I can’t tell you how many cats we have helped in the past 10 days who have been rescued by individuals who have become 4 Paws 1 Heart friends. In making arrangements for the veterinary visits and writing the checks, I haven’t had a chance to put out the stories — but I will! In the meantime, our Pirate for Paws event is official. Here’s the flyer. Please be there and please share.

Mark your calendars and prepare for some very fun events to get you out of the winter doldrums. Please share and get as many people out as possible. We can’t continue to save abandoned and abused animals without your support. ~ diana

1/25/14 NEWS: Our Bowling Fundraiser is scheduled for Saturday, May 3, 2014. As always, it will be a fun night of music, bowling, pizza, raffles, 50/50, and libations. We are also planning a $10 wristband event for the end of February or the beginning of March at Captain Jack’s on the Nautical Mile (exact details to follow); and look forward to our event at Colleen’s Irish Pup on April 5 where you will not only pay a mere $10 for a pasta dinner but you will be treated by the Sounds of Paul and Diana — the best music in town (if you’re old school — and a little new school. Mark your calendars and Please share because we care for the abandoned and abused!! ~ diana

4 Paws 1 Heart and the 700 plus animals who we’ve been able to help over the past 3 years want to wish all of our supporters the very best on this day of Thanks! We are thankful for all of our supporters who have donated money and/or attended our fundraisers. Without your support we could do none of this. We would also like to thank the skilled, professional, and caring staff of the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center for all that you have done to make a difference in the lives of the abandoned and abused. We would also like to thank our new partners at the Cats Veterinary for working with us to improve the lives of the many animal orphans. And, last but not least, we want to thank all of our Rescue partners who are on the front lines cleaning up the damage created by too many humans. ~ Diana and the Board of 4 Paws 1 Heart

As we come so very close to the end of 2013, please consider a donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart. We are a 501c3 not-for-profit organization which means that your donation is tax deductible. BUT, more importantly, with your donations, we have been able to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of companion animals. Fundraisers are the only other source of funding for 4P1H, and in the case of Motown Night, the raffle prize donations were phenomenal. Again, thank you to all! ~ Diana and the Board of 4 Paws 1 Heart
