10/9/17 – Mama Nicole is still looking for her forever home or a rescue that can help find her love for the rest of her life. Her six babies are all together with our friend, Heather Stern, and are living the life until they can find their forever homes. You might remember that about 6 weeks ago I received a call from one of the veterinary clinics we work with. The manager advised that her cousin had found six 4-week old babies and a mom during a horrendous thunderstorm. The six babies were brought inside, soaked and covered with fleas. The rescuers were unable to bring mom inside though she remained on the porch crying for her babies. The next day, the mom was brought in and everyone was taken to the vet where they were tested and treated for fleas/parasites. We then found a foster who took in the family and gave them shelter, food, and love. The babies have thrived and everyone has been neutered/spayed and vaccinated. If you can help Mama Nicole, who you can see is still just a little girl, please contact Maryann at: [email protected]. If you are interested in adopting the babies, contact Heather at: [email protected]

“If you’re here looking for a pet to adopt then I feel you’re making the right decision.
A year ago in March I was on adopt a pet looking for a kitten. I had it pictured in my mind exactly what kind I wanted. The ones with the flat face and perfectly cute. Then I received an email about a kitten who had been abused and lost an eye in the process. At first I felt bad for it but still I wanted the perfect kitten. I have a disease with no cure that leaves scars. One night I started thinking about the letter and it hit me what if no one ever wanted me again because I wasn’t pretty anymore even though I do show lots of love and respect to others. Short story I wrote Stacy a letter pleading for this kitten and I got her. She is completely blind but gets around perfect and is the best pet I’ve ever had. She sleeps with me every night on the second floor she found herself. She never gets on top of the counters and plays fetch better than my two labs. She is so beautiful and for the rest of my life I’ll be adopting. She almost didn’t make it. Thank God she did. Please consider adoption and give the animal a chance.~ Barbara”

10/7/17 – Finley walked up to a home looking for help. He was filled with fleas and very emaciated. We immediately authorized for him to be seen by one of our vets. Finley needed fluids and flea treatment. Left untreated, fleas will “suck” everything out of an animal’s body. He’s been cared for by one of our dedicated rescue friends and now look at the difference. Finley will soon be ready to go to his foster. If anyone is interested in adopting this sweetie, please contact Jo at: [email protected]

10/6/17 – Lives saved with donations and support from our friends! ~ diana

“GRAPHIC: Their eyes still look bad, but believe it or not they look MUCH better and the swelling is going down! They’re purring and FINALLY eating (not on their own, but it’s still better than not at all). These little boys are so patient and sweet. I can’t wait for them to open their eyes and finally get to be happy boys. These boys are going to be VERY loving and we’ll want to keep them together. Thank you for your prayers and we’ll update you asap. Lori Shafer Diana Rascano they’re improving! – Heather”

Another happy ending 🙂 This little kitty, Rosie, was found in a cornfield up north. She was lucky to have been alive and not be prey to another animal. 4 Paws 1 heart paid for her to be fixed and fully checked out. Now Rosie is living in her forever home. Gina

I’m happy to report that Tiger is finally in her forever home. 🙂 she was initially found living in a DTE warehouse for the first six months of her life. The guys were taking care of her regularly, but she couldn’t stay. I was fostering her while she was looking for a new family. It took a few months, but here she is happy as can be 🙂 thank you all for sharing. Gina

10/4/17 – Wally showed up in Emily’s sister’s backyard. He could could fit in both hands. His leg was skinned and muscles were ripped off. He was still being weened by his mama. He was taken to a veterinary hospital where it was determined that his limb had no blood supply and would eventually fall off if not amputated. He was held in the hospital for a week and received fluids and antibiotics while waiting for surgery. Finally, his leg was amputated. Today he is doing great and looking for his forever home.

10/3/17 – Another happy update in light of the evil Las Vegas carnage of this weekend. May God Bless you little man and your family. Romeo’s story was one of the saddest. – Aunt Di

“Good morning Team Chance! Look who we heard from this morning…Romeo!!!! His mom says “Denise Najera, I think we should change his name from Romeo to Fatty!”
For those who dont know about Romeo, a couple years ago we got a call from an apartment manager who told us Romeo’s human passed away and nobody knew she had a cat until maintenance workers were working on the apartment weeks later. Romeo had crawled in a hole in the wall and been stuck in there for 2wks!!! Mom & Auntie Debra literally had to cut the wall open to get him out!!! He was emaciated, dehydrated & had given up. He was rushed to the emergency vet and thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart he was admitted twice in 2 week and recieved the life saving treatment he needed. After a few weeks at our house to heal his body & spirit he was adopted in to a wonderful loving home with Kelly and her daughter Melanie and is totally loved & spoiled ❤ Great to see you Romeo, we love you!!!! ~ Chance”
