7/8/20 – RIP Milo. For 17 years Milo has been a stray cat being cared for by a very kind woman who had also cared for his mom and siblings. A little while back we helped Milo be treated for an infected leg. But yesterday he was allowed to cross the Rainbow Bridge and meet up with his mom and siblings. Milo hadn’t been eating well for a number of weeks and could no longer stand for any period or be able to defend himself in the wild. His last sibling, Simba, will surely miss him. Again, I say, may God bless those who help the most vulnerable. – diana

7/6/20 – Update on Silvester who had an eye removed last week. She is home and her spirits are good. Here is a message from her rescuer, Danielle:

7/2/20: “Silvester had her eye removal surgery yesterday and the vet called me last night to let me know everything went well and she was just starting to wake up. I have to call this morning at 8am to see if she gets to come home today (fingers crossed).
I strongly feel she was either trapped somewhere or someone had her inside because I never went more then a day or two without seeing her for 2 years. Come March and we just completely stopped seeing her. I went out and searched for her everyday, sometimes several times a day. I never gave up hope I would see her again. I knew immediately when I saw her and said “Silvester” and she looked at me and gave me the biggest meow while running towards me. That’s when I noticed her eye, it looked awful and I knew it wasn’t good.
I couldn’t have done this without the support of 4 Paws 1 Heart. They didn’t even hesitate to help me and I had promised Silvester she would never be going back outside again!! I’ve already managed to put some pounds back on her, she loves her soft food and kitty treats and I know within time I will have the weight put back on her (we used to joke that if we didn’t know that she had been fixed, we would have thought she was pregnant because she was so chubby but I had TNR’d her so we knew she wasn’t pregnant, she was just chubby from all of her special feedings).
The way she ran to me, it’s almost like she knew she needed help and she found me. She knew I wouldn’t turn my back on her no matter what!!
Before her TNR we thought she was a he and that’s how she got her name. When she went in for her TNR we were surprised that he was actually a she but she already knew her name so it’s always stuck with her.
Thank you everyone for all your prayers and again the biggest thank you goes to Diana and 4 Paws 1 Heart.”

7/2/20 – Can you imagine being stuck in a chimney for 10 days without food or water? Well, unfortunately, this is exactly what Bentley faced. The homeowners, every so often, would hear a ‘meow’ but couldn’t find anything. Our friends, Jo and Debbie, were called over and they tracked it down to the chimney. Upon looking up the chimney, they found a pillow had been put up there. When the pillow was removed, scared and emaciated little Bentley was found. After he was able to decompress and gain a little weight, our friends brought him to the vet where he was neutered and vaccinated. He’s now doing great but a little shy still from his ordeal. He is very sweet, cuddly, and purrs away when you hold him. Bentley is looking for his forever home. Anyone interested should contact Jo at: [email protected] It truly takes a village. – diana

6/30/20 – Meet Star and Jet. These kittens were rescued by a great Sterling Heights animal control officer who asked if we would sponsor medical care if she could find placement. Of course we said yes and these babies received their wellness check, vaccines, snap test, and treatment for any parasites.
