10/15/24 – Happy Update! On October 2 we posted about Pooh who was rescued and needed surgery for entropion in both eyes. He had his surgery yesterday and his life saver, Brooke, reported that he is doing great. Here are the the before and after photos.
This is how your donation dollars are spent and as I’ve said so many times before, it truly takes a village of caring people who want to make a difference. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/15/24 – Kali was rescued with another kitten who had a severe diarrhea issue but even more importantly, Kali was in need of an eye removal. Both of them were rescued from the streets near Lansing and the rescuer, Shelby, contacted us for assistance.
Kali was scheduled for eye removal (as you can see from the photo, she looks to have a pinpoint eye) and Maloney, the other cat was scheduled for his diarrhea issue. Here is Shelby’s update on Kali: “Kali is doing amazingly, and will be going to her new home soon! She’s finishing up her antibiotics. I’m so grateful for you.
I try to cover as much as I can financially for cat rescue costs, but being on my own without 501c3, I don’t have donors. I literally couldn’t have helped her without you. I’m telling everyone who will listen to donate money your way! I wish I could donate too, but I provide SO much food and litter for families that can’t afford it, along with spay/neuter/vaccination and other medical. I’m so incredibly thankful for Kali. She is just the sweetest girl.
Her street days in Lansing are over!!!-Shelby” Without our supporter/donors, sweet orphans like Kali would never have that second chance at life.
10/15/24 – Roman and Romeo “randomly showed up” at their rescuer’s home. Unfortunately, Rebecca (homeowner) already has 3 cats but she couldn’t turn them away. Roman and Romeo were authorized to be tested, vaccinated, and neutered at Rescue Veterinary Services and will be looking for their furever home.
If you are interested, please contact Rebecca at: [email protected] – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations
10/14/24 – Pip and Squeak showed up in the area of the finder, Marisa. She assumes they were dumped because they are very young and no mom or other siblings were found. They will both start their vetting process tomorrow with our great friends at Patterson Veterinary Hospital.
Thankfully they will be safe and warm as winter approaches. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/11/24 – Cookie. This beauty was found wandering around the rescuer’s home for a few days. She is very friendly and Kimberly, her rescuer started feeding her while trying to find an owner. No one claimed her so Kimberly brought her in and contacted us.
Cookie is very thin and has some bumps and a rash under her chin. She will be seen at Rescue Veterinary Services where she will be treated and fully vetted which includes vaccines and spay. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/11/24 – On September 28 we posted about Gizmo and Baby Girl; cared for by a kind woman who had recently lost her husband. She became concerned about Gizmo because his eyes appeared infected and they both needed vaccines and spay/neuter.
We first authorized Gizmo to be seen at Groesbeck Animal Hospital for a possible upper respiratory infection so that he could be treated quickly. We then authorized both to be seen at Rescue Veterinary Services for vaccines and spay/neuter.
Upon seeing the doctor there, it was suggested that Gizmo see an eye specialist. Gizmo will now be seen by one of our “go-to” doctors at Orion Animal Hospital who I trust implicitly with eye issues. Prayers for Gizmo that his eye can be saved. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/11/24 – Precious was found wandering the streets — just a baby bleeding from the nose. Her finder cleaned her eyes and nose and contacted us for help.
Precious was taken to our great friends Five Mile Animal Hospital where she was treated for an upper respiratory infection.
Once recovered from the infection she was vaccinated for rabies and distemper and when appropriate spayed. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/10/24 – Her finders believe she was thrown out of a car. She sat in the front of a house for 10 hours while the homeowners tried to find her owner.
She was taken in by a kind woman whose daughter has fallen in love and we were thankful to have Sweetie seen by one of our partner veterinary clinics, Five Mile Animal Hospital. Sweetie tested negative for any diseases and will start her vaccines in two weeks.
A huge thanks to those who responded to a call for help for this very sweet puppy. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/8/24 -A woman whom we’ve helped in the past, Jessica, contacted us again to get assistance for a sweet little stray. This is Sid, an elderly woman reached out to Jessica to borrow her live trap because there were kittens hanging out in her back yard and one by one they were disappearing. The woman lives right off of the service drive of 696 and was fearful they were wandering onto the freeway. Sid was the only one left but he was too fast and to feral to be caught. Jessica spent three days helping the woman catch this little guy. Sid was seen at Patterson Veterinary Hospital and he is safe and loved. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
10/7/24 – In late winter a pregnant stray cat started hanging around a very kind man’s home. He brought her in and she had two babies, Mr. Rocket and Mr. Hook. He asked for our assistance and we said ‘yes’. They were tested, vaccinated, and neutered at West Flint Animal Hospital.
The boys were priority in that they are at an age where they could have impregnated the mom. The rescuer will be taking care of mom next. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
