, is a licensed veterinary technician at Moore Veterinary. Gina will assist with getting stray animals into that vet, rescuing and finding lost animals, and very often fostering. Cynthia Wojtowycz coordinates our Petfinder site which is used to help independent rescuers of animals we help to find an adopter; she also rescues hospice and elderly cats and fosters independently. Many know Denise Najera,A Second Chance Chance and foster mom to special needs cats whom 4 Paws 1 Heart has helped medically and also created and coordinates a cat food pantry to help the elderly and those who care for colonies. And, Dee Gudenau, who created and coordinates The Kitty Room at the Pet Supplies Plus store on Harper and 13 Mile, St. Clair Shores, which again is used to assist the independent rescuers we assist with medical needs. These are just a few examples of how our Board members take on projects of their own to make a difference beyond their role as 4 Paws 1 Heart Board members. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
