RIP BOO

Posted on by

10/9/23 – RIP BOO – I was contacted this morning about this very sweet cat who was rescued by a former employee of a partner veterinary clinic. Unfortunately, there was nothing more that could be done for this sweetie and we were thankful to be able to help Boo cross the Rainbow Bridge and no long be in pain. Here is a note from her rescuer:

“Today Boo crossed the rainbow bridge, she was dumped in a parking lot in her carrier by her previous owners, we took her in and she was immediately attached to my daughters hip. She unfortunately was in congestive heart failure and I couldn’t be selfish anymore and had to do what was best for her. We loved her so much even if it wasn’t for as long as we hoped it would be. Thank you so much to everyone at Orion Animal Hospital for always being there for us when we need you and to 4 paws 1 heart for helping us!” – diana

BROWNIE & EDDIE HAPPY UPDATE

Posted on by

10/9/23 – On September 20 we were contacted by rescue friends about a tnr project involving some 30 cats. Although they had funding for the ‘tnr’ part, their personal funds had run out for any other medical needs required. Brownie and Eddie were two such cats who required more than just tnr. They both had eye issue and Brownie had a “huge belly”. We authorized their visit at Orion Animal Hospital and today I received the following update:

“Brownie has been on treatment for her eye and is doing well. Her eye is clearing up. Eddie went to Orion on Friday they drained his very full and infected nasal cavity and also removed an air gun pellet out of his head. He is doing better. – Rebecca” – diana

GREY GOOSE

Posted on by

10/9/23 – It all started in July. We were contacted about a ‘momma cat’ who had been showing up in a colony cared for by a liquor store owner. The caretaker, with the help of Milad, had been trying to TNR Grey Goose for a long while but she was just too savvy to the trap. But then she started showing up looking weak, losing fur, and losing weight. They were finally able to trap her and the journey began. After a number of tests and vet visits, Grey Goose was found to have Giardia and was treated accordingly. This past weekend I received the following update from Milad:

“I’m thrilled to share a heartwarming update about Grey Goose’s incredible journey. Thanks to the unwavering support of 4 Paws 1 Heart, Grey Goose has transformed into her vibrant and healthy self. After enduring over eight years outdoors in Detroit, she was ready to close that chapter and embark on a new adventure. With comprehensive veterinary care, including her spay procedure, all made possible by your kindness, she has secured a cherished spot at Focus on Feral’s cat sanctuary in Grand Rapids! Your involvement has been instrumental in making this journey possible, as she traversed the state to find her new home. Witness her thriving in her new environment, surrounded by new feline friends, in the heartwarming picture below!”

It’s updates like this that makes it all worthwhile. We may not be able to save them all, but because of the generosity of our donors and our veterinary partners, thousands of stray animals have been given a second chance at life and thousands more have been saved from being born and living and dying on the streets. A huge thank you to the rescuers and those who never turn their backs on an animal in need. – diana

RIP SCAR

Posted on by

10/7/23 – One of many left behind in a mobile home park. He had been TNR’d and cared for by residents of the community. We were asked to assist with what seemed to be overgrown claws and possible dental issues. When taken to our partner veterinary clinic, Scar was found to have a huge mass (possibly cancerous) so large it affected his spine and possibly his walking ability. He was estimated to be 18 years old. It was decided to let him peacefully cross the Rainbow Bridge. – diana

2.0

Posted on by

10/7/23 – On September 6, 2.0 showed up on a porch with a “huge open wound” at the base of his tail. His finder noticed that he had been TNR’d and he seemed very friendly. She could also see that he had parasites. 2.0 was quickly seen by one of our partner veterinarians. His wound was treated and he was given antibiotics and pain medication. He was also tested and later treated for parasites. He tested negative for fiv/felv. Fortunately, there was no damage to his tail. His finder, Luci, reported yesterday that 2.0 is now an inside cat and living happily with her mom and her mom’s fur family. Little 2.0 is the tiniest of the bunch and he is living a life of love and safety. – diana
