9/10/16 – Kimba is a sweet kitten who was rescued in a barn. She will be spayed on September 29 and should be close to looking for her forever home. Please contact Roberta ([email protected]) if you are interested in this little beauty.
9/9/16 – Isabella Skye was rescued at just 3 weeks old. The rescuer is training her to be a service dog and needed help getting Isabella the rest of her vaccinations, which we were happy to do. We wish sweet Isabella Skye the very best. ~ diana
9/7/16 – It was August 1 when we were first contacted about this sweet girl who found her way to the porch of a very caring family 3 weeks prior. The family had been providing food and water when one day, Mocha Latte walked through the door when the dog was let out. Everyone fell in love with her and decided that they would provide her a forever home. 4 Paws 1 Heart agreed to pay for her spay and vaccinations only to find out she was pregnant. Everything was going well until an abscess was found on Mocha’s chin along with some other cuts around her neck. Once again, we came through and had Mocha seen by the doctor. Well, the other day, I received this e-mail from Mocha Latte’s mom:
“Mocha did great through her labor and delivery. Her labor started at 5 p.m. and her last baby was born at 8:08 p.m. Mama stayed with her babies all night until she got up to eat at 7 am the next morning. Before her first kitten was born she did push out a sac that had just a blob and placenta in it. I’ve never seen that with a cat before during delivery. I am not sure if it was an undeveloped kitten that never even formed or what but before I could figure it out she ate it. (I wanted to throw up) She wouldn’t let me leave her side. Every time I tried to get up she would stop pushing and try to follow me so I had to strap in for the ride. She did beautifully. Her motherly instincts kicked in from the moment she went into labor. My Fur-daughter is a trooper, and my 2 new grand-fur-babies are strong criers, but healthy so far and doing good. I will keep you updated as things move along. Thank you again for helping us with this beautiful little girl. She is the 3rd child I have always wanted, but unfortunately my body couldn’t give me. I am a happy worried new mommie again, and now grandmommie. – Brandy””
9/6/16 – This is Morrisy. Again we were contacted by our friend who does outreach near the City of Detroit. This sweet boy is taken care of by a group of senior citizens who live in an apartment complex. They love Morrisy and one day saw that he was just laying around and not moving. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for Morrisy to be seen by a vet and tested. No injuries or illnesses could be found and Morrisy was neutered and vaccinated. He is back with his senior citizens who will continue to watch over him but they are concerned someone is trying to hurt him. I’ve asked our friend if Morrisy could possibly be taken in and become an ‘apartment mascot’. I’m not sure how feral he is. It’s such a tough world for the many cats and dogs who are on the streets and not in comfy, loving homes like are babies.

My Wish for Labor Day is to have a home…
I’m getting big and strong, but I need a family to call my own.
I’m a boy, 20 pounds, about 14 weeks old, pit bull mix, and ALL PUPPY. If you would like more information about me please email [email protected].
9/5/16 – As an organization whose mission is to reduce the overwhelming number of unwanted animals by providing medical treatment to abandoned and stray animals, we can’t always dictate where the animal goes; our focus always comes down to making sure an animal has been spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Very often, because of our network, we can do more. But, that is not always the case. Every time a cat is spayed, the possibility of hundreds of cats being born is taken away.
We received a call from a follower who we’ve helped a number of times in the past. She does outreach in the City of Detroit. In her work, she came across these three animals who are “indoor/outdoor” cats being cared for by a kind woman. You and I may not think this is the best environment for these beauties but we just have to be satisfied that because of our friend who does outreach and the donations we receive, we can at least make sure these babies will not multiply and are vaccinated. ~ diana
9/4/16 – There is so much tough news lately and so many animals needing our help, I wanted to share this good news. When Heather contacted us, we were happy to increase Ziva’s odds for being adopted by paying for her to be spayed, tested, and vaccinated. Good Luck, sweet Ziva. ~ diana
Please share and say a prayer for little Ping. She was one of many kittens rescued from a home that was overwhelmed with cats and kittens. The kittens have been sick with coccidia which is a parasitic illness. Little Ping was the smallest of the babies taken in by our loving Board member, Dee, and her equally loving husband, Rick. ~ diana
A 4p1h follower and the creator of For the Love of Louie both contacted us to say they had seen a posting for a lost cat who looked like Ghost. I referred the information to Joe and Dana, the kind rescuers who used their own money to have a vet examine Ghost and then contacted us for additional help. Joe and Dana had searched For the Love of Louie when they found Ghost but didn’t find anything. Upon getting the information forwarded, Joe contacted the poster and it was determined that Ghost was, in fact, the lost cat. Once again, I want to thank Joe and Dana for their huge hearts. Because of them, Ghost did not die a lonely and horrible death on the streets. RIP, Sweet Ghost. ~ diana
93/16 – RIP Sweet Ghost! – It was August 22, 2016 when a kind man found this sweet girl howling in the middle of a parking lot at his workplace. She was flea infested and skin and bones. The man couldn’t turn his back on this poor creature and he and his wife took her immediately to a vet. The vet provided some topical treatments, vaccinations, and found she was negative for felv/fiv. Because the heart beat was fast, the vet suggested further testing be done. That is when the rescuers contacted us.
Ghost was taken to one of the generous veterinary clinics who work with us and was found to be positive for a hyperthyroid. Ghost was given meds and a follow up visit was planned. Although Ghost was getting much love, she was still struggling and last night she crossed the rainbow bridge. I so wish we could have done more to save this 5 lb. baby found in the middle of a busy parking lot. But, as what happens far too many times, we have to find solace knowing that she left this world feeling love and knowing that there were good hearts trying to do everything they could to give her a second chance at life. Thank you, Joe and Dana, for doing everything you could. ~ diana
