$2500 CHRISTMAS MATCH BEGINS DECEMBER 4, 2023

12/1/23 – Yes, another generous supporter who does this annually contacted us to say it is time to raise more money for all of those stray and abandoned animals needing our help. The donor will match total donations made between December 4 and December 18 up to $2,500. 99.99% of all donations are spent on the medical needs of animals like Bosco and only YOU can give them that second chance at life.

I was contacted yesterday by Make a Difference Rescue. They had been contacted about two dogs needing to be surrendered but by the time the rescue got there, the people had let them out and one of the dogs got hit by a car and killed. The rescue was able to save the second dog and took care of the immediate medical needs but yesterday we were asked to help with the basic medical which included vaccines and neuter for Bosco. I’m sorry I don’t know which of these dogs is Bosco but I will get more information later and post an updated photo. – diana

MEET SWEET SHEILA – AND TIMMY

Her mom is a feral cat that had 2 kittens born outside. Her rescuer, Amy, contacted 4 Paws 1 Heart a few months ago needing help with vetting for the babies. We offered to pay for vaccines, spaying and neutering. Sheila was seen by Dr Burcham this week and she checked out healthy so now we can schedule her surgery. Isn’t she adorable? Thank you Amy for saving her and her brother Timmy! Gina

HELP FIND SOUP

11/28/23 – Why is Soup so important to us??? Because in 2014, Soup was found on a lawn with his head stuck in a soup can (read about his journey on our website). It appeared he had been attacked, possibly by an animal, while being unable to defend himself and had a broken pelvis. Chance’s mom cared for him while he healed with crate rest and when he was fully recovered he was adopted by a wonderful family who continued to stay in touch with us. Of course, we care for all lost animals but Soup is in the hearts of everyone of us. – Diana.

And, he lived with Dave and I for a year until finding a forever home. Gina

Update: Soup was last spotted on Brys near Marter in Saint Clair Shores. Please keep looking and sharing. This very special boy needs to get home to his family! Gina

Update: Caught on a ring camera on Friday, Brys and Marter. – Mary Beth

REST PEACEFULLY MR. KITTY, HE DIDN’T DIE ALONE

It was end of October when this sick, old, emaciated male cat was found after wandering into a feral cat colony. Stephanie, had been caring for the colony for years and noticed Mr Kitty was not a regular, but no one claimed him. She desperately tried to get him medical attention and she was able to get him into a low cost clinic, but because they were not a full service hospital, they were limited as to what could be done. When she reached out to 4 Paws 1 Heart, my gut feeling was that he was very critical and needed to be helped.

We made arrangements for Mr Kitty to be seen. After the exam, blood work, and x rays, it was determined that the most humane thing to do was euthanize. He was suffering. The doctor feels he had cancer throughout his body and he was unable to eat and hold it down.

Thank God he didn’t die alone from starvation on the street, and this is why we need our supporters to help us continue to help them.

Rest Peacefully Mr. Kitty

JACK & SALLY

11/27/23 – Again, Jack Skeleton and Sally were rescued in late July and mid August — all in the same area. Both were “skin and bones” when rescued. Jack was only about 6-8 weeks; Sally was a little older. They have both had blood work, vaccinated, tested, and spayed/neutered complements of our donors who make our mission possible. – diana

PLEASE REMEMBER LUCY IN YOUR PRAYERS

11/277/23 – Lucy was initially rescued from a mobile home park on July 31. At the time it was thought that she had an upper respiratory infection. Eventually, it was discovered that Lucy had a polyp in her nasal passage. Lucy had the polyp removed and was vaccinated and spayed; she tested negative for fiv and felv. Although it appeared Lucy was getting better, she started having issues again and last week she was again taken to the vet and Dr. Zalac was surprised to see that a polyp had grown back. The polyp will again be removed and we are hoping that this will be the last of Lucy”s issues in that her potential adopters are waiting for a clean bill of health before they take her into their home. Please remember Lucy in your prayers. – diana

THIS IS LB IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A VERY SWEET BOY

He’s a young adult male who was found on the street several weeks ago hungry and scared. His rescuer and Angel Char Dean opened up her heart and home to supply food and shelter. Then she reached out to 4 Paws 1 Heart for medical assistance. The wonderful staff over at Moore Veterinary Hospital were happy to help by examining LB, starting him on his vaccinations, and this pic is from last week when he had his big neuter day.

LB will be safe loved and warm this holiday. If you are looking for a very sweet boy please reach out to Char for more information. Gina
