Ember – One of 9 Kittens Needing Immediate Medial Assistance

Posted on by

9/2/19 – Without the support of our donors, we could not keeping saying ‘yes’ when I get a call. Prayers for Ember. ~ diana

“So as some of you may know a few weeks back Erica Diola and I trapped some mom kitties and baby kitties and another adult. This resulted in 9 kittens at my house! Woah! Good news is, three of him have been adopted and two more are ready (socially) and I will be posting soon.

However, one little kitty stuck out in the litter, Erica noticed she was very small and skinny, white gums etc. so i reached out to 4 Paws 1 Heart and I’m sure you can guess , Diana said yes to Ember being seen. We went to the vet and they were unable to do blood work, a couple weeks go by she’s still not improving and behaving much differently than the rest of her litter. Finally today, we go to another vet, they get the bloodwork, her white blood cells are elevated I indicating infection, although she has showed no visible signs of such. Also her kidney levels are elevated because she is also dehydrated. We are now being sent home with antibiotics and special diet. Thank you so much to 4 paws for always being there for us little guys! Sorry it was a quick post so I know it’s a little scattered, still at the vet with a dying phone lol. – Cortney”ember 8:29:19

Luke – Needs Part of His Tail Amputated

Posted on by

8/30/19 – A couple of evenings ago, our friend Debra was able to catch 7 kittens who desperately needed attention. Three kittens went to expert rescuer and four went to Chance’s mom. All with the commitment that 4 Paws 1 Heart would cover medical when needed. Well, this little guy, who appears to be the runt of the litter, needed help sooner than expected. A part of his tail bone was totally exposed and needed to be seen by a doctor before it became infected. Fortunately, Luke was able to be seen within a few hours and here is the report from Chance:

“Well our Luke is home. Thankfully they were able to just numb his tail instead of the risky procedure of knocking him out when he’s sooo little. So he got his little tail numbed and docked just above where the bone was exposed and then 1 little stitch put in. Mom says she can tell he feels better already. He ate a good dinner, used the litter box and now he’s sound asleep! And you cant even tell that his tail is just a wee bit shorter then it should be, and we don’t have to worry about any infection & pain down the road. Thank you Dr. Lynch and 4 Paws 1 Heart for being there for little Luke. – Chance”luke 8:28:19luke 8:28:19===

Luke and LeLou – Two of Seven Kittens Rescued on the Street

Posted on by

8/29/19 – Yesterday our friend Debra rescued 7 young kittens in her neighborhood. Of course 4p1h will be medically backing them. Another is pretty emaciated but his foster mom, Patricia, is experienced with this. Please say a prayer for the many animals roaming the streets without anyone to care for them.  This is Luke, one of four taken in by Chance’s mom and Lelou, taken in by Patricia B. – diana

CHANCE: Well Team, vet visits are starting early for this little guy we are calling Luke. This is the baby we told you had the end of his tail missing. He will be going in today to have the exposed tip tended to at Patterson Veterinary Hospital thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart. Wish our little Luke luck, his appointment is at 3 and we’ll keep you posted. He’s a sweet, sweet little boy, thank goodness Auntie Debra rescued these babies! -Chance”luke 8:28:19=== lelou 8:28:19

Pancake – When They Learned She Had Heart Worm; Everyone But One Abandoned Her

Posted on by

8/28/19 – Pancake was being fostered by someone who thought she was fostering for a high-kill shelter. But, when Pancake was diagnosed with heart worm, no one at the shelter would claim her. The foster took care of Pancake’s first 30 days of antibiotics, but she could not afford the final treatment. And, that’s when we were called in. We were happy to take care of Pancake’s heart worm treatment; treatment will start soon. Without 4 Paws 1 Heart and Ashleigh, the amazing foster, Pancake would have been euthanized. Pancake may have a furever home after her treatments are complete. If you are interested, contact Asheigh at: [email protected]. As is usual, a huge thank you to our supporters who make our help possible. ~ diana

Ramona and Beezus- Dropped Off at Midnight on the Porch of a Known Rescuer

Posted on by

8/27/19 – Meet Ramona and Beezus. They were dropped off at midnight at the rescuer’s home. Their eyes weren’t even open yet. We have since taken care of their vaccines, testing, and spay/neuter. But, shortly after her spay, Ramona was acting listless. We had her immediately seen by one of our partner vets and it was determined that Ramona had an infection resulting from her surgery. Everyone is doing great now. Ramona is the torti and Beezus is the striped cutie. ~ diana

Lucky – Found on the Streets; No Owner Could Be Found

Posted on by

8/26/19 – Lucky (the Husky) was found on the streets without any tags or identification. For several weeks, the rescuers attempted to find Lucky’s owner. When no owner could be found, they contacted us for help with getting Lucky vaccinated, tested, and neutered. Thankfully, Lucky tested negative for heart worm and he is scheduled for his neuter. He has become fast friends with the rescuers’ other dog and has taken over the hearts of the family. ~ diana
