Pudding, Very Sweet and Shy Kitten

Posted on by

11/14/24 – Yesterday, October 13, her rescuer, Kim, contacted us to ask for help in getting a very sweet but shy kitten fully vetted. ‘Pudding’ had been hanging around her house for about two weeks.

Kim tried to find an owner by reporting her rescue to the Oakland County Animal Control as well as several of the ‘lost and found’ sites but no one claimed her; and, there was no microchip.

Kim told me if we could help, Pudding could be adopted by a very nice family. We authorized Pudding to be seen at Orion Animal Hospital and they are able to see her today. We are thankful that another orphan has been saved and will be soon in a loving home. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/ P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI. 48080

11/14/24 – Meadow and Mosey were found on the streets in Flushing. Their rescuer said they were very sweet and loving and wanted to find them a furever home but couldn’t afford their vetting. As you can see, one of them had what appeared to be an eye infection. They were authorized to be treated at All About Animals in Flint. – diana

Your donation makes a huge difference!!

Posted on by

11/13/24 – Because of a very generous donation by a long-time supporter, we have been able to help with two significant cases we were contacted about. This case is about 40+ cats/kittens in Clair County, MI. The rescuer, Laura, contacted us to see if we could help with her project. She was able to get low cost spay/neuter from a kind veterinarian at the Clair County Animal Shelter. 4 Paws 1 Heart is helping with 20 cats and are very thankful that the overwhelming population of unwanted cats can be lessened because of this project and the caring people involved.

Please, if you have friends/family who have NOT spayed/neutered their cats, please share this post. Something like this can occur in less than a year from just one female and one male mating. A female cat can start producing at 4 months old and can have 3 litters a year. One intact female can produce an average of 15 cats annually; if just half of that amount are females, they will then go on to repeat this very sad situation.

Your donation makes a huge difference!! – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Happy Update! Nymeria, Ripley, and Sid

Posted on by

11/7/24 – Happy Update! Nymeria, Ripley, and Sid were all found at different times during this past winter and summer, wandering the streets and needing our help. Here is their happy update from their rescuer, Jessica:

“Nymeria was spayed yesterday and she is recovering perfectly she has found her forever home with a wonderful couple from Harrison Township that have an older cat and a dog and she is living her best life. Ripley has had an inquiry on petfinder and I am very hopeful that this will be a good fit, the woman works with rescues and has a house not to far from me with no cats and 1 dog. I have invited her to come over and meet Ripley in person and she is sending me her references and a home walk through video this week so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Sid is doing wonderful and I am so impressed with how far he has come, a nice woman from Grand Rapids who lives alone with her senior cat has told me that when he is ready she is very interested in being his forever home. I am so thankful for all of your help. I love all of these babies and it has been so wonderful helping them. – Jessica”

It truly takes a village and we couldn’t do it without your donations. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Gizmo’s Eye Surgery is Being Scheduled

Posted on by

11/5/24 – On October 11 I posted about Gizmo who was rescued in early September with another kitten, Baby Girl. Their rescuer, Barbara, was feeding the ‘ferals’ and these two stole her heart. Barbara asked for our help to have the cats tested, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered.

The one cat, Gizmo, seemed to have an eye infection, so he was first seen at Groesbeck Animal Hospital, so he could be treated quickly. Then Gizmo and Baby Girl went to Rescue Veterinary Hospital for full vetting, but the doctor recommended Gizmo be seen by a specialist. Well, two of the best doctors for eyes whom we know are Dr. Blasses and Dr. Zalac at Orion Animal Hospital. Dr. Blasses saw Gizmo the other day and diagnosed entropion of his one eye. This is a very pain condition which can cause blindness if left untreated. Gizmo’s surgery is being scheduled.- Diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Molly’s Owner’s Threw Her Out

Posted on by

11/5/24 – We were contacted by a caring woman, very involved in rescue whom we’ve assisted in the past. This very beautiful declawed cat, Molly, had been thrown out before her owners had moved.

She had been living amongst feral cats and had gotten pretty beaten up. She had some wounds and had been vomiting.

We authorized her to be seen by the great doctors at Orion Animal Hospital. She was treated and we are confident that Molly will go on to find a very loving home, never to be abandoned again. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Meet Lucy and Ricky

Posted on by

10/31/24 – Meet Lucy and Ricky. They are a bonded pair of 5 week-old kittens found abandoned on the road, likely orphaned after their mother was hit by a car. They had obvious worms, diarrhea, and, as you can see, eye issues. We were contacted earlier in the month and are being seen today at Orion Animal Hospital.

Remember these babies in your prayers. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Pooh Had his Eye Surgery

Posted on by

10/31/24 – HAPPY HALLOWEEN UPDATE:

Backstory: Pooh showed up ON September 28 covered with fleas and having worms. The homeowner took care of that and also had him vaccinated and neutered but then she was told that he had entropion in one eye. We’ve helped cases like this in the past and this is where the eyelashes are growing inward to the eyeball and if left untreated, it will result in blindness. Pooh’s finder contacted her friend who took Pooh in and contacted us. We authorized his surgery with Orion Animal Hospital.

Update: Pooh had his eye surgery and had his sutures removed the other day. He is doing great. You can see the difference! This can only be accomplished with your donations, the great veterinary hospitals who work with us, and, of course, the rescuers. Thank you to all and if you can, please consider making a donation. I know that the economy has been hard on many of us but, unfortunately, it has hit the animal world more than any other. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
