Lucy Lu – Rescued Before Being Taken to a High-Kill Shelter by Her Owners

Posted on by

1/26/18 – Lucy Lu was an intact female whose owners also owned an intact male. After Lucy had kittens, the owners didn’t want her any more and were going to take her to a shelter. Fortunately, Cortney heard of the situation and had the owner surrender Lucy to her and then she contacted 4 Paws 1 Heart. Poor little Lucy was emaciated and flea infested. Once again we were thrilled to save another life; Lucy was spayed, vaccinated, and treated for fleas. She had another visit with the vet just this past week to get further treatment but the doctor said she is doing great. Anyone interested in sweet Lucy should contact Cortney at: [email protected] ~ diana

Cee Cee – Abandoned by her Owners; Found Pregnant in the Brutal Cold

Posted on by

1/25/18 – CeeCee was abandoned by her owners about a year ago. A neighbor has been feeding her since but recently noticed she looked pregnant. The kind person couldn’t stand the thought of a 9 lb. baby having kittens in these below- freezing temperatures and contacted our friend, Rachel G. Rachel G. contacted me to see if we could assist. Of course we did. CeeCee was able to get into the vet yesterday and was found to be about two weeks away from having 4 kittens!! Can you imagine if these little babies would have been born in this cold? Chances are that everyone would have died. CeeCee is now in a foster home — safe and warm. She will be under Ferndale Cat Shelter who will eventually find everyone their forever homes. God Bless the rescuers. ~ dianaceecee 1:25:18

Katniss – Looking Back

Posted on by

1/22/16 – She was stuffed in a carrier half the size of what she needed. She was put out at the curb during a rain storm like garbage. We have no idea how long this sweetheart was there at the curb or kept in that carrier but a kind woman in a u-haul, on her way to another State, noticed her and brought her to the Emergency. She was kept somewhere, long enough, without food, that she felt the need to eat the items in the carrier. After being rescued, emaciated and wet, she had emergency surgery where much fabric and other articles were found. I have literally never seen an animal so broken and despondent. I couldn’t help but cry and pray that we could some how make her whole again. Her eyes were so vacant and her spine was curved because of too many days in a small carrier. With 4 Paws 1 Heart $, the professional staff at the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center, Gina’s love, and the care and training provided by our good friend, Carrie, of Lil’ Dogs Resort, I again present to you, Katniss Everdeen — forever loved. Happy Friday morning! This is how your donations make miracles happen ~ diana

Buddy – Rescued in 2017 is now Mr. February, 2018

Posted on by

1/22/18 – Buddy is Mr. February in the 4 Paws 1 Heart 2018 Calendar. ~ diana

1/20/17 – This handsome guy was found wandering the streets. We were contacted by a rescue friend who asked if we could help the nice couple who found him. Ofcourse, we did and Buddy was taken to the veterinary to be scanned for a microchip, vaccinated and scheduled for neutering. Although very sweet and obviously welcoming human contact and love, no microchip could be found. Buddy has found his forever home with this loving couple known by our rescue friend and we are so happy we could help in their endeavor to give Buddy a second chance at life. ~ dianabuddy 1:20:17buddy 2017buddy 1:20:17==

Simon – Unable to Walk; Found on the Side of the Road

Posted on by

1/21/18 – Simon was rescued from the side of the road. The person who rescued him decided to throw him back outside because he couldn’t get to the litter box fast enough and urinated on the floor. You see, he couldn’t use his legs!! When we were first called, I thought it was his back legs but the reality is that all 4 of his legs have weak muscles. Simon saw Dr. Kern ofPawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets this past week and she advised that it was ok to have Simon neutered and she also said she would like to work with him in hopes of helping him walk again. He is a very loving kitty and I just can’t imagine how he survived being thrown out twice by his rescuer and, only God knows, how he wound up on the side of the road and how long he was out there. Simon is scheduled to see Dr. Kern again and we will continue to report on his progress as we have with all of our long-term cases. I am just thankful that we have such loyal financial supporters and a phenomenal network of people always willing to step up to help the homeless and abused. ~ dianasimon 1:21:18

Damian – A Skin Allergy and Ear Infection Almost Resulted in Him Going to a High-Kill Shelter

Posted on by

1/19/18 – Meet Damian. He was taken to the veterinary clinic to be euthanized because his ears kept getting infected. He is only two years old. The caring veterinarian refused to do that and asked the owners to surrender Damian to the hospital; which they did. The doctor determined that Damian has a food allergy and can only eat kangaroo based food, which is quite expensive. The doctor placed tubes in Damian’s ears with medication and he has not had an ear ache since. Damian is now in foster and if you are interested, please check out the Make A Difference Animal Rescue website. Prayers that this sweet boy finds his forever loving home. ~ diana
