1/27/18 – Happy Update! At about 12 weeks old, sweet emaciated Santa was found before Christmas with a severe upper respiratory infection and low body temperature. Thankfully, our great friends at Hartrick Veterinary were able to take her in as soon as she was trapped and started treatment. Then, last week, the rescuer noticed that Santa seemed to be losing some fur and it was determined she had a fungus. Again, we were happy to get Santa treated. Now look at how well ls doing. Love and medical care means everything. ~ diana

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

Simon – Unable to Walk; Found on the Side of the Road
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. ~ diana
Jack – Prayers Needed
1/20/18 – Prayers for Jack . It was just last week-end that we posted an update of our little one-eyed guy, Jack, with his ‘brother’, Toby. Shortly after I heard from the family. Jack has a virus call calicivirus, ulcers on his tongue and severe respiratory symptoms. His ‘good’ eye is swollen and he’s been licking his nose — making it raw to the point of profuse bleeding. Jack is one of those few animals that 4 Paws 1 Heart has committed to helping. He holds a special place in my heart because of what he must have gone through before he found Kelly and Dave. Jack has been treated with fluids and antibiotics and, although still ill, is being babied and much loved at home. – Diana . (p.s. Jack is on the left)
