Phoenix was Rescued

Posted on by

9/24/13 – 4 Paws 1 Heart is so grateful to our caring rescue friends who help us in placing animals we have helped with medical bills. One of these animals is Phoenix. Phoenix was rescued from a home who kept ‘rescuing’ cats although the person had very limited income and room. Of the kittens taken from the ‘rescuer’, a number of them came down with Panleuk. Not everyone made it, but those who did survive are doing well and some have been adopted. Although we helped, Tigerlily spent many dollars in helping these babies through this deadly illness which is likened to the Parvo virus with puppies. This is Phoenix who continues to require medical assistance; he is just not thriving as we would help. Thank You to Tigerlily for always being there for our kitties and us. I’m thankful that we are able to again send a few dollars to your vet to help with Phoenix’s high medical bills. Please pray for Phoenix and make sure you check out their fb page. ~ diana

STRAY CAT BEING EATEN ALIVE BY MAGGOTS.

Posted on by

9/20/13 – STRAY CAT BEING EATEN ALIVE BY MAGGOTS. Please think about the next time you let your cat outdoors. This was an owned cat that was found by two good Samaritans in Harrison Township who were horrified when they heard the cries.. Not only was he being eaten alive with maggots, but he had a broken leg, broken jaw, and he was walking around with his eye popped out and ruptured for at least a week!!!! 4 Paws 1 heart was willing to pay for whatever treatment necessary, but despite all efforts from our veterinarian and emergency staff it was just to late. He didn’t make it.. Can anyone tell me WHY this isn’t totally preventable?!?! I know it’s very sick, but this is reality and If I don’t show you then you won’t know the dangers that exist. On behalf of veterinary staff everywhere, we don’t enjoy seeing the suffereing either, but it’s our job to educate..  Gina

Keller Surgery Update

Posted on by

9/12/13 – 9/12/13 First let me apologize — some people have been asking for an update on Keller and I wondered why. As soon as I talked to his mom on Tuesday, I posted the update. But, as I look through our timeline I can’t find it; the only update is Pat’s. So let me let everyone know what is going on. Keller is doing great. His eye surgery went well and he is to have the stitches taken out of his eyelids on September 24. At that time he will also get his vaccinations. Keller wasn’t able to get neutered in that only one testicle could be found so there is a chance that there is a testicle that hasn’t descended. The doctors suggest that Keller have surgery for this condition in about 6 months. In that there is no danger of Keller using his manhood to “get in trouble”, we all feel it’s best to wait. 4 Paws 1 Heart will keep the donated money aside to make sure all expenses up to the neutering and potential surgery for the testicle is covered. Pat will be signing papers to make our little Keller a permanent member of her household. I’ve asked Pat for an update. Thanks again to all of our friends for your prayers and support. ~ diana
