Meet Nia
7/11/13 More help for our rescue friends who help us so much when a sick or abandoned animal comes our way. Meet Nia. Nia lost an eye as a result of her owner using an inexpensive flea treatment. She has been through a lot but thankfully when Tigerlily received the call from the veterinary’s office advising that her owner had surrendered her. Tigerlily, once again, came through. 4 Paws 1 Heart is thankful that we could help with her medical bills. Anyone interested in adopting this sweetheart should contact Tigerlily Cat Rescue. ~ Diana
Miley was put into a Fox Trap to be Used as Bait
7/24/13 Every day I thank God that we have been supported by fellow animal lovers in our quest to help the injured and abused. This is Miley; put into a fox trap to be used as bait. Only 4 weeks old, she lost a pay in the process. Miley was rescued by our good friends at A Rejoyceful Animal Rescue and we are happy to help with her medical bill. Miley is now in a wonderful foster home being loved and pampered. ~ dianaDiamond and Michigan Cat Rescue
4 Paws 1 Heart works with rescue organizations by helping them with medical bills. When we read about Diamond, we knew we had to help. Here is her story from the Michigan Cat Rescue: ~ diana
“Diamond had a mass on her abdomen and was very sad at the shelter; nobody would adopt her and her time was up.
She was a stray, trying to survive on the streets. She suffered from a horrible flea infestation that’s why most of her hair was missing. By the way, she is already declawed…she was living out on the streets this way…how sad is that?
Fortunately, the mass was not a tumor but a hernia which was repaired and now she is healing and will be looking for her forever home.”
Fritz is Looking for His Forever Home
JULY 18, 2013 ~ If any of our friends and family find themselves with a few extra dollars, please consider donating to 4 Paws 1 Heart. It’s important to support your local organizations because they don’t have the money for expensive commercials and mailings. And, when you donate to small local organizations, your money is more likely to go directly to the cause. With 4 Paws 1 Heart, every dollar donated (with the exception of one person’s cell phone) goes directly to funding medical treatment. All other expenses are donated by some of the Board members. You can donate using paypal on our facebook page or our website or by mailing a check to 4 Paws 1 Heart, P. O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080. Thank You!!!This is Fritz who is still in need of his forever home. He’s the little guy who needed surgery to remove dozens of rubber bands and because of 4 Paws 1 Heart, he is alive today because of our supporters!. ~ diana
Breezy Update
BREEZY UPDATE: This little guy has been through a lot but he has fought through it all. Now look at him — cuddled up with his new foster family. Paws crossed that they decide to give him a furever home. On another note, Breezy will be tested again soon for feline leukemia. We’ll keep everyone informed. ~ diana
Meet Tiger Jay
MEET TIGER JAY – 4 Paws 1 Heart received the following plea for assistance: ~ diana
7/10/13 “Tonight I found a kitten abandoned on a dirt road far from any houses. He’s probably 5-6 weeks old, he is missing an eye. I can’t have anymore animals at my house but this kitten is the sweetest little guy I’ve ever snuggled! Do you have any advice on how to or where to find him a good home. I know he’s going to need some medical care most likely because of his eye.” ~ Samantha
Although we rarely work outside the four-county area, we couldn’t help but help Samantha and this little guy. We made arrangements for Samantha to take Tiger Jay to her vet and here is Samantha’s report:
7/17/13 “I took the kitten to the vet today he got all of his vaccines and some antibiotics for the eye. The vet said the kitten was born with an eye and he likely got hurt or someone hurt him because there is some eye parts still way back in there. He said surgery is not likely but he needed some antibiotics to fight the infection that’s in there, likely from being in the wild. They aged him at about 5 weeks. He is full of worms so we de-wormed him as well. They called the eye problem phthisis bulbi. I really appreciate your help and so does tiger !!!” ~ Samantha
Tiger Jay will be re-examined by the vet in about 30 days and if he needs more help, we’ll be there for him. The other good news is that the wonderful manager at Surrey Vet has offered to help Samantha in getting a rescue to take over Tiger Jay’s placement if needed. Another baby saved from pain and cruelty. ~ diana
Breezy needs a loving home
7/2/13 Breezy Needs a Loving Home: Our little Breezy has gone through so much. He was found on the streets (just days old) with his brother, Sabs. Then he lost his brother shortly afterward. Breezy did great for a couple of weeks afterward and then, all of a sudden, he took a turn for the worse and we thought we were going to lose him. But, this little fighter kept going and was actually thriving. Then, Gina had him tested and, to our dismay, he tested positive for Feline Leukemia. Feline Leukemia is a contagious virus and to be safe, Breezy should be in a home by himself or with other cats with feline leukemia. Breezy cannot be vaccinated but because he is less than 8 weeks old, there is a small possibility that the test might be false. He will be tested again in a few weeks. Please share this little guy in hopes that we can find him a loving, caring home. It’s the very least we can do for this sweet, sweet fighter. ~ diana
