3/25/25 – This case initially started November 12, 2024 when we were contacted about two cats who had been roaming the neighborhood and being fed by the woman who contacted us. She wanted to take both of them in and find them homes. We said we could help but then didn’t hear back from the rescuer. Unfortunately, her mother had passed away and she re-contacted me after I sent a follow-up. The woman and sister had decided to adopt them both and still needed the medical assistance which was finally done.
We were happy to help getting Phoenix and Charlie, two more sweet cats who had been either lost or abandoned, a second chance at life. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
3/23/25. – HAPPY GRACIE UPDATE! She is smiling in this recent pic and so am I! On Friday we brought her back to Moore Veterinary Hospital to monitor her blood levels very closely. My friend and practice manager Brenda Girard insisted on taking Gracie home for the weekend to give me a much needed break. I was so exhausted when she told me I just cried. Brenda is also a seasoned veterinary technician and she lives close to Advanced Animal Emergency if anything were to happen. Well, Gracie is doing AMAZING and she is healing on her own without surgery! This is the best news ever and I am so relieved! Next step is to get her in a foster home and find that fur-EVER Home that she so desperately deserves. Thank you everyone who has messaged, sent positive thoughts, prayers, and donated.
The support from all of you, my co workers, our board members, my husband, friends, and the emergency is a gift that means so much to me! ❤️. Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

1/2/25 – On Christmas Day we posted the story of Zorro and Peaches who were rescued in November with upper respiratory infections. They were just 5-6 weeks old at the time. Now they have been treated, vaccinated, and will be spayed/neutered on January 16.
Then, these very sweet babies will need their furever homes. If you are interested in adopting Zorro (black) or Peaches (orange) OR both, please contact Kelley at: [email protected] – diana
12/25/24 – The Board of 4 paws 1 heart wishes our many supporters, the rescuers, and the veterinary staffs a very Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. It’s been a blessing to be a part of a village which has done so much to make a difference in the lives of so many orphaned and abused animals. We can’t thank you enough and wish you a day that is filled with much love, laughter, and furry kisses.
This is Zorro and Peaches — siblings who were rescued in late November. Because of the village these 5-6-week old babies are safe and loved. Their eyes will never again be stuck closed and they will never have to search for food and shelter. – diana
12/11/ 24 – I am at a loss for words and heartbroken to say that Bruce passed away this morning. His eye was removed yesterday and he was kept overnight at the hospital. His rescuers, Donny and Calee, are beyond devastated.
They are picking his body up right now and giving him a proper burial. Bruce was sweet as can possibly be and in his short time he brought endless feelings of joy, happiness, and love to every heart he touched especially the hearts of Calee and Donny.
He deserved a long life surrounded by people who would give that back to him. It’s very hard for me to look beyond the tears and the sadness for his sudden loss, but I’m grateful he didn’t suffer and die alone out in the cold. That he knew love, that he will be remembered, and hopefully his spirit will live on forever in the lives he touched. Please keep Donny and Calee in your thoughts and prayers as they try and process life without this little shining star that wandered to their window.
Please remember that your donations matter in giving animals like Bruce a chance to be loved beyond measure. And, remember the veterinary staff and doctors who are also grieving the loss of this little life especially after all they put in to try and save him. I have been on both ends and it’s something we all take home and never forget. Hug your babies..
10/29/24 Before and after showing what love can do. This is Ember. She is now in a forever home with one of the veterinarians we work with. I’ll post update in her new home soon. Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
