“This is Cassie (aka Panther Cat) formerly Onyx. We were new to our country home & experiencing a lot of change & uncertainty when this little darling limped up our driveway. Needless to say the last thing we had on our minds was a new addition to the family but we could not stand to see an animal suffer & we knew if we took her to a kill shelter she would certainly be put down due to how injured her leg seemed. We contacted Jo Sweeney Addington who earlier that day had lovingly agreed with her rescue to help the cat hoarder situation but directed me to 4 Paws 1 Heart for help. Gina DeLuca was diligent in her care & communication to get this baby seen & during that short time we fell in love & decided to foster & then adopt, knowing that Cassie might very well need her leg amputated. I was not all offended that Gina investigated our background to make sure that we were not deceitful in our attempt to seek free care for a current animal & that we could provide a safe home for a special needs animal-in fact this is the kind of organization I want to support-an organization with a clear mission statement that is run with integrity. Gina found the best care for Cassie & Dr. Pillsbury at Harper Woods veterinary hospital was even able to save her leg! We can never repay 4 Paws 1 Heart for the love Cassie has brought to our family but we continue to make them part of our monthly budget to support the needs of helpless abandoned injured animals. God bless your organization!!!
Love,
Melody & Bill T.
