Sabrina’s Sweet Cats Needs Homes
Many people will remember Sabrina Gianino, brutally murdered in her Grosse Pointe Park home on May 15, 2013. Sabrina worked at Platz Veterinary and was known as an avid animal advocate who especially loved those who were less apt to be adopted — black cats, some of whom had special needs.
She often would take them home to give extra care and love. After her murder, some of her pets found themselves without homes. Her good friend took in her cats and has taken very good care of them since, but now they need permanent loving homes. The trial to bring justice to Sabrina Gianino begins Monday, March 10, almost 1 year after her brutal murder. Myron Tyronne Williams, her neighbor, has been charged with her murder. Please share Sabrina’s story and let’s help in finding her sweet cats forever homes. Also, please pray for the family and close friends who will have to relive the horror of losing this very special angel. If anyone is interested in adopting, please contact [email protected]
Peanut
3/2/14 HAPPY UPDATES: Many of you will not even know our Peanut but I can’t tell you how thankful we are to our friend Mary E. for giving our boy such a wonderful, loving home. A stuffed animal who had lost his stuffing looked better than this little guy when he was brought into the Emergency. With lots of love from Gina and care from the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center, Peanut survived. Thank God for the caring relative who brought him in — he was so close to death. Now look at him!!! ~ diana
Soldier’s Story
When we read Soldier’s story, we had to offer help in the form of aqua therapy with Lori Jobak of 4Paws Health & Wellness. Lori did evaluate Soldier and believed it would be worthwhile to work with Soldier to see if amputation of his leg could be avoided. Unfortunately, his foster family had a new baby and could no longer commit to Soldier, let alone therapy sessions. 4 Paws 1 Heart would love to follow through on paying for his first round of therapy sessions but Soldier needs a new foster who can commit to taking him to the sessions. Please help Home Fur-Ever and Soldier find that foster. Here’s contact information and Soldier’s story. ~ diana
“Soldier is in need of a new foster home that can take him to his physical therapy appointments. He’s a little reserved at first, but is such a doll. 313.645.4399 [email protected] orhttp://
Soldier *Will not need to attend events for several weeks, but will need to make PT appointments*

January, 2014: Last night a couple of HFE volunteers responded to an Urgent post about an injured dog seeking refuge in a backyard of a homeowner in Detroit who reached out for help. With the horrible weather they couldn’t bare the thought of this dog being out there left to suffer in pain and freeze. He has been named Solder and was taken to the vet for medical evaluation last night. He has nerve damage and if the feeling doesn’t return, his leg will have to be amputated. We are asking everybody to share this, as we are searching for another rescue or someone that can help him by fostering him and caring for him while he heals. It would not be fair to evaluate this dogs temperament right now as he was just saved from the freezing cold and is suffering from an injury, so we can not give a true assessment of his temperament, however, he did seem to really take to the homeowner and was fine with the volunteers that transported him. Unsure how he is with other dogs.” ~ Home Fur-Ever
Little Hemi
2/26/14 – Although we have the potential for two major surgeries coming up, we had to help our good friends at The Devoted Barn and, now, Tigerlily Cat Rescue. We have sent medical dollars to help little Hemi. For future updates follow Hemi on the Tigerlilly Cat Rescue facebook page. Here is his story ~ diana
“We wanted to take a moment to introduce you to our sweet boy Hemi … Hemi came to us emaciated, dehydrated, suffering from an upper respiratory infection, and with burns from crawling into cars’ engine compartments to stay warm. All this, and he is still the sweetest, most appreciative, and loving fella! He is eating and drinking quite well, and on antibiotics. He did get some fluids as well, but is now holding his own and not clinically dehydrated. The vet feels he has a good long term prognosis!” ~ Tigerlily Cat Rescue
Karl and Molly with The Devoted Barn
2/25/14 – 4 Paws 1 Heart very much appreciates the overwhelming efforts made by our rescue friends. Karl and Molly are with The Devoted Barn and we are thankful that we are able to send them some medical dollars. Here is their story. Please follow them on The Devoted Barn facebook page:
“These two beat up, bonded pups found their way to Matick Chevy early this morning looking for help. They were in luck as our awesome Anna works there. Our friend Jamie ran over and picked them up and they are now headed to our vet. They are in bad shape, The brown boy we’ve named Karl has a tumor on his back and the female we’ve named Molly has wounds all over her face. “

Meet Lucy and Holly
2/4/14 – Meet Holly and Lucy. We are very happy to have two less stray females on the street capable of reproducing. Wish them luck in getting their forever homes.
Update on Cole
2/7/14 – Update on Cole. This under 2 year old male kitty has been through more than enough in his short little life but his strength and sweetness goes beyond words. Cole recently underwent a major operation because he was having trouble urinating on his own. The decision was made after several attempts to treat urinary tract infections and unblock his urethra. Cole was also treated for an ear infection, intestinal parasites, and fleas. He has been feline leukemia tested negative, vaccinated, dewormed, and neutered. The amazing Dr. Pillsbury and Animal Urgent Care doctors and staff have all been so good to this little lover who has been hospitalized for 4 weeks now.. 4p1h wanted to give Cole a 2nd chance but we could not do it without your help. Please share his story and let’s try to find him his forever home. He is such a fighter and now he will be such a loving family member. If anyone is interested in giving Cole a forever home, please contact us at [email protected].
Meet Jack
2/6/14 – Meet Jack: He was looking for warmth under the hood of a car and was seriously injured by a fan blade. Thankfully, a good Samaritan found him and contacted our friend Jo A. who contacted us. Our good friends at Patterson Veterinary Hospital made room in their schedule to see him and although he had a serious gash in his body, he is doing great tonight. His foster says he is the sweetest and has already fallen in love. We’ll update everyone on his status. ~ diana
