CRUZ WILL BE AVAILABLE

3/21/24 – Double your donation during the Irene $1,000 Memorial Match in honor of a good friend’s mother who recently passed away. As our friend wrote recently:

“Remembering Mom and Dad who always believed in the welfare and protection of all animals~great and small~in need of help, homes and love. Thank you for all the vulnerable little ones you are able to help and care for with all the generous and thoughtful donors.”

And, yes, it’s animals like Cruz, vulnerable after being thrown out by a shelter and so emaciated when he was rescued by Make a Difference Rescue that he could not receive immediate vaccines because he was ‘skin and bones’. We were thankful to pay for Cruz’s vaccines, neuter, and testing. He will be available for adoption through Make a Difference Rescue. – diana

UPDATE 3/20/24 – Just learned from the Rescue that Minnie has been adopted. YEAH!!!

3/20/24 – IRENE $1,000 MEMORIAL MATCH STARTS TODAY! A long time friend of 4 paws 1 heart lost her mom recently. Over the years our friend has not only donated financially but she would pick up and deliver pet food which we would distribute, she was a foster failure for a couple of animals we had helped and she has done transport for animals to medical facilities. She contacted me recently to give me the sad news of her mom’s passing and said that she would like to initiate a $1,000 Match in memory of her mom, Irene, who also loved all animals.

Please help us reach the $1,000 goal within the next two weeks. It starts today and will end April 3, 2024. Please note “Irene Memorial Match” in your donation. And we thank you so very much in advance because with the support of our Village we are able to continue to help animals like Minnie who we recently helped with her medical which included complications during her spay.

Minnie was recently rescued by Make a Difference Rescue. Minnie was found laying in a vacant backyard in Detroit. She is now on the road to recovery and if you are interested in this beautiful girl, please contact Make a Difference Rescue. – diana

SPRING BABIES

3/19/24 – Well, tonight is the official beginning of Spring and the need keeps getting greater for the cats and dogs on our streets. Babies are being born, abandoned animals are getting injured and ill, and the veterinary clinics, especially, the low cost clinics, are overwhelmed as are the rescue groups. Funds go out faster than they come in but we are thankful for our many donors and supporters who continue to get us through these tough days.

This is Baby. Over the last few years, the woman who contacted us has been helping out a lady in Detroit with the strays she cares for. She gets them tnr’d, provides them shelters for the winter, and buys food. Baby is a friendly that she brought inside; he has been inside for a few weeks. But, recently she noticed that he was attacking his tail and yells in pain. With further examination, it appears he has puncture wounds but difficult to tell the extent because of the long fur. Baby has been authorized to be seen at one of our partner clinics and we pray that some antibiotics and topical care will take care of Baby’s medical needs. – diana

MIA UPDATE

We offered to help when contacted from a rescuer who found this stray malnourished cat with ice frozen to her tail and ears. Amputation was required because the damage was so severe. The frostbite on her paw pads is almost healed. We covered her spay surgery 2 weeks ago and she is now ready for a forever home. Mia would do best in a home as the only cat. If you are interested please let me know and I will put you in touch with the rescuer. Thank you. Gina

DONNY NEEDS HELP

Donny is another injured stray in need of help. He was found pretty beat up and in pain. We are fortunate for Good Samaritans and so many caring individuals who open their heart and home up to these homeless animals. The finder thinks Donny was dumped when owners were evicted. Please keep him in your prayers that he will make a quick recovery, and if you want to help Donny our link to donate is below.

Thank you Gina

MIA IS IN NEED OF A FUREVER HOME

We were contacted about Mia who suffered severe frostbite. She required amputation of her tail, tip of her ears, and her spay. Her little feet are still healing. She is in need of a forever home. Preferably, no other cats. If you are interested I’ll put u in touch with the foster. Gina

Remember sweet precious Mia who was found frozen 2 weeks ago and full of frostbite? I was just talking with her rescuer and her tail and ear amputation are healing, but her pads on feet are sloughing and damaged from the frostbite. We are having the doctor recheck her tomorrow for possibly another round of antibiotics to prevent secondary infection. This girl still needs to be vaccinated and fixed. If you would like to donate to Mia here is the link and put Mia in the note. We will post after her hospital visit tomorrow. Thank you Gina
