Twyla – She Left Healthy But Returned Very Ill
Our hearts break for what our Twyla has been through but we will always be there for her.
Hellooo Team, well Twyla had her appointment today & it took a rather unexpected turn.ets start with her injured leg. Dr. Blasses took an xray to compare to the xrays from the emergency hospital xrays. Not much difference except her leg is swollen quite a bit more then it was then. It’s too swollen to assess her knee ligaments. So we were going to go home with pain meds cus Twyla is extremely painful and anti-inflammatory. But…because Twyla has lost close to 3lbs and is not eating on her own the Dr decided to do bloodwork. The bloodwork came back that Twyla is jaundice, likely caused from not eating properly. So now Twyla has to have a ultrasound of her liver tomorrow morning. She can’t have the anti-inflammatory because it could damage her liver, so she received antibiotics & much needed pain meds. Please keep Twyla in your prayers tomorrow that her liver is not permanently damaged. When Twyla was seen by the emergency vet @4 Paws 1 Heart covered her medical which was over $400.00. Today she had exam, xray, full blood panel & meds. Tomorrow she will have an ultrasound and we don’t know what else will be needed until we get the results of that. No matter what, 4 Paws 1 Heart is committed to making sure Twyla receives the medical care she needs, this is where your donations mean so much. If you would like to donate to help with Twyla’s medical it would be so appreciated. We will keep you posted. Twyla is now on a/d food for urgent care and mom’s going to go get some food into her tummy

Gabby – Found in a Cat Community With a Slanted Jaw
2/6//18 – This very sweet girl was found in a feral community. The caretaker rescued her and had her vaccinated, tested, and spayed but it was found that she has a slanted jaw and an underbite which would be problematic as she aged. Already, her baby teeth were causing problems with her adult teeth that are now coming in. A rescue group has agreed to find Gabby a home if we would cover her oral medical — which we did. All of these animals would not have a chance without the support of our friends. ~ diana
Simon and Bob – One is Unable to Walk/Stand and the Other Emaciated and Very Ill
2/5/18 – Welcome to the first full week of February. Although most of us in Southeastern Michigan are once again dealing with about 3 – 5 inches of snow, I wanted to share this happy update to begin your week on a happy note.
Hopefully, you will remember our Simon. I was called during the evening of an 8″ snowstorm. The caller advised that a cat who his mom had been harboring in her rented room, kept being thrown outside by the landlord. And, the cat could not use his back legs. Well, with the help of the caller and our friend, Jo A., Simon was brought to safety and 4 Paws 1 Heart committed to doing whatever we could to give Simon a life he deserved. He has recently been seen by Dr. Kern of Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets and has been given exercises to do at home and a therapy plan has been developed. It turns out that poor Simon could not use any of his legs! But, the doctor thinks that with therapy, he will be able to walk again. Simon has proven to be a real love bug and enjoys living with some of his new buddies. The GREAT NEWS — SIMON actually stood on all four legs for a few seconds this weekend! Can you believe it? We know we have another little fighter on our hands and we will rejoyce the day he can again walk.
On another happy note, here is Simon with his best friend, Bob. From the day Jo took in Simon, Bob and him have been inseparable. Bob is another kitty helped by 4 Paws 1 Heart and helped by Jo A. Bob was left behind by his owners. He was treated for months for diarrhea that was so bad it would just spill out of his little body. He has asthma but gets better each day. I hope seeing these photos and reading their stories lift your spirits on this cold, wintry day. And, remember, it’s only because of the generosity of our supporters, can we continue to make miracles happen. ~ dianaSimo

Skatz, Midnight, and Magnus – Their Owner was Going to Throw Them into the Woods
2/2/18 – Meet Skatz, Midnight, and Magnus. The cats had belonged to the rescuer’s neighbor’s son. He had gotten the older two (brother & sister) (Skatz and Midnight )for his girlfriend. When they broke up, neither wanted them and they were eventually tossed outside. The neighbor’s son again somehow ended up with a third cat that was eventually tossed outside too. His mother told the rescuer that her son was considering dumping them in the woods. Fortunately, we were contacted by the rescuer and we paid for the three to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and tested. They are again indoor cats who will be looking for their forever homes. ~ diana
