7/13/20 – We are calling her “Bernie”.
This EXTREMELY sweet female adult kitty was found outside with a large laceration on her tail. Dr. Burkholder at Moore Veterinary Hospital, fixed her all up and she is recovering in the finders home. 4 paws 1 heart, has covered her surgery and her care to ensure that she is healthy.
The pics of the wound are to graphic to post…neighbors have seen coyotes in the area.
According to the finder this baby has been roaming for several months.. 🙁
We definitely don’t want to see her back outside, but the lady that is helping already has her limit of cats. Rescue groups are full, and resources are exhausted.
Please help share this very sweet docile girl.. She needs a forever home!♡ Email me for more information [email protected] and if you would like to donate towards her care, you can do so atwww.4paws1heart.org
Thank u – Gina

7/13/20 – These little beauties, Squeaky and Stella, are two of many being rescued from an area that has been sorely overlooked when it comes to spaying and neutering stray cats. Unfortunately, in most cases, the cats were abandoned by the owner, were not spayed/neutered, and were either left behind in the home or thrown outside. And, as we’ve talked about many times before, just one female left behind in the wild, left intact, can produce an average of 15 kittens a year. It’s not difficult to do the math and understand how one male and one female cat can go from 2 to 15 to 30 in just two years. Squeaky and Stella are getting spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested today and then will be looking for their forever homes. If you are interested in these beauties, you can fb message me and I will put you in touch with Debbie. Just give me your contact information. We couldn’t do this without you!! – diana

“Hi Facebook…..Gronk here….you probably don’t recognize me because I’m getting to be such a big boy! I was the whittle kitten found roaming the streets of St. Clair Shores on July 1st. Look how big I am! I gained 6.6 oz since I’ve been at my foster home. Over a pound of cuteness here! My gunky eyes is all better- boy I didn’t like those drops but I took it like a man. My favorite color is Orange, of course. I love my lambie….I sleep with him all the time. I’m an awesome toy player. I’m drinking my kitty milk all by myself now and eating some wet food. Foster Mom says I’m a little spastic kitten….but that’s good right?
So soon….Foster Mommy says I will be going to the vet for a check up…why do I need to go??? I’m purr-fect. My medical is sponsored by 4 Paws 1 Heart – so if anyone would like to donate towards it or other homeless animals please go here for more info. www.4paws1heart.org/donations And tag your donation “GRONK” – Dee”

7/11/20 – Our friends Jo and Debra, independent rescuers, were called into duty again last night around 9 in a downpour of rain. Jo lives next to a fire station and they called on her because they kept hearing meows. After searching and searching through an excavator where the sounds were coming from, they placed tuna where they thought the kittens (?) could get out. Look at what happened. One by one 4 kittens came out and were rescued. Our friends will continue to search for the mom and our other friend and expert, Debbie, will assess the situation and 4 paws 1 heart will take care of any medical needs.

7/10/20 Harriet update. We have to wonder how this poor baby got so many breaks in her leg. And the Lord only knows the pain she must have been going through while in the shelter. Thankfully our friend from Genesee County contacted Denise. – diana

“CARLA: Well Team, it’s been a kinda rough night. My room mate Harriet is home, but she refuses to wear her cone. They couldnt keep it on at the vets either. And the more the anesthesia wears off the harder it was for mom to try and get the cone to stay on and the more upset poor Harriet was getting. But thanks to our awesome village, our friend Lisa Acierno-Troia brought a soft blow up collar and Auntie Debra went and bought Harriet Apple Bitter deterrent to put around the incisions to deter Harriet from licking. Mom got the Apple Bitter dabbed on with cotton balls and she will try the collar in the morning. Right now Harriet has had her pain meds, dinner and is sleeping so I’m going to have mom quietly tuck me into my bed and I’m going to be sooo quiet and watch my cartoons. Sweet dreams everybody, we’ll keep you posted tomorrow.
Goodnight Harriet, I love you ❤”

7/8/20 – RIP Milo. For 17 years Milo has been a stray cat being cared for by a very kind woman who had also cared for his mom and siblings. A little while back we helped Milo be treated for an infected leg. But yesterday he was allowed to cross the Rainbow Bridge and meet up with his mom and siblings. Milo hadn’t been eating well for a number of weeks and could no longer stand for any period or be able to defend himself in the wild. His last sibling, Simba, will surely miss him. Again, I say, may God bless those who help the most vulnerable. – diana

7/6/20 – Update on Silvester who had an eye removed last week. She is home and her spirits are good. Here is a message from her rescuer, Danielle:

7/2/20: “Silvester had her eye removal surgery yesterday and the vet called me last night to let me know everything went well and she was just starting to wake up. I have to call this morning at 8am to see if she gets to come home today (fingers crossed).
I strongly feel she was either trapped somewhere or someone had her inside because I never went more then a day or two without seeing her for 2 years. Come March and we just completely stopped seeing her. I went out and searched for her everyday, sometimes several times a day. I never gave up hope I would see her again. I knew immediately when I saw her and said “Silvester” and she looked at me and gave me the biggest meow while running towards me. That’s when I noticed her eye, it looked awful and I knew it wasn’t good.
I couldn’t have done this without the support of 4 Paws 1 Heart. They didn’t even hesitate to help me and I had promised Silvester she would never be going back outside again!! I’ve already managed to put some pounds back on her, she loves her soft food and kitty treats and I know within time I will have the weight put back on her (we used to joke that if we didn’t know that she had been fixed, we would have thought she was pregnant because she was so chubby but I had TNR’d her so we knew she wasn’t pregnant, she was just chubby from all of her special feedings).
The way she ran to me, it’s almost like she knew she needed help and she found me. She knew I wouldn’t turn my back on her no matter what!!
Before her TNR we thought she was a he and that’s how she got her name. When she went in for her TNR we were surprised that he was actually a she but she already knew her name so it’s always stuck with her.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers and again the biggest thank you goes to Diana and 4 Paws 1 Heart.”

7/3/20 – SouthMittensKittens is a rescue who we’ve been happy to help several times. Charlie, Gus, and Frankie were all rescued in the severe month of February. Smokey, Ren, Hazel, and Boots were all left behind after their mom was hit and killed by a car. As of a few days ago, Ren was still available for adoption. If you are interested in adopting a kitten there are plenty of sweeties out there needing love. You can reach this rescue at: [email protected] We were happy too help each one of these babies with their medical so that they would be ready for their new forever homes. – diana
