12/2/18 – A huge thank you to our friends at the Utica Education Association Staywell (UEA) Committee for once again including 4 Paws 1 Heart in their Howl O Ween Hustle. Their support will allow us to spay/neuter 40 cats. When you consider that one female will produce a litter (averaging 5 kittens) three times a year for most of her life, that is 15 kittens a year who will not be born to live and die on the streets. – diana

FUNDRAISER – SWEETEST DAY $1,500 MATCH
10/8/18 – WARNING: Sweetest Day is just around the corner – October 20, 2018. For those of you who don’t know, per Wikepedia, Sweetest Day was “started by Herbert Birch Kingston, a Cleveland, Ohio philanthropist and candy company employee. He wanted to bring happiness to orphans, shut-ins and under-privileged. His intent was to show these people that they were not forgotten. In 1922, he started this holiday by giving candy and small gifts.”
So in the spirit of the original Sweetest Day, one of our Board members has decided to match up to $1,500 in donations made during the week of October 13 through October 20. What better gift can you give to your ‘sweetie’ than the gift of life. Your donations have given many forgotten and abused a second chance, let’s keep it going. AND, if you give me enough time, I would be happy to email your Sweetheart a special acknowledgement. Just let me know in the remarks who and where to send. P.S. Here are three little souls saved by our friend Cortney and medically backed by 4paws1heart. Anyone interested in adopting Flash, Volt, or Piglet, contact Cortney at: [email protected]
Howl-O-Ween Hustle – October 27, 2018

Thank YOU to Our Generous Supporters – You Make Miracles Happen
Billy will be seeing a specialist on September 13. We fully expect the surgery to be scheduled shortly after. Prayers for our baby. – diana
“It’s that time again Team… time for treats, kisses & cuddles to be passed out, meds too. Time for Billy & Carla to be tucked into their beds and all of us to say our prayers and get ready for our nitenites. It’s also time to say thankyou to all of our friends who have donated to help with Billy’s ongoing vet bills and to help make his upcoming surgery possible, your kindness and generosity is so appreciated and means so much. Billy is so deserving of this chance to live a normal, painfree kitten life. With everything he’s going through, he never stops purring! What an amazing, brave little boy. Please if you havent donated yet, consider donating to give Billy his Second Chance.
Sweet dreams Team Chance, we love you all to the moon & back! Love ❤ Chance, Billy & the Gang”

8th Anniversary – Looking Back at the Many Miracles – Snickers
8/19/18 – Looking Back at the Many Miracles. Remember Snickers. It was 2013 when a young man found this very sick kitten in an icy puddle in an alley in Hamtramck, MI. A village came together to get him to the emergency hospital where Gina worked. We thought he’d lose an eye but with lots of love and medical attention, both he and his eye survived. Up to $1,500 in donations will be matched during our Anniversary Week. You too can make a difference. Donations can be made at:https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
Mickey (aka Neo) – Looking Back Over the Past 8 Years
8/18/18 – HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY TO 4 PAWS 1 HEART. To celebrate this momentous occasion, one of our Board members has offered to match up to $1,500 in donations made over the next week. As a reminder to all of our supporters, we will take a look back at some of our many miracles. This is Mickey (now Neo). It was January, 2017 when I was called about a sweet dog found licking frozen water in the street. He had a cherry eye and he turned out to be heart worm positive. We thank God for his rescuer and and for the donations that made our help possible. Here he is then and now since he’s been adopted by a loving family who adores him. Donations can be made at: https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
4 Paws 1 Heart Celebrates 8 Years of Funding Medical Treatment for Abandoned/Stray Animals
August 18, 2018 4 Paws 1 Heart celebrates its 8th Anniversary –over 5,000 animals and $665,888 in paid medical bills. And it couldn’t have happened without our rescue friends and our supporters. Starting tomorrow we have a $1,500 match starting as well as a trip down memory lane. Please be sure to check out our posting and share it — and to my family and friends, who have supported me over the past 8 years, — a sincere thank you. Also, a huge thank you to our Board of Directors, my husband Tony, and my dad who chose to honor my mom by having contributions made in her memory last July, 2017 when she passed away. We raised over $7,000 at that time and it truly made the difference in so many lives. I also want to recognize Kroger, Colleen’s Irish Pub, Harbor Lanes, Painting with a Twist,Jefferson Yacht Club, and 100 Women Who Care – Grosse Pointe as great community partners. ~ diana
