12/9/13 – TIKI – Here is the most recent photo of Tiki who was found stuck in a tiki torch for 2 days. He is doing wonderfully, and I am going to make arrangements with his family to get his testing done now that he is old enough so that we can do feluk/fiv testing. ~ Gina

Snickers Update
On Giving Tuesday, people are asked to support the charities whom which they share a common interest. For all of my friends and family who appreciate the love of a cat and/or a dog and want to make a difference in the lives of the many who are abandoned and abused, I ask you to take the time today to donate whatever you may be able to afford. With the exception of one telephone bill, all dollars donated go directly to the medical needs of the animal. Please help us to create more Happy Beginnings as in the case of our Snickers. You can donate using paypal on our facebook page or website (www.4paws1heart.org) or by mail at P.O. Box 84, St.Clair Shores, MI 48080
Thank YOU. ~ diana
Dewey in his New Home
11/30/13 – Here is Dewey in his new home. I miss him something terrible! He will be so loved and spoiled:) Thank You to everyone who prayed for him, donated dollars for his surgery, and were interested in taking him into your home. As all of you know there were many days when I thought he wouldn’t make it. I love this little fighter and very happy that his new owners will soon be living near all of us and will keep us updated. ~ gina

My blind cat Keller had his stitches removed this evening at the emergency clinic that treated him for the bad reaction he had from his surgery two weeks ago at another vet’s office. I am happy to report that the vet tonight said he looks great and does not think he suffered any permanent neurological injury from that unfortunate incident. A big thanks to Gina DeLuca and Dr. Matt at the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center in Harper Woods for all their help and expertise for my sweet Keller.

Little Spooky is Waiting for Your Calls
Even after being on TV our little Spooky still hasn’t gotten any calls. We did have a few interested adopters but because they already have cats and dogs, we believed it wouldn’t be a good fit. Spooky likes to steal the love and attention and doesn’t want to share it. If there is somebody out there who would like to have one totally devoted kitty, please contact me at [email protected]
Animal Warriors
ANIMAL WARRIORS – We have been receiving many requests from individual rescuers who are now seeing cats and kittens show up on their porches needing help. Our 4P1H friend, Susan, contacted us about this little guy. Here’s her message:
“A male cat, un-neutered, has been hanging out at a friend’s house since August. He’s getting fed and has shelter. But now he is hurt, holding up a front leg. He broke my heart when I saw him earlier. He is not feral, and came up to me, I’ll send you a pic. I have an older, crabby male cat, so I cannot keep him. My friend has a male cat and cannot afford to take care of this hurt boy. Can you help this baby out?” – Susan
This sweet boy was brought into the Emergency, was x-rayed, tested and neutered. His leg had no breaks or sprains but his paw had some superficial burns on it which may have caused the limp. It also turned out that he tested positive for FIV which is not a death sentence but will require some special needs. For this reason, he was not vaccinated at this time. Susan and her family will work to find this handsome feline a forever home. ~ diana
