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.

11/14/13 – Bobby was one of three kittens roaming by themselves on the streets until a good Samaritan rescued them and brought them into the Emergency. 4 Paws 1 Heart took care of all of their medical needs because that’s what we do. Here is our Bobby with his new BFF in his loving, forever home. Isn’t he handsome and looking very loved and well taken care of? ~ Gina

Here is our Dewey with co-worker Nicole. As you can see he loves to be held and loved. His condition has not gotten worse, but Dewey might have some permanent/lingering damage do to his congenital issues. He is a little unsteady on his feet and still healing. We don’t know what to expect long term but he is an amazing little fella with a lot of love to give. I have narrowed the potential homes down to one very fitting family for Dewey based on his needs. They have no other pets and they can focus on him only for now. After all that he has been through we have paws crossed that the worst is over and he will hopefully live a long happy life with no more surprises! We’ll keep everyone informed. ~ gina

ANNOUNCEMENT: 4 Paws 1 Heart is pleased to announce our new partnership with Cats Veterinary in Clinton Township. We have established a fund to be called the 4 Paws 1 Heart/Cats Vet fund which will provide medical dollars for abandoned and stray animals. We will jointly work together to raise funds and encourage donations through the veterinary hospital — all for the good of the abandoned and abused. Please ‘like’ the facebook pages of Cats Vet, Harper Woods Veterinary, and the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center as thanks for all that they do. Here are the first orphans who will be helped through this new fund. ~ diana

“A client of the veterinary feeds outside cats and has his whole garage dedicated as a shelter for the cats. The garage has heated cat trees, scratching posts, cat beds, etc. He noticed that one of his new ‘tenants’ was pregnant and gave birth in his garage. He was taking care of mamma and babies and planned to spay her once the kittens were weaned. Then one day he came home from work to poor mama on the side of the road, hit by a car and dead. He did not know how to take care of bottle babies so he called me. The staff gladly agreed to take over bottle feeding duty and the kittens were brought in. All of the babies are doing great and they even attended the recent People, Pets, and Vet event at Macomb Community College. They will be up for adoption soon; they are 4 weeks old now. All adoption fees will go into the 4 Paws 1 Heart/Cats Vet Medical Fund.” ~ Sasha, Board Member, 4 Paws 1 Heart
