1/14/18 – Retro Sunday – This is Jack and Toby. Jack was fortunately enough to show up one day at a very loving couple’s home. He had one eye and they didn’t know what to do. You can read his story on our website (4paws1heart.org). We were contacted and we made arrangements for sweet Jack to be treated. We are so thankful that his mom and dad continue to keep us updated about this handsome guy — last year he was in our 2017 calendar. Even though we may not be able to save them all, the reality is that without 4 Paws 1 Heart over 4,500 animals may not have lived to see another day. Thank You to the rescuers, the fosters, the adopters, and our donors. ~ diana

Chelsea – RIP — You Just Couldn’t Survive a Serious Infection and a Broken Leg
1/14/18 – RIP Sweet Chelsea — You didn’t die without being loved. With a very sad heart I want to recognize this sweet little girl who showed up in an apartment building needing help. Her leg bone was totally exposed and she was unable to walk on it. We were contacted by a resident who had hoped it was just a serious infection. We authorized Chelsea to be seen by a doctor. Sadly, we were unable to save her. It is thought that she was severely injured by being hit by a car. She is now running free without pain, without freezing temperatures, and with plenty of food. ~ diana
Soup – A Look Back in Time
1/13/18 – An oldie by a goodie. Our boy, Soup. It was four years ago when Soup was brought into the emergency where Gina worked. He spent 12 weeks in a crate (with Chance’s mom) while he recovered from a broken Pelvis. Then, he spent almost a year with Gina DeLuca while she tried to find the purrfect family. And, as Gina does so often, she did find that purrfect family MaryBeth Walsh Victor. Can you just imagine the horror of having your pelvis broken, your head stuck in a can, and lying helpless in the cold? ~ diana
“Remember Soup? He was found with his head stuck in a soup can? The shaved area on his hind end was because another animal crushed his pelvis. Unable to defend himself, he cried and crawled until someone heard him and contacted us for help. I took him home to recover from his shattered pelvis (12 weeks to officially heal), and this December made one year fostering him. Longest foster ever in my home. I’m very happy to report that Soup will be going to his forever home this Friday. I will miss him dearly, but this family is wonderful for him! They are perfect, he is perfect, and he will get the love and attention he deserves. We are so blessed to have given him a 2nd chance especially after being found on the street unable to walk.. Gina, 2015

Twyla – Honoring Law Enforcement Men and Women
1/9/18 – In honor of National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, I thought it appropriate to share Twyla’s story (she was saved by a police officer) once again with you. Every day there are caring police officers who not only protect the citizens of their communities, but will not turn their back when they see an animal in need. In St. Clair Shores, we have a very caring officer, Sgt. Eidt, who is a member of our Animal Care and Welfare Committee. Every night when she is on duty she keeps her eyes out for animals in trouble and works hard to educate and protect. In our Michigan State Police, there is Trooper Kuhn, who, with his partner, saved Joy (see our website for her story). I’m sure that our many supporters know of an officer in their community; if you do, please share on this post. Again, a huge thank you to the men and women serving our communities to protect humans and animals.
Please share Twyla’s store and help us find our little Twyla her forever home. – May God Bless and watch over our Laws Enforcement Officers and their families. ~ diana
“Hey Facebook Land, it’s me…Twyla! As you can see, I’m absolutely purrrfect in every way. I was rescued from the streets by a super nice Police Officer when Iwalked right up to her squad car asking for help, well…to serve & protect…right?
Right! She scooped me up and took me to my foster mommy’s house to rest, put on some much needed weight, and she even donated to 4 Paws 1 Heart to help with my spay, shots & snap test. So now I’m spayed, tested neg & happy & healthy, all ready for my forever home!!! I’m approx 15mo old, very playful, very talkative. Love my food & my toys, and I’m housed with other kitty’s & 2 doggys, so I get along with others but also would be quite content being the only princess of your palace! If you want to know more about all my perfection then send my foster mommy an email with your phone # to [email protected] By the way I’m located in Clinton Township…Where they have the bestest kitty saving Police Officers!

Chester, Reggie, Mel, Lucky, Betty, and Logan – All Found in Dangerous Situations But Made Adoptable Through the Help of 4p1h
1/9/18 – More of the very sweet cats who were rescued from the street or in ‘feral’ cat communities. As always, thank you to our supporters and to those many individuals who see an animal in danger and respond. Here is Chester, Reggie, Mel, Lucky, Betty, and Logan. Remember that we offer to place all animals, who we’ve helped with medical, on our Petfinder site and our Friends of 4 Paws 1 Heart page. Those animals who require forever homes are posted there if the rescuer wishes but in many cases, the rescuer either provides their own permanent loving home or gets the animal adopted through friends. So, if you are looking for a new family member, check out those sites.
