7/31/17 – Bumper was rescued from a warehouse property. A kind man named him “Bumper” because his one eye was so bad, he kept running into things. The kind man took Bumper home and 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for the surgery to remove his eye. Bumper may have lost an eye but he gained a new loving life. ~ diana

Remy – He Almost Died From Parvo Virus
7/31/17 – Just because I have posted so many sad cases the last couple of days, I wanted to share this very happy news with you. You may remember Remy. He was found running near a major highway. He became ill, and, after a visit to the Michigan Humane Society clinic, it was suspected that he had Parvo. The family contacted us because they had already fallen in love but couldn’t afford any more medical visits. Remy was seen at Advanced Animal Emergency first who then worked with Dr. Gary at Centerline Veterinary so that Remy could be treated as outpatient. Between the very caring rescuers and the wonderful doctors who work with us, Remy is a healthy, happy, and very loved boy. Here is Remy just 24 days ago and today. He will be soon neutered and vaccinated, complements of 4 Paws 1 Heart and our generous donors. ~ diana
Baby – Could Not Survive the Ravages of an Upper Respiratory Infection
7/31/17 – RIP Sweet Baby. Our friends, Kelly Hook and Dee Dee, contacted us about 3 kittens they were able to get. They had hundreds of fleas over their entire bodies; their gums were white. Unfortunately, this sweetheart was too far gone to save. The siblings were given flea baths and appear to be doing well. Thank God for the many loving people like Kelly and Dee Dee (and their families) who give up so much of their lives and hearts to save those most vulnerable. ~ diana

Smitty – Rescued Too Late – RIP
7/31/17/17 – Far too many sick kittens on the streets — dying or losing eyes. Here is another 4-5 week old kitten found in a shelter in a caring person’s backyard. He was discovered without a mom and hasn’t been eating. He was taken to the emergency vet yesterday but, unfortunately, his illness was too far gone to make it. RIP Sweet Smitty. ~ diana
Frankfort – Rescued Too Late – RIP
7/30/17 – RIP Sweet baby. Our friend, Rachel Gerstner and I were tagged in a posting about this kitten seen lying under a box. Rachel immediately went to get him while I called Advanced Animal Emergency to authorize the medical. Unfortunately, Frankfort, (no one should die without a name) passed away on the ride to the emergency. We don’t know how many people must have passed by this little guy who was only about 8-10 weeks old but we do thank God for those who did care enough to try and get help. Unfortunately, there are far too many of these sweet animals dying and suffering. Thank You, Rachel Gerstner, for caring and giving him love at the end. ~ diana
Sweet Jack – Rescued From the Street With a Severe Eye Issue
7/30/17 – This summer has been overwhelming with the number of dogs and cats needing help. And, not just spay/neuter and vaccines. Serious issues, such as heart worm, upper respiratory infections, limb removals, eye removals. In the past seven years we have helped over 4,000 animals and just because of the “nature of the beast”, we are once again in the position of taking care of an overwhelmingly number of cats. Over the next few days, I will be sharing their stories. This is Sweet Jack. He was rescued by one of the rescue organizations with whom we work. We covered his initial vet visit where it was determined that he has extra tissue under his eye. He will be scheduled to see a specialist and we pray that we will be able to help this sweetheart. ~ diana
Karl – One of the 4 Orange Kittens Found Very Ill in a Backyard
7/29/17 – Please say a prayer for Karl. Because he is only 1.3 lbs., a standard veterinary doesn’t have the equipment needed for surgery.

Jordan – Emaciated, Dehydrated, and a Severe Upper Respiratory Infection
7/28/17 – Prayer Warriors Needed. Two-month old Jordan was rescued by our 4p1h friend, Patricia B. He was very emaciated, dehydrated, and suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection. He was brought to the emergency hospital last night where he was given IV fluids and antibiotics; his prognosis was not good. Patricia, who has a great deal of experience, chose to take Jordan home to either help him live or to let him die in a loving home. This morning Jordon is holding his own and resting comfortably. May God watch over this little one and all of the caring people we have worked with over the years, who never turn their backs. ~ diana
8/22/17 – Jordan has been gaining strength and pounds every day and is doing well.
