7/30/24 – On July 24 we posted Ebony’s story. A very sweet kitty who showed up (with a playmate) at a firehouse. The organization SniP was contacted and they contacted us for assistance. Poor little Ebony had a degloved tail and need it to be amputated.
Here is the happy update received 7/29/24: “Ebony did wonderful with her tail amputation (and spay) surgery today! Darcy was extremely grateful for the financial assistance and wanted me to convey her gratitude. Thank you so much, Diana!!
Your help in this case was very much appreciated! My Deepest Gratitude, Jenny” – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
7/30/24 – On 4/17/23 we posted about sweet Bianca. She had showed up at the finder’s door at 1 a.m. Laura, Bianca’s, rescuer advised that because they live in the ‘country’ they often have animals dumped on their property. Laura and her husband took Bianca into their garage to keep her safe and asked for medical assistance. Laura was hesitant to let Bianca mingle with her pets until Bianca could be checked.
We authorized a quick appointment at Groesbeck Animal Hospital where she was tested, vaccinated for rabies, and dewormed. Later Bianca was taken to Patterson Veterinary Hospital for the remaining vaccines and spay.
Yesterday I received the following happy update: “I wanted to share some updated photos of our baby girl, Bianca. Thank you for helping with the vet costs to get her taken care of in the start. Bianca was treated well at Patterson! This beautiful girl has sooooooo much personality and has been an amazing addition to our family. She has helped mend the relationship between two of my other cats. I wanted to share how amazing she is and how great her life is thanks to you helping me keep her!
Here’s some photos of her grown up! Best wishes, Laura and Bianca Cat” – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
7/24/2024 -This beautiful boy now named Asher is recovering from Toxoplasmosis. This is the 1st case I’ve ever seen.
He was found dragging his rear legs and unable to urinate. His rescuer reached out to us for help almost 2 weeks ago. She was able to get his initial care covered with donations which really helped to get his treatment started. To keep cost down he was treated based on symptoms. However, the doctors feel certain he was positive based on lab work and his response to treatment.
On July 12th I was able to get him in over at Moore Veterinary Hospital for continued care and today his rescuer said he is urinating and now able to walk on his own! His last dose of meds is tomorrow and we will then help get his vaccines started. Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
7/24/24 – These 5 beauties showed up in a colony where the caregiver believed everyone had been spayed/neutered.
They will start their vetting with vaccinations and deworming at All About Animals in Auburn Hills and we are happy to help.
Understanding the state of our economy, donations have been slow and fundraisers have been few — although look to Fall for a couple of fundraisers that are being planned at this time — but in the mean time, anything you can afford will help make a difference.
Anyone interested in adopting these babies, please contact Bonnie at: [email protected] – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
7/24/24 – These two beauties, Ebony, and sibling were ‘dropped off’ at a fire station in St. Joseph, MI. There was a call out for help and a good Samaritan stepped up to take the kitties in — not knowing the one, Ebony, had a degloved tail. The organization SNIP contacted us to see if we could cover the tail amputation surgery and, fortunately, the cost of the surgery was very reasonable and we were able to cover it. The surgery is scheduled for Monday, July 29, so keep Ebony in your prayers. SNIP has provided vouchers to cover the spay/neuter and vaccines. Once again a Village of Caring Individuals come together to make a difference! – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
7/23/24 – Abe was brought to our attention around the Memorial Day holiday. He showed up at a home very much beaten up with open wounds and suffering from infections. Because we didn’t have any partner veterinary clinics in this area of Michigan, we did pay for Abe to be seen and receive some treatment. I’ve attempted to find out what happened with Abe, but, unfortunately without success. Although, the family did say they would be giving him a furever home. Still, we want to make sure our supporters have some idea as to the many animals we assist. – diana https://4paws1heart.org.donations.
7/22/24 – In June. 27 we posted about a very sweet cat who showed up at an apartment complex. Fortunately, a very kind man was worried about her and took her in to try and get her help. We approved Patches’ visit to Five Mile Animal Hospital where it was confirmed that she was pregnant. Dr. Mina examined her and sent her home with instructions for her care. This weekend her rescuer, Brian, sent me an update. Patches had her babies — 3 beauties — all healthy. Momma Patches is nursing and this family couldn’t be cuter and when old enough will be looking for their furever families. Patches will have a permanent home with Brian, her rescuer. If needed, 4 paws 1 heart will be there for the babies when the time comes. – diana

7/20/24 – On July 17 we asked for prayer for sweet Lincoln. He had been stuck in a fence which eventually had to be cut in order to free him. His tail was totally covered with maggots and it was already dying; his leg was broken. But the veterinary technician who had been contacted had hope and although we continue to be tight on funds, we wanted to give this kitten a chance. Lincoln was taken to one of our partner vets and saw a wonderful doctor who has helped us on many occasions. She worked for quite some time on little Lincoln and amputated his leg and tail. Everyone thought Lincoln would recover but, sadly, the following day he passed away. I spoke with the doctor yesterday who was extremely saddened when she heard the news from the veterinary technician whom the doctor knew very well. And, because of our long-term relationship with the hospital. the doctor generously covered the cost of the surgeries. Rest in Heaven, Sweet Lincoln. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
7/18/24 – This sweet baby, less than 1.6 lbs showed up at ‘grandpa’s house’. He was so sweet that grandpa’s daughter and grandson wanted to take him in and give him a permanent home. Unfortunately, his eyes were closed and the family was unable to cover any medical treatment for him. Grandpa names him Bubba. We were contacted and Bubba was seen at Orion Animal Hospital where he was found to have an upper respiratory infection. He received treatment for that and will have a follow up appointment for, hopefully, his vaccines. If he weighs enough he will be neutered; if not, that will be scheduled. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
