Kittens, Kittens, and More Kittens – Fosters and Adopters Needed

5/22/15 – Once again, we are authorizing medical treatment for more cats and kittens than I can possibly keep up with. I am very sincere when I say, Thank God for all of the loving people who don’t turn their backs on these innocents. For every kitten/cat who comes under our care, there will be hundreds (if not thousands) of animals who will go unborn because every animal will eventually be neutered/spayed. PLEASE if you are interested in fostering, contact [email protected]. Every day the rescues and our organization receive dozens of calls regarding found cats and kittens needing not only our medical help but homes. If you can’t foster, PLEASE consider donating. For some reason, donations always seem to be slow this time of the year, yet the need is greater. Thank You!! ~ dianapat dimaggiolitter5:18:15

Angelo – Found Under a Car on the Top of His Dead Sibling

5/22/15 – Prayers for little Angelo. He was found on the street, laying on top of his dead sibling. A caring Madison Heights Animal Control Officer started making phone calls and, fortunately, Jennell Foster, once again, opened her heart and home. Concerned that his breathing was sounding difficult, Jennell, brought him to our dedicated friends at the Advanced Animal Emergency last night. It is always touch and go with babies this little who have lost their moms. ~ diana

A Message from his foster mom, Jennell:  “Good night from me & our newest addition to our 4 Paws 1 Heart. We had quite the exciting & exhausting day & night. It turns out Angie is Angelo, he’s already 8.6 ounces. Thanks go out to all the prayers, keep them coming. And a big, huge thanks to Diana Rascano of 4Paws1Heart for helping the baby!! We are taking a nap between 3 hour feedings. God bless all of you!!”

Princess Piggles – Then and Now

Here are the before and after pictures of “Princess Piggles”. Several months ago we had a cluster of horrible rain storms, and this little 2 week old orphan baby surfaced during the floods, a very kind DTE worker brought her to the emergency hospital. I hand-raised her until she was strong enough to go into a potential home. Initially she tested positive for FIV. Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is like feline AIDS. At 6 months old she tested negative. Her new mommy recently sent these updated pictures and I wanted to share them with everyone. Gina  5/21/15

BEN – Saved Before Being Left at a High-Kill Shelter

5/18//15 – HELP! This very handsome boy, BEN, is in critical need of a home to call his own. His days are spent in a kennel because his foster mom is at her limit, especially while she continues to care for Molly who is now hospitalized (details later). It was never intended that Ben would be with the foster for more than a day but…. Ben is neutered and front declawed; he was found wandering the streets all alone. 4 Paws 1 Heard paid for his visit to the veterinarian. He weighs 12 pounds and has tested negative for FIV/FELV. Patricia, foster mom, says Ben just wants to be loved and just wants attention. Patricia’s cats like to keep him company while he is in the kennel. If you would like to help Ben, please contact Patricia at [email protected] ~ dianaben 5:18:15 ben5:18:15

MOLLY – Sitting for Days Without Food and Pregnant in a High-Kill Shelter

5/18/15 – Prayers and Positive Energy Needed – Our Molly is in the hospital under the care of our best miracle worker and the great staff of the Animal Urgent and Critical Care Center. Molly was taken to the veterinary on Friday because she still did not want to eat. After running a panel of blood tests, the doctor suspected that Molly’s stomach had become upset by an over dosage of medication as prescribed by the Humane Society of Macomb (where Molly was on death row and was given the antibiotics when she was molly5:28:15removed). Yesterday her foster mom called and we decided to have her be seen under Gina’s watchful eye. The report as of this morning is that there is still uncertainty as to why Molly will not eat. The doctor does concur with the prior veterinarian who suggested the problem might be related to an over dosage of medication; Molly was getting 5 ml’s of antibiotics a day when she was supposed to be getting only 1.5 ml’s a day. Unfortunately, the label on the script was misinterpreted for ten days. Molly could be suffering from severe gastrointestinal ulcers. Molly is now on IV stomach protectants, IV fluids, injectable appetite stimulant, a new antibiotic and pain meds. Blood work, x- rays, and a felv/fiv test (negative) were performed. She will probably be hospitalized for a few days, and with all of this, she still is suffering from an upper respiratory infection. After a few days, Molly’s treatment will be reassessed. Along with your prayers, please remember that both Molly and McGee will be looking for their forever homes. There is no doubt that McGee will be missing his partner. ~ diana

Harsen’s Rescuer Speaks Out

5/15/15 – As most of us know who follow and use Facebook, many postings do not reach everyone and often individual posts get lost in the thread. In our posting about Harsen, our sweet baby, caught in a leg trap and who has now crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I saw a posting by his rescuer, ‘the construction worker’. I wanted to share this posting so that most of our friends could see it. For every minute that I, at times say I hate humans, there are 60 minutes when I say, ‘Thank God for Humans” Thank You, Jeffrey. You are the person that all should emulate. ~ diana

“Jeffrey Syrocki
I’m the construction worker mentioned, it breaks my heart that Harsens didn’t make it through, but theirs joy in my heart to know he is not suffering any more. This post brought me to tears!!! As I look at the cat that we rescued 2 winters ago playing and happy, waiting for me to come home and rubbing up on me and meowing. Warms my heart to see her play and be healthy. So sorry Harsens didn’t make it but maybe the next can with great people like everyone mentioned working together to help these animals. Thank God for good people who take time from their busy lives to help out!!! Thank you all and God Bless Harsens and welcome him into your arms smile emoticon God bless all the people who try and often succeed. Thank you for giving us the strength to make a difference for these dear sweet animals !!!!!”Harsen-caughtin leg trap 5:14:15

Chance – Getting Stronger Every Day

5/15/15 – chance5:15:15Please check out our baby’s page “A Second Chance for Chance” and see the amazing video of him walking. Before calling Dr. Kern, the other veterinarians who saw Chance recommended euthanizing him. They said he would never walk and his quality of life would be zero. Today he is using his litter box (with a little assistance), getting so many visitors his foster mom needs to pass out numbers (lol), he has a huge personality (as you can see from his posts), and he is starting to WALK!!! I love you Chance. ~ Aunt Di

“Ok ok mom, Im getting up! Soooo today I have an early appointment with Dr. Kern atPawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets. I just love my Dr. Kern! Im taking lots of my new toys with me to show her how good I use my back legs to do my stealth mode army crawl to sneak up on them! I’ll get my playtime, my massage, my acupuncture & laser. Yep, love me some Dr. Kern  I also love my 4 Paws 1 Heart! Without them, we dont know what would have happened to me! 4 Paws 1 Heart provides medical dollars for abused, neglected & abandoned & homeless animals. They get them better, help them find great rescues and fosters like my mom. And eventually when the purrrrfect family comes along we go to our forever homes! So please check out 4 Paws 1 Heart facebook page and give them a like!!!! Ok mom Im ready for my bath, lets get ready to go!!!! Chop chop!!! More coffee mom? Really???? Geesh!
