8/4/22 – Prayers Please. This two-week old baby was seen being thrown out in a bag at a Meijer’s parking lot. There were 4 kittens in that bag. I’m not sure how this all played out but some people took 3 of the kittens and left one in the bag. A kind Samaritan took that kitten and brought her immediately to a hospital we work with, Groesbeck Animal Hospital which was close by. I was contacted by one of the staff and asked if we knew anyone who could take the kitten in to bottle-feed. Thankfully, our friend and very experienced rescuer, took in little Bambina and within an hour she was safe and secure and being given a bottle. We don’t know how long this baby was away from her mom and left unfed and she is definitely week. We know nothing about the other 3 kittens and their fate but pray the people who took them know what to do with such young babies who would require immediate bottle feeding which would have to continue every two hours or so. After 12 years of doing this, I still don’t understand the cruelty of some humans and worry about anyone who could so easily murder 4 little lives. – diana.

8/7/22 – A couple of weeks ago I received the following message from a person whom we’ve often assisted with rescued cats/kittens:

“I was tagged in a post on fb about 5 kittens that were posted for free. They were living outside in a cage on someone’s gazebo. I hate seeing animals posted for free; it always makes me worry where they might end up. So I met the guy that had them. He brought them to me in the bed of his pick up truck. They were terrified. I got them home, fed them got them water which they couldn’t get enough of either. They are boney with big bellies and one has what looks to be a bot fly. They are scared but some what friendly. I was told they were 10 weeks old but I’m thinking they are more like 6 maybe 7 weeks old. Can you please help with medical. – Bonnie”

Thankfully, we are still able to help in these situations and all of the kittens were taken in for an exam and their distemper vaccines. Fred did have a bot fly which was removed; the hole was a little larger than a quarter. Who knows how long that poor baby had that ‘beast’ burrowing in his body. When old enough, we will be covering the rabies vaccines, second boosters, and, of course, spays/neuters. Here is George, Fred, Harry, Buffy, and Ron.

Only with your donations can we continue to help these orphans and save them from eventual death on the streets. – diana.

8/7/22 – And, two weeks later these five kittens were dropped off at Bonnie’s home and once again we covered their distemper vaccines and will be following up with the rabies vaccines, spay/neuters, and snap tests. Here is Lucy, Ozzy, Patches, Creamsicle, and Gizmo. All are in foster homes. – diana.

Openings for only 7 more foursomes.

4/5/22 – Momma, Petunia, and Hunter were all rescued from the streets during the bitter temps. They are now safe, vaccinated spayed/neutered, and tested — ready to find furever home. – Diana.

4/4/22 – Brownie, another dog injured in a dog fight. His owner surrendered him and we authorized treatment for his wounds as well as the usual vetting — vaccines, heart worm test, neuter, flea/parasite treatment, Brownie’s neck wounds were pretty extensive and infected and were treated with antibiotics. Unfortunately, in the process of his exam and treatment, he was found positive for heart worm. Consequently, we also started him on his 30 day pre-injection treatment and when that is complete he will complete his heart worm treatment and hopefully move on to a loving, furever home. Thank YOU to Shelley E. for contacting us and finding a foster and thank you to Susan who is fostering him at this time. The vet staff reported that Brownie loved the office cat and gave kisses to everyone (even during the exam). Shelley said that his smile is contagious and that he’s a real heartbreaker. Without your donations and attendance at our fundraisers, we could never help with the many injured and sick animals rescued from very bad situations. Thank YOU – diana.

4/3/22 – Before you know it, our Bowling Fundraiser will be here. This has been a sell out event since the beginning so reserve your lane asap. Cost is $20 if you pay early. Payment can be made through paypal (identify bowlers) or by check (provide an e mail for confirmation and bowlers). This is a fun night for adults to finally get out and enjoy after two long years. If you have any questions, please e mail me at: [email protected]/donations/P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI. 48080

4/1/22 – Waffles Update: Here’s a little bit on Waffles’ diagnosis. The next step will be to have some x-rays done which can only be done at Michigan State which we will cover. The condition is ‘fixable’ so after that Waffles will be scheduled for surgery which will be costly. Everyone involved with be trying to raise funds so that Waffles can live a good quality of life in a loving home. Also, here are some current photos of the little guy. – diana.4paws1heart.org/donations/P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI. 48080

3/31/22 – Here we are on the last day of a very windy and cold March and the kittens/cats needing help has not stopped. In the past two years there was no “kitten season”. Unfortunately, the overpopulation of cats continue to be overwhelming but we are doing everything we can to make a difference. But, only with the help of our donors, the rescuers, and our amazing vets. Here is Toothless and Floof. Both were taken off the streets, tested, vaccinated, neutered/spayed, and treated for any fleas and parasites. Their finders are hoping to find furever homes. – Diana
