11/21/17 – I continue to give thanks to the many individuals who provide shelter and food to cat communities and, in the process, often find kittens who can be socialized and made healthy with the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart. Thank you to Brooke Comfort with Snow Cat II, Debra Berloatti with Casey, Rosie with Rachel Gerstner, Hope with Hope Wilson and Blackie with Kathy.

11/20/17 – During this week of giving Thanks I would like to sincerely thank all of those who literally save the lives of animals who have been abandoned and abused. Very often they put their own lives on the line and if not their lives, their time, their money, their hearts. One such group is from Jackson, MI, Saved by Zade. I believe I reported on this very moving rescue when we were first contacted. A mom and 4 kittens, who had obviously been in someone’s home, had been found on the side of a river near a park and a fishing bridge. One kitten was covered in maggots and he eventually died, but not before the wonderful rescuers were able to bathe him and love him. He died in one of their arms. Another kitten, Helen, needed both eyes removed immediately and an amazing doctor at Snow Animal Health Care did this for free. Two other kittens needed eye removal; and we committed to helping with this surgery when the time came. They had their surgeries two weeks ago and are doing great.
As winter approaches, please say a little prayer each night for all of these animals who have either been born in the wild or who have been thrown out by their owners. And, please, do whatever you can to be a part of the solution – rescue, donate, foster, adopt. Thanks, diana

11/17/17 – An update from Chance’s rescuer, Cortney.

“It’s coming to be time for Chance’s checkup, just a recap for those that may have missed it, Chance had her liver enzymes retested at our last appointment, they were still elevated, she was also given an ultrasound to see if she was spayed. She is not spayed. However, her body is not stable enough to undergo surgery until her liver enzymes have decreased. She is fattening up and playing like a champ. In order to get her to the vet for a recheck we NEED donations to be directly donated to 4 Paws 1 Heart and note that it is for Chance. This organization does more than enough for everyone in my position that is trying to independently save animals without the proper resources. Tax time is coming around and your donations to 4 Paws 1 Heart IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE! We need your help to get Chance healthy! Look at her! She wants to live! – Cortney”
