7/5/14 – Good Morning! I hope all of our feline fans aren’t too tired from their 4th of July parties to take a look at these two sweet babies rescued by our friend Jo A. and whose medical treatment was paid for by 4 Paws 1 Heart. Momma and Chloe were rescued from a filthy junk filled garage. It was filled to the top where they could crawl out of the roof. They had fleas so bad they were anemic. Chloe was critical with pan leukemia and almost died. Both females are spayed and up to date on vaccines. Momma is about 1 year and 2 months old. Chloe is about 7 months old. They are buddies and haven’t been separated since birth. Please share and consider opening your home to these two sweethearts. If you’re interested, contact Jo at joadd18@gmail.com ~ Thanks, diana

7/4/14 – Onyx just had surgery yesterday where a pin was placed in her broken leg to stabilize it. It will take several weeks of rest before we know if it is going to heal properly. She is a young kitten and they tend to do well. She is hospitalized getting antibiotics and pain meds around the clock. Thank you all for sharing and for any support you are able to offer. If you would like to donate towards her surgery it would be greatly appreciated. Visit our website. She will be going to her foster home on Tuesday if everything goes well. Huge thank you to Dr Pillsbury for doing the surgery and the staff at Harper Woods Veterinary and Animal Urgent Care for doing everything they can to keep this baby comfortable. ~ gina

7/4/14  THIS PUPPY NEEDS YOUR HELP! We are calling her “AMERICA” because she was found yesterday evening on the streets, alone, emaciated, covered in Demodexx, and a secondary skin infection causing her to have bleeding sores from head to toe. She will require twice a day oral medications, food, and tons of love. If you are that person to RESCUE HER please email me at gina.4paws1heart@gmail.com.  Please be patient with my responding back, but know I will as soon as I can!!! She is about 11-13 weeks old, black, pitty mix, and 14 pounds. ~ gina

7/4/14 – I hope that all of our fur and human friends have a fun and safe 4th of July. This past 6 months have been overwhelming and unbelievable for the number of kittens and cats we have been able to save. Not only have the kittens found their way safely into homes but many feral moms and dads have been fixed and will never be responsible for the overpopulation of felines. There were many who I didn’t even have the opportunity to share with our friends because of the numbers but the final results have been good. Debra B., Jo A., Debbi N, Mel W., all of you have made this possible.

These three babies were in a commercial garage with their feral mom. The owner found a dead kitten under a car hood on the engine and called out for help. On July 2, we were contacted and after we asked, our good friend Nicole Norton jumped into action. The kittens were trapped along with the mom. The kittens were immediately brought to our friends at Healthy Paws and found to have all had upper respiratory infections. Thank God we got them in time. We’ve had our share of eye removals because of this horrible infection so common in outdoor kitties. Thank You to Lisa, who contacted us and will be fostering them until they can be adopted. I will keep everyone updated with a contact number in case anyone is interested in adopting them. ~ diana

7/3/14 – HAPPY UPDATE!! Oreo was brought to us in September, 2013. He was nearly dead, emaciated and laying on the side of the road. I wanted to share his mom’s update and photo with our friends. ~ diana

“Oreo is doing great! He had a broken leg for about 6-8 weeks but it has healed. I woke up one morning to find that he wasn’t using his leg. The Vet did an Xray and found he has poor bone density most likely being malnourished while growing. (I think he was 5 lbs when you found him). She said it will improve over time. So he wore a cast for 6-8 weeks and did well with it! He’s all better now. He and our other cat Monty have bonded in an extraordinary way. They are best buddies (see pic). Oreo is such a sweet, sweet soul and LOVES to cuddle on your lap. He is 15 lbs now and a happy! Thank you for saving him! We recently moved and now he has a HUGE window to look out. He parks himself there every day. I’ll send you a picture. You’ll love it. My son asked me this morning, as a matter of fact, if I could put Oreo on his lap to cuddle when he gets home from camp. We really enjoy him. Ok enough . Ingrid”

7/4/14   Remember our little Mustang? He was hit by a car and suffered head trauma and then “4P1H” paid for the medical care he needed, and he was given a second chance? Now this little handsome guy needs a forever home. He needs to go to a home with no other animals because he insists on being the only one. We have tried him in a couple different situations and determined that he is a needy, playful, loving kitten. If you think you are the perfect home and you are looking for a wonderful forever companion please email me at gina.4paws1heart@gmail.com for more information. ~ diana

7/2/14 – 7/2/14 – Happy Hump Day from our very own mascot, Hercules!!! Hercules and Tari Kern of Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets are not only sponsors for our July 19 St. Clair Shores 5K Run/Walk Fur Fun event but they are donating this great fun basket for our raffle. I can’t wait to see this guy; it’s been too long. The last time I saw him, Herc was dressed in his Superdog costume. ~ diana

7/1/14 – Here is another case of cruel, evil, heartless people. A 2-year old Maltese was brought into the vet hospital because he was having seizures. The family did not want to deal with him anymore and had no interest in what kind of treatment would be recommended for a dog having seizures. They simply said that they didn’t want him anymore and we could have him. He was signed over to 4p1h. We discovered that he had sores on his knees and the tops of both of his back feet. His entire belly was stained bright yellow, so the sores are believed to be from laying in his own urine — urine scald. We put him on seizure medication and he hasn’t had one since. It is inexpensive to care for a dog having seizures and 4 paws 1 heart decided he did not deserve to die just because he has a condition. I’m hoping that we can find the perfect home for him where he will get the love he deserves. If you can help please, e-mail me at gina.4paws1heart@gmail.com

7/1/14 – We were contacted for help when this puppy was found dumped with a seat belt around his neck. He is about 13 weeks old, 17 pounds, male, adorable, sweet, and super friendly. He tested positive for Parvo and we provided the medical treatment for him. Now he is better and he needs a foster, rescue, or permanent home. If you can help, please e-mail me at gina.4paws1heart@gmail.com    Thank you!!!
