1/10/14 – HALO Needs a Loving Home: This little guy was found in the cold on that very bad snow night last week. He has frostbite on his head and in his ear. We are treating him with antibiotics because he is also anemic. He is in a warm place with blankets and food and he is doing well. We estimate his age to be 3 to 4 years old he is orange, front declawed and he is neutered. This is one of the nicest cats I have ever seen! If you would be willing to open your heart and your home or if you’ve seen him on For the Love of Louie, please let me know by sending me an email at gina.4paws1heart ~ gina

Charlie rescued by an EMS worker
1/6/14 – This is Charlie. Charlie was rescued by an EMS worker who was responded to a call about a squatter found frozen in a vacant home. It was love at first sight and the rescuer decided to make Charlie a permanent member of his home. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for vetting, testing, and vaccines, along with other typical treatment for a cat who has been on the ‘streets’. Little Charlie will also soon be neutered compliments of our great supporters. Thank You, Jon and Family. ~ diana
Happy 2014 to all of our Friends!
Happy 2014 to all of our Friends! What better way to start the new year than to share a new photo of our little Simba. Simba was found on a construction site. He was just two days old and his mom might have been frightened off by the construction equipment. He was saved by one of the construction workers who brought the kitten to Gina and then continued to keep up with his progress. Gina fostered this baby and lived through all of the around the clock feedings until he was able to be adopted. Fortunately for all of us, our good friend and rescuer of Hercules, Matt Virgadamo, adopted our baby and has obviously taken very good care of him. ~ diana

Popper Needs a Home!
12/27/13: POPPER NEEDS A HOME! This is Popper. He was rescued by our favorite Warren Animal Control Officer, Lisa, and is now being fostered by a friend of hers. 4 Paws 1 Heart paid for all vetting, vaccines,deworming, and neutering.
He is about 6 months old, and very healthy. He is high energy, super sweet and would benefit in a home that has a playmate. He hasn’t a mean bone in his body and if anyone is interested they can contact diana@4paws1heart@gmail.co
Extensive Report on Soup
12/27/13: SOUP – Here’s a more extensive report on Soup’s condition: Soup was sedated in order to cut the can away and we noticed his tail had punctures. Upon later reviewing the Radiographs we discovered that his pelvis is broken, but it is uncertain how many areas and exactly where. He also has a dislocated femur. Now, I’ve been told different things about prognosis. This cat is literally the sweetest cat I have ever seen. He is eating, drinking, urinating, having bowl movement, etc. He can rotate from one side to the other and he rolls over on his back to have his belly rubbed. The bruising is horrendous and we suspect that he was attacked by another animal when his head was stuck and he couldn’t defend himself. We neutered him when he was sedated to remove the can (this was before we even knew about the pelvis injury) because we didn’t know about the other injuries until he was recovered and not able to walk. He was tested negative for feluk/fiv, his bloodwork full panel was normal, he was treated for roundworms, and treated for fleas. ~ Gina
Within the next day or two, Soup will be taken to OVRS to see an orthopedic specialist. Our main concern is that whatever we do, we do not want Soup to be in unnecessary pain and we want him to have a good quality of life where he can have a forever loving home. We will keep our supporters and friends updated. ~ diana
Soup
12/26/1 – SOUP: A woman called the Emergency and said she had found a cat in her yard whose head was stuck in a soup can. Fortunately, Gina was on duty and the woman was told to bring him in. Once he was brought in, the head was freed from the can, he received medication for puncture wounds, and he was neutered. After being treated for external wounds, it was determined that his pelvis was broken in three places. He was also badly bruised and It appeared that while he was defenseless, because of being stuck in the soup can, he may have been hit by a car or had been attacked by another animal. His personality is super sweet and lovable and we are determined to find him a loving, forever home.
Soup will need a home which can provide him a crate where he can maintain little movement while his pelvis heals. He will need two months of TLC but, to the right parents, it will be worth it. Let Gina know if you think you can help our little guy—he’s been through a lot. gina.4paws1heart@gmail.com
