Chancey – Update
9/21/18 – Chancey Update – Last night Chancey arrived at the emergency hospital where it was confirmed that his upper lip and upper nose is, in fact missing. Of course we don’t know how or when it happened but we do know that he had been living like this at least for a few days. The doctor recommended he see a specialist for reconstructive surgery or be humanely euthanized. I sincerely doubt we can afford reconstruction surgery but after everyone told me how sweet he is, I just couldn’t choose the latter. I asked the doctor if reconstruction was not done, could Chancey have a quality life. She said “yes” but he would be Special Needs. I requested that the hospital treat his basic needs and run some tests over night while giving us all an opportunity to find a place for him. Right now, our friend, Debbie N. has offered to temporarily take him in and further assess his needs. We will still need to find a forever home. I will continue to update. ~ diana4paws1heart.org/donations/
Putty – Rescued After Being Attacked by a Large Dog
9/20/18 – Please say a little prayer for Putty. We were contacted by our friend, Shelley, regarding a stray kitten who was attacked by a stray dog. She was found hiding inside a wood pile. The finder thought Putty had a broken back or broken legs because she couldn’t walk. One of the veterinarians we work with was able to see Putty as soon as Shelley could transport her. Putty was scared and hissing and had to be anesthetized in order to have x rays taken. The doctor saw no breaks and thinks Putty might just be bruised. Putty spent the night at the vet and was treated with antibiotics. She is currently with our good friend, Debbie, where he will be watched closely and be able to decompress. We will follow up with the vet as needed. ~ diana
Chancey – Found in the Middle of the Street – The Top of His Mouth and Nose Was Missing
9/20/18 – Prayers and Positive Energy Needed. This is Chancey. A good samaritan was driving down a road in Port Huron and saw a cat in the street. She stopped with the intent of chasing the cat off of the street and what she found next was horrible. Another cat came out of the bushes with what looked like “the top of his mouth and the top of his nose missing”. For the next couple of days, the finder went back to feed Chancey and give water; then she contacted us. Last night we asked the good Samaritan to get Chancey safely inside and that we would work toward placement and medical. This afternoon he will be going to our emergency hospital partner and if all goes well will have placement. At this time we do not know the extent of his injuries but we do know that he his eating and drinking but as you can see very thin. We will keep everyone updated. Your support is very much appreciated. ~ diana

Clark – Saved by the Village
9/18/18 – After yesterday’s very sad news, we wanted to share a happy story from this past weekend. I received a call from a long-time 4p1h supporter who we’ve assisted with other rescues in the past. Another very sweet cat was hanging around his house and our friend was asking if we could find him a rescue and have him seen by a vet. Our friend put together a box with a blanket and food while we could hopefully find a home. We were also set to have him (Clark) see a vet on Monday. Well, through the amazing work of the Village, Monroe Animal Rescue agreed to take in Clark and he was brought to the rescue within hours. I am totally serious when I say it takes a Village.
Baby Tony – Hit by a Car; His Injuries Were So Severe, Humane Euthanasia Was the Only Option
9/17/18 – RIP Sweet Baby Tony — Our Board member, Angela, discovered 4 kittens, while she was working, being fed by a kind woman. On Saturday Angela and our great friend, Debra Berolatti went back to the property and rescued 4 kittens, one of whom had been hit by a car. Little did we know that the injured kitten was very badly hurt. He had a multiple femur breaks in both back legs and a fractured pelvis. The doctor recommended humane euthanasia. Our hearts break every time a decision like this needs to be made. As the doctor said, at least he will no longer suffer and then die on the street because he could not defend himself. With all of the neuter/spay we all do, the over population of stray cats just never seems to go away. It is up to all of us. ~ diana

Charlie – Found Underweight, Flea and Worm Infested
9/16/18 – This little cutie is doing well. He was still too small for a fiv/felv test but will be rechecked in a few weeks. He will be available for adoption when old enough. Anyone interested should contact Cortney at: cortney.kleiner@outlook.com ~ diana
“Update 9/13, Charlie goes to the vet today at 5 to be rechecked and combo tested if possible. He has gone from very underweight at 12 oz to 1lb 6.5oz in jusy 9 DAYS. Hopefully our visit goes well, thanks to the WONDERFUL 4 Paws 1 Heart for making this happen for Charlie. I couldn’t do it without you guys!
Newest addition to our rescue madness. This is Charlie, he was found Erica Diola was able to get the address, I picked him up and dropped him off to her at work to be checked out. He’s very underweight, parasites in his feces, multiple species of worms, and potential URI I believe, he is now on FortiFlora Rx diet, along with antibiotics. He only has half of a tail and is estimated at about 7 weeks old. I decided to take him on to add him to my litter of kittens for socializing. However he was too small to be combo tested and needs to be quarantined anyways. Once he’s healthy enough he’ll be introduced to the babes and put up for adoption!-Cortney”
Billy – Gets Cleared for His Surgery
9/14/18 – NEWS ALERT!! Billy had his visit with the specialist yesterday and more x-rays were taken. The doctor discovered even more fractures than was originally thought. The good news is that the doctor believes Billy is a good candidate for his surgery and it has been scheduled for 9/21/18. AND, the reason we are able to take care of this so soon is because Team Chance (the many supporters of a Second Chance for Chance) generously donated enough to pay for Billy’s surgery in addition to buying a medical appliance who will not only help Billy but can be used by the rest of our special needs gang. I join Chance in sincerely thanking the many people over the past 8 years who have helped us make miracles happen. Please continue to keep Billy in your prayers. ~ diana
Sunflower, Bud, and Cosmo – Found at Just Two Weeks Old
9/14/18 – These little cuties were rescued at just two weeks old. A very kind man brought them home from work and his fiancee’ chose to care for them and bottle feed them. She enjoyed the experience so much, she decided to foster from our friends at Ferndale Cat Shelter. But before these babies are transferred to the rescue, 4 Paws 1 Heart has committed to taking care of their medical needs — spay/neuter, vaccines, testing, and flea prevention. Anyone interested in Sunflower, Bud, and/or Cosmo should contact Rachel at: rachel9932@gmail.com who is working with the foster mom and dad.. ~ diana
