3/23/20 – I’ve posted about Brooke and Meadow before. This past week the rescue, Saving Cats & Kittens in Michigan, again asked for our help for Brooke:
“Brooke was seen at Veterinary Vision Center today, and they think they can reconstruct her upper eyelid that is missing by using tissue from her lower lid. Dr. Singh could do the cryogenic ablation again afterward to remove any hairs that grow back so we wouldn’t have a huge expense for that after the big surgery to save her sight. The only humane alternative is removing the eyes, and the estimate for that surgery is $600 higher than eyelid reconstruction, so after speaking with Dr. Kimmitt we think this is the best option for Brooke.
You mentioned that you could help toward the surgery, and if you are still able to do that we would be extremely grateful for your help to get this surgery for Brooke. – Debbie”

3/21/20 – Amanda was rescued by our friend Patricia B. Patricia has been trying to find a furever home for her and when she was first rescued 4 Paws 1 Heart took care of her medical needs — which most often always includes treatment for an upper respiratory infection (URI). Well, all of a sudden, Amanda’s nose started swelling (not photo). She didn’t show signs of a URI and Patricia couldn’t find in puncture holes or wounds. She worried that maybe Amanda had cancer. We paid for Amanda’s repeat visit to the doctor and she determined that Amanda had an infection most likely caused by a claw puncture. The Doctor drained the area in several spots, gave her some antibiotics and put a cone on her. Cats’ claws are like needles and you may not see a puncture would because they heal that fast.
I know this will be a tough financial time for millions of people but if you are able to donate, it would be much appreciated. The medical need will not end but will only get worse as the weather warms. Thank YOU for your support. – diana

3/19/20 – Blackster is another animal whose life will be forever changed because of our supporters. He was rescued from the streets, had all of his medical needs taken care of by 4 Paws 1 Heart and now he is living the life with a loving mom. – diana

3/17/20 – These sweeties, Scrunch and Squirt, were rescued separately but are now inseparable. Scrunch has had intestinal problems that we had to take care of a few times and both have been treated for upper respiratory infections. They received their vaccines, testing, and were spayed/neutered. The rescue family decided they couldn’t let them go. Happy Beginnings for everyone. ~ diana

3/16/20 – Ziggy had been hanging around the rescuer’s home for the last two years. The caring woman has been trying to trap him for awhile because she saw he had wounds and appeared to have an upper respiratory infection. Finally, she did it! Ziggy was taken to one of our partner doctors and was treated for the infection, and an infestation of ear mites. Once the infection is cleared, Ziggy will have his infected teeth extracted and will be neutered and vaccinated. It turns out that Ziggy loves to be petted and the rescuer has already lined up a home for him. It truly takes a village. – Diana

3/13/30 – I told you that we have many more stories to tell than days in the week. Here is Mac, Cheese, and Cookie. The rescuers tried for weeks to trap them. A kind woman fed them several times a day while they lived in the woods. But finally, at about 14 weeks, they were all captured. And, with the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart, all have been tested, vaccinated, spayed/neutered, AND, Mac and Cheese have been adopted and Cookie has been placed with a foster. Again, we thank all of the wonderful people who donate to use and the amazing people who rescue these innocent animals. May God Bless You All, especially in times like this when everything has been so intense. ~ diana

3/11/20 – Sammy showed up in a cat community being cared for by a friend. It was thought he was a feral cat and we were asked to cover his neuter and vaccines. After the surgery, it was determined that Sammy wasn’t a feral cat at all but was very friendly and affectionate. So, we paid for him to be tested. Unfortunately, after two tests, he was found to be positive for FIV. But, as you may have read in one of our earlier posts, this should never be a death knell. FIV positive cats can live long and healthy lives within a loving home environment. FIV is typically transmitted through bites and once a cat is brought inside and spayed/neutered there are much less reasons for fights. Sammy is being fostered by our friend Debra. He is about approximately 3 years old. If you are interested in giving this very loving boy a home, please contact Dee at: [email protected]
