5/26/20 – More cats (Oreo, Willy, Smoke, and Tom) we were able to get neutered/spayed, vaccinated and treated medically, this past winter before the pandemic closed all veterinary hospitals down. Fortunately, these little ones are all safe and in homes. So many kittens are being born now because of the shutdown and mamas and babies will soon be old enough to get neutered/spayed. But, unfortunately, because of the shut down, the hospitals are way behind in their work. Many thanks for all of your continued support. – diana

5/25/20 – Please wish our co-founder, Gina DeLuca Jenio and her husband, Dave Jenio, many years of happiness. Their wedding celebration had to be postponed due to the virus but they still said their vows in a private ceremony. On their wedding day, many friends, family and neighbors got together to wish them the best during a huge drive by which actually made the local news. Here is Gina and Dave with Skippy, best dog man, and Angel, maid dog of honor. Skippy was rescued after being surrendered. Angel, was dying from Parvovirus when Gina took her in and saved her. Angel has been a blood donor and foster mom for many kittens and puppies. The Jenio’s are a beautiful family. May God Bless Them! – diana

Punkin, Tigs, Bernie, Ken, and Grayling – Found on the Streets
As I’ve said a number of times, in my effort to not overwhelm you with our stories, I’ve become woefully behind in at least sharing the photos of the many cats we’ve helped since last Fall/Winter. Here are a few more of them. And, once again, there would be no need for 4 Paws 1 Heart if we didn’t have so many amazing people who never turn their backs on an animal in need. So again, God bless the rescuer, the foster, the adopter, the veterinary staffs, and our supporters. Here are Punkin, Tigs, Bernie, Ken, and Grayling. All of them were found on the streets. Some just needed the usual spay/neuter/vaccines/deworming/flea-mite treatment, others needed treatment for wounds. -diana

Little Foot – Rescues With a Large Gash on His Leg and Broken Bones
5/15/20 – Doesn’t it seem like we’re always praying these days. Whether it’s for our Country, our first responders, friends on the front lines, or these poor, vulnerable babies born on the streets. This is Little Foot. He was rescued during a TNR project. The wonderful women trying to help as many as 20 strays, noticed that Little Foot couldn’t put weight on his leg and had a visible gash on his leg. They are working with All About Animals where Little Foot had been taken to be neutered but they don’t have x ray equipment, so we were called for help. This handsome little guy went to one of our great vets yesterday who determined that his leg would need to be amputated. Little Foot’s injury is very severe. It appears that something penetrated through his joint. The wound is exactly where his leg would bend. Because of this penetration going through his joint, many small and intricate bones were affected. Any attempts to repair the trauma would be difficult and would probably result in arthritis if the surgery would be successful. Also, because the wound was infected, his leg was wrapped in gauze and it will be treated daily until the leg can be safely amputated. – Everyone at the vet who took care of Little Foot said he is very sweet although scared (of course). So please say a little prayer for Little Foot and all of the other babies who’ve yet to be rescued. – diana

Kittens – 6 More Kittens Taken in By Our Friend
5/14/20 – Speaking of Patricia. I asked Patricia to check in with a person who contacted us for help with a mom who had kittens in her garage. So, I asked one of our experts to contact her. Patricia did and has kept in contact with the person. Well, it turns out there are 6 kittens, the smallest is only 10 oz. although they are supposed to be 4-5 weeks old. Patricia believes the mom did not have enough milk to feed 6 kittens and that is why the kittens all seem to be too small for their age. Nonetheless, Patricia feels the kittens are healthy. They all got baths and deworming and are safe and warm with Patricia. If anyone is interested in Susie Q, her babies, or any of these babies, you should contact Patricia at: [email protected] 4 Paws 1 Heart will again be backing all of the basic medical needs prior to adoption. Thank you to our many friends for all of your support. – diana

Mama Susie Q’s Babies
5/14/20 – Tony and I bought this playpen for 4p1h’s good friend, Patricia, who as you’ve seen takes in many mamas and kitties. A couple of weeks ago I posted about Mama Susie Q, who Patricia took in and who shortly after had 5 babies. The babies are 3 weeks old now and wearing out mama so that is where the value of the playpen comes in. Now Mama Susie Q can rest a bit while the kids safely play. All of these sweeties will be medically backed by 4 paws 1 heart. It truly takes a Village. – diana

Buster – Found on the Side of the Road
5/13/20 – Buster was found on the side of the road in a very dangerous area. He was taken in by Hear My Cry Rescue & Outreach who reached out to us for help. Buster is scheduled for his neuter, vaccines, and testing this week. And the good news is that once this is all done, complements of our supporters, Buster may have a furever home. Theresa, who is with the rescue, tells us that they are being inundated with dogs found on the streets – abandoned and abused. Here is the only photo they had of Buster when they reached out to us for help. – diana
