Miss Ashton – Rescued With a Severe Upper Respiratory Infection

Posted on by
6/8/21 – I guess today is the day of Happy Updates. Here is another about Miss Ashton. Again, thank you for making a difference. – diana
I wanted to share the update about little Miss Ashton: thanks to 4 Paws and 1 Heart coming to her rescue the day she was saved two weeks ago, she is almost ready for adoption! She was very sick with a horrible upper respiratory infection the day we saved her from a colony of Cats in Detroit. It was a Sunday afternoon and Diana Rascano didn’t hesitate to back her vetting needs that day. Deborah Friedman was at the clinic that day and had us come in immediately.
Within 2 or 3 days, she was much better and acting like a little kitten should. She’s been with her foster Amanda Callahan for 2 weeks now and she is so sweet! For the Love of Cats rescue group and Nadi Tanbakuchi will be backing her going forward and I know she’ll find a fantastic forever home!
Two weeks ago today, we were busy trying to rescue this girl. It was a success! Her foster momma is so good to her and little Miss Ashton is loving life now! She will be ready for adoption in about 2 weeks!
Let me know if you are interested. She is backed by For the Love of Cats rescue now. 💗

Tommy Boy and Blu Blu – One Had a Floating Knee Cap; the Other a Broken Leg

Posted on by
6/8/21 – Updates: Tommy Boy was cared for in a cat community and was seen having problems walking. We were asked for help.Tommy Boy did go to one of our partner doctors and had x rays taken. The doctor diagnosed a “floating knee caps”. Surgery was not recommended because Tommy Boy is truly feral and would have been difficult to care for since he is opposed to being picked up and pain meds would be hard to give him He is back outside with his two buddies and the caretaker will continue to keep an eye on him.
Blu Blu was rescued last August and also was a stray cat being cared for by a homeowner. Somehow he broke his leg and that’s when we were called in to help. Blu Blu’s leg had to be amputated but today he is doing great inside his rescuer’s home enjoying his life with two other pets. I love when we get happy updates from our rescue friends. – diana

Stripes – Update – Life After Amputation

Posted on by
6/7/21 – Stripes Update. Stripes was rescued from the streets in late March. He was seen only using his 3 legs. After going to one vet for x rays and a diagnosis, he was taken to another one of our partner vets where his leg (arm) had to be amputated up to the shoulder. A very caring woman saw Stripes on our website and inquired about adopting him. The rescuer did the appropriate vetting and Stripes had a 3-week trial with the potential adopter. Here he is today, two months later, in his furever home. Don’t you love happy beginnings?? – Diana

Frankie – Diagnosed With a Severe Oral Infection – Stomatitis

Posted on by
6/7/21 – Frankie was rescued from a cat community. He was in a great deal of pain and was diagnosed with stomatitis. Last week he had his follow up appointment and had all of his teeth except his canines extracted. For the first couple of days after the surgery, Frankie was acted “down in the dumps” and not too interested in eating (no surprise). But after finishing his pain meds and finally eating some baby food, he began to act like a kitty again and is doing well. The rescuer is beyond herself with appreciation. Anyone interested in Frankie should contact Tina at: [email protected] – diana

Luna – Passed Around With an Injured Paw From Home to Home

Posted on by
6/3/21 – Prayers for Luna. Here is her story as reported by her rescuer:
“I just recently had a puppy dropped off to me asking me to foster her for a short while. I was told she has a fractured or broken paw although I’m not sure because she has been through two different homes where it was ignored and it’s not my dog or else I would be doing more. But, this puppy is in pain and constantly walking on her hurt paw possibly hurting it more. I can afford some of the vet bills such as getting her shots and possibly x-rays but I was really hoping for some assistance with the splint being that she may need one as soon as possible. Luna is 3 months old, she’s a pit bull/lab mix. Her previous owner said she doesn’t know how she hurt her paw and when she took her to the vet and they told her how much it would cost to get x-rays and a splint and she couldn’t afford it so she gave the dog to someone I know who has special needs. That person was kicked out of her house right after taking the pup in and she asked me to care for the puppy until she could get back on her feet. But, she lives with her parents and they said no to a dog. I don’t feel she’s a fit home for the puppy along with not being able to afford the procedures she might need and I plan on keeping the puppy if I can help her. – Joyce”
Joyce took Luna into her vet, which also happens to be one of our partner vets, and they referred her to us for assistance with the medical. More x-rays were taken and the doctor saw Luna again on May 10 and yesterday, June 2. The doctor is hopeful that Luna may be able to keep her leg as the leg appears to be healing on its own. She has a follow up appointment in two weeks. Paws crossed she has a clean bill of health. We will help Luna with any needed vaccines and spay. Joyce will keep us updated. – diana

Bean, Sawyer, Moon, Coco, Charlie – Rescued from a Mobile Home Park

Posted on by
6/2/21 – These babies were found in a mobile home park and will soon be ready for their makeovers. On June 17 they will be taken to the vet complements of 4 Paws 1 Heart. When you consider that a female cat can give birth 3 times a year and have an average of 5 kittens each time for almost her entire life, the investment made to have these babies neutered/spayed is a valuable one. A donation of $225 will ensure that these five will never be responsible for producing any more unwanted kittens. And, that is what it is all about. – diana

Posted on by
6/1/21 – Please say a prayer for little Abby. She was trapped yesterday with another kitten who was even sicker and passed away. She is about 5 weeks old and will be seen and treated by one of our partner veterinarians. There continues to be so many kittens being found on the streets with injuries and illnesses.
