IZZY – Baby Steps


2/1/5 IZZY UPDATE.. I don’t have a photo to post, but Izzy is taking a turn for the better tonight. His congestion is draining better, and we are able to syringe feed now. We still have him on IV antibiotics and fluids along with nebulizing treatments. Your prayers seem to be helping, so keep paws crossed. Huge thanks to the saviors this weekend at the “Animal Urgent and critical care center” ER! ♡♡♡♡ Thank you, Gina

SMOKEY – From a Trash Bin to a Loving Home

2/1/15 – A Happy, Snowy Sunday Update: You may remember our little Smokey, seen here when he was first rescued this past summer. All of his medical needs were taken care of by 4 Paws 1 Heart. He was found in a large trash bin with his five siblings and his mom, Ashley. All of the children have now found their furever homes but sweet Ashley is still looking. Good Luck, Little Guy. Thank God for the rescuer who contacted all of us after finding the family thrown away like trash. ~ diana10389550_900075583358074_9154062747356093955_n 10968531_900075733358059_2109015507162228731_n

IZZY – One Day at a Time

1/31/15 – izzy1:31:15Izzy is still very sick.. The biggest problem right now is there are several ulcers inside of his mouth and on his tongue making it nearly impossible to swallow food. We may need to have a feeding tube placed. The animal urgent care staff is working hard to keep his drainage clean and medicate him throughout the day and night. Paws Crossed! ♡ gina

GYPSY – Left Behind by Her Owners

1/30/15 – Gypsy — She was hanging around an abandoned house and the neighbor was feeding her. Because the neighbor has dogs, Gypsy was afraid to come and eat there so the neighbor was feeding her at the abandoned house. The poor baby had no shelter. Our friend Jo A. has found a foster and Gypsy will be taken to the vet compliments of 4 Paws 1 Heart. Anyone interested should contact Jo at [email protected] ~ dianagypsy-joaddington1:29:15

Izzy – Fighting For His Life

izzy1:30:151/30/15 – Quick update on the very sick stray kitty we are calling “Izzy”. This photo was taken a few hours ago. He was a tiny bit better today, but still very congested. We have him on IV fluids/meds, and tonight we began nebulizing treatments.His tongue is covered in ulcers that are infected. We will take things one day at a time and as long as he keeps making baby steps of improvement I’m happy! He reminds me of the famous “Snickers”! Gina

Cheddar – Another Baby Saved and Loved

1/28/15 – cheddar1:28:15Little dollface, Cheddar. Thank You, Alyssa! ~ diana
“This is cheddar! He was a stray, we looked and looked for this sweet boys owner but no luck! We took him in and we noticed he sort of walked like a rabbit would… we were obviously concerned! 4 paws had helped us get his x-rays done and made sure he wasn’t in pain! He was born with overgrown tibias making him walk like that… today he is fixed, UTD on shots and is going to his forever home! Thankyou so much for helping this sweet boy!”

Izzy – Left Behind or Lost – Close to Death but Saved By Caring People

Izzy1:28:151/28/15 – Update on this stray kitty. He has a terrible upper respiratory infection and his right eye may have ruptured. We have him on IV fluids and IV meds. He is very congested, but stable.. We will take it one day at a time for now, and hopefully he responds to treatment. HUGE thank you to all of those that were involved in his rescue. Thank you for not leaving him under the porch or letting him suffer longer than he already was. With his condition he probably wouldn’t have survived much longer.. Gina

“Received urgent message from good friend and animal lover Maureen Demers about this poor injured kitty under her nieces porch. Called Diana Rascano, President of 4 Paws 1 Heart who immediately arranged for him to be seen at Animal Urgent and Critical Care where he is on his way to now and will be seen by the amazing Gina DeLuca. Sounds like he has a lot of injuries, praying this very friendly and sweet boy makes it. Thankyou 4 Paws 1 Heart for always being there to help these injured animals and thankyou Maureen and your niece Shelly for your kind hearts in helping and transporting this boy. Will update when I know more. Please keep him in your prayers ~ Denise Najera”
