Posted on by

Her family couldn’t take her with them and she was relegated to the basement. Today she has loving parents, a grandma who loves her, and lots of room to roam. I’m so happy we could play a role in Nala’s new journey. – diana

“Good morning Star & Twinsie!!! Are you enjoying your breakfast? We love you ❤
Good morning Team Chance! Our beautiful ferals Star & Twinsie are having their yummy breakfast, then they’ll get up on the chairs for a morning nap knowing they are safe & loved. Becuse of 4 Paws 1 Heart they were spayed and had their shots 5yrs ago and theyve lived in our yard ever since never having any babies. 5yrs ago there were more then 30 cats & litters upon litters being born on our street. Mom started trapping the kittys and with the help of 4p1h all were spayed & neutered, all of the kittens were placed in loving homes and most of the adults too! But, if that original mama cat had been spayed in the first place all those kittys would not have been born outside. Sooo spay, neuter, tnr and be kind! No kitty chooses to live a life outside, humans made that choice. Have a SuperHero kind of Thursday everybody!” ~ Chancestar and twinsie 7:20:17

Sweet Boy – We Couldn’t Save You

Posted on by

7/20/17 – RIP Sweet Boy. Our good friend, Charlotte Y., who is actively involved in TNR (trap/neuter/return) had been trying to trap this very sick boy for quite a while. She was finally able to do that last week where it was found that he had a large salivatory abscess on his chin. Not wanting to bother me during the time of my mom’s services, she paid for the vet visit where the abscess was lanced and treated but the vet warned that the abscess could return. Because this boy was very feral, he was returned to the wild after being treated. Within one week, he was again seen with another abscess. There was much concern that he would not fall for the trap again but Tuesday night he went in and was taken to emergency. Unfortunately, it was determined that humane euthanasia was the best option for this poor soul. He is no longer in pain and never has to worry about food or shelter again. ~ diana

Frankie Peanut – Found With a Broken Femur

Posted on by

7/20/17 – In the world of saving animals it takes many players, all with different roles and skills. I am thankful that over the past (almost) seven years, we have made some great friends in veterinary medicine, in trap/neuter/release, in rescues, in media, and in animal advocacy. This is Frankie Peanut who was rescued by our friends at the Ferndale Cat Shelter. He is 12 weeks old and was found with a broken femur. We are happy to be able to help with his surgery to save his leg. ~ dianafrankie peanut 7:20:17

7/19/17 – A huge thank you to our friend, Scout Austin Hammer, for conducting a bottle drive that raised $216.00 for the animals helped by 4 Paws 1 Heart. It’s because of the kind hearts of people like Austin that we are able to give so many, like this little one trapped in a garage and recently rescued, a second chance at life. It was a pleasure meeting Austin and his wonderful family at our recent Alex and Ani fundraiser.boy scout austin 7:19:17trapped in garage 7:19:17

Shania – Found in a Cat Community With an Injured Eye

Posted on by

7/18/17 – Meet Shania. She was found in a cat community be cared for by the mom of someone we’ve helped in the past. For one year Shania has been suffering from an eye injury; the veterinarian had advised that her eye needed to be removed but funds could not be found to do this. We were contacted a couple of weeks ago and, of course, agreed to pay for the eye removal which was done Saturday, July 15, 2017. Shania, is a domesticated cat, who has found her way into a forever loving home with her rescue. Shania is one of the many animals whose lives will be forever changed because of caring people and 4 Paws 1 Heart and our generous supporters. ~ diana

Remy – Rescued from the Hightway Suffering from Parvovirus

Posted on by

7/17/17 – Meet Remy. He was found roaming near an interstate highway, just a puppy. After two weeks, he became lethargic and his rescuer brought him to a vet. He tested negative for parvo and was sent home. The symptoms continued and we were contacted. We had Remy see the good doctors at Centerline Veterinary and because they could not watch him overnight, he was transferred to our friends at Advanced Animal Emergency where he continued treatment and this time was found to be positive for Parvo. Over the next few days, Remy was treated at the veterinary and watched by his loving new family. This past Friday, I learned that Remy has turned the corner and it appears that he will be ok. A huge thank you to his rescuers and new family and the wonderful vets who are willing to work with us. We are very thankful we could be there for Remy. Everyone at the vet’s office has told me about what a sweetheart he is. Another life saved!! ~ dianaremy 7:12:17remy 7:17:17
