Rocky – Saved from Abuse and Cruelty But Now Seriously Ill

10/22/14 Update:  Update on dog brought into the emergency last night. The man who had rescued this very sweet boy from an abusive and neglectful environment brought him in as soon as he was given the OK. The dog was already turning yellow and in dire condition. He was immediately put on fluids, antibiotics, etc. As of last night, it still wasn’t apparent if he would need a blood transfusion or what was the cause of his illness. He is under excellent care and was fighting to survive. Please say a few prayers and send some positive energy. When he recovers, Gina has lined up the perfect foster (potential adopter) lined up. ~ diana

10/21/14  – We received the following call out for help by Lisa Taylor of Warren

Help!! Sweet young dog, very sick – possibly Lepto . The guys only had them 10 days, rescued him from a crappy situation but does not have the money to care for him. He needs medical care and fostering immediately!!”

Back Story:  A concerned citizen had contacted Lisa about what he believed to be a dog living in a very abusive situation.  Lisa was able to get the owner to surrender the dog and the person who reported the case offered to keep him.  Some 10 days later, the man contacted Lisa reporting the dog hadn’t eaten in 5 days and was very ill.  He could not afford to take the dog to the vet.  Lisa contacted 4p1h and we asked the man to bring (now called Rocky) Rocky to the emergency where he was already turning yellow from liver failure.  ~ Diana

Miss Kitty O’Shea – From Porch Kitty to Loved Kitty

Good Morning Happy Update: She is now known as Miss Kitty O’Shea but before she was the very skinny kitty who wouldn’t leave a porch. Something or someone had done something to her to cause many abrasions on her body. Noel B., a friend of 4p1h couldn’t bring her in and though she had to continue to live outside, Noel took care of her sores and kept feeding her. Noel, asked if we could take care of her vetting, vaccinating, and spaying in hopes of finding an adopter. We did and she did. Here is a photo of Miss Kitty before and now in her forever home. ~ dianamisskittyo'sheaw.noelbriggs misskittyosheaw:noelbriggs10:21:14

Sonic Update


10/20/14 – Sonic had his feeding tube removed! He acts like he NEVER ate before, so he’ll have to go to a home with no other animals for fear of “food bloating”. We are ready for him to go:)  He would love to be in his forever home.  If you would love to make him a member of your family, contact [email protected]Sonic10:20:14

Be Part of the Solution — Not Part of the Problem — Spay and Neuter


Joanne contacted 4p1h about a colony of cats and kittens behind a market in Shelby Twp. people have been feeding them but they are in pretty bad shape. One kitten appeared to have been injured and the back two legs were dragging behind him. Gina immediately asked Joanne to get the kitten into emergency. Unfortunately, the baby had been seriously injured and the legs were paralyzed, he also had internal injuries, along with many other issues. Unfortunately he could not be saved. But, the positive news is that three great individual rescuers who 4p1h has assisted on many occasions went out late today to start trapping/rescuing. I also want to add that our good friends atFerndale Cat Shelter will also be assisting on this project. Here is the update on tonights’s activities.

5 kittens were rescued tonight. 2 are 8 weeks old and 4p1h will pay for them to be vetted, vaccinated and dewormed (their little bellies are bulging so they are probably filled with worms) tomorrow morning; when they are ready, spayed. They will be fostered by one of the rescuers. A 10 week old, will be assessed by one of the 3 rescuers who went out there. She’ll determine whether this kitten is feral or not. Right now it’s looking positive for potential adoption. The final two are truly feral and they will be fixed and returned to be cared for by someone who is caring for the colony. ~ diana

Thank you 4 Paws 1 Heart for getting out to the Hollywood Market in Shelby Twp. as fast as you did to help out a paralyzed kitten. At least that baby isn’t suffering anymore and knew the soft and kind side of humans before he left us, I am so thankful for kind people like you who care about ALL living creatures. Thanksagain, keep me posted on the situation with all the other wild cats and kittens behind Hollywood, I hope the kittens can be caught and know human kindness before they are feral. I will remember you all when I have extra money for a donation, something I will do before xmas.


Minnow Going To a Foster

10/20/14 – Minnow will be going into a foster home this week and (fingers crossed) there is a strong potential that the happy couple will keep her for their own.  Sadly, their sweet feline family member recently passed away and we just hope that Minnow will work her way into their hearts.  ~ dianaminnow10:20:14
