Hey there Team, mom here. Please just let me just say that the outpouring of love and support from all of you has been overwhelming! I had no idea how many people loved Chance as much as we do. Your kind words, thoughts, messages, texts and pictures those of you have sent of yourselves with Chance mean soooo very much to me. I just can’t begin to thank all of you enough for all the love, truly thank you From the very beginning 9yrs ago until his last breath yesterday Chance always wanted to do more, go faster, stand taller, walk & run and be a SuperHero..and he did!!! Then he always wanted to help others in need. He was the best big foster brother and Uncle Chance to sooo many foster kittens, cats and dogs too. He wanted to make sure all the hungry kittys…homeless, foster or just those in need had full bellys…and with your help he did!!! He wanted to make sure that homeless kittys needing medical help got the help they needed like he did. He raised thousands of dollars with your help for 4 Paws 1 Heart and he was their feline mascot. His love for others knew no bounds. Even in the end it was he, comforting me. His heart was just so big that his poor body couldn’t support it so he went on to where he could always be healthy, his spinal cord would be normal and he would be pain free. A place where he can take care of everyone he loves. We will continue his love & legacy on our page and in our lives by continuing to make sure hungry tummys are filled and homeless, abused and abandoned animals receive the medical care they need and deserve. With that being said we invite everyone who can to please celebrate Chances life by making a donation in his memory to his beloved 4 Paws 1 Heart at… https://4paws1heart.org/donation/ and please note that’s its in Memory of Chance For those who donated for Chances care yesterday, thank you so much. It will go towards his bill at the emergency hospital. Thank you. Thank you all again for your love & support. Oliver, Bridgette & Carla are taking his loss the hardest, my heart breaks for them. And no, we are not okay. But we are working on it one minute at a time. We love you all, goodnight Team P.S. Please share

Chance sure will be missed by so many. I’m glad that Chance became a part of my family and he help many others including my Lulu Belle. – Sharon

This handsome fella was found as a stray. He is super friendly and about 9 months old. We are covering his neuter and vaccines to help get him ready for a forever family. If you are interested I can put you in touch with the rescuer for more information. Thank you to our supporters because we couldn’t give animals like Panther the vetting they need without you. Isn’t he beautiful?! Gina

2/9/24- To say that all of our hearts are broken would be an understatement. We are devastated at the loss of our super hero and feline mascot, Chance. His journey, as so eloquently told by his mom and our Board member, Denise Najera, was an inspiration for all who followed him. Since his rescue 9 years ago, Chance was able to raise thousands of dollars in donations. Those dollars were used to save so many stray and broken animals just like he was at one time. Chance’s legacy will live on in all of those animals whose lives were changed because of him. Please remember Mom Denise, Aunt Shelly, and Team Chance in your prayers. Here he is with Uncle T just before being interviewed for WDIV. – diana.

We are so grateful to you Diana Rascano and 4 Paws 1 Heart for being there for our beautiful boy when he came into our life, you never left his side in 9yrs and was there for him when he took his last breath. He had a beautiful life because of you and all who donate to 4 Paws. I am eternally grateful for the 9 years of unbelievable love we were able to share with Chance and he, with all of us. His legacy will continue, we will make sure of that. Thankyou for 9yrs of the most amazing love and deep bond with our Forever SuperHero – Denise

She is going though unbareable pain right now. Chance is in heart failure. I am so sorry.. Gina

MOM: He won’t be able to have the surgery to unblock him Team. His heart failure is so bad cardiology says he would not survive the anesthesia. I can’t breathe.

Surgery went well and she is recovering with the family who didn’t turn their back. Her ear tips were removed and most of her tail was amputated. She is on some good pain meds and we are expecting a full recovery. Next, we will need to get her fixed and vaccines once she is more stable. If you would like to help Mia please put her name in the note area when donating at this link. Today’s bill was around $600.Thank you. – Gina

These three 12 week old babies and the mom were going to be tossed outside until someone stepped up. The rescuer took them into her home when they were only a few days old. She covered the costs of spay/neutering for all of them. The black kitten became sick with bloodclots in his stool and for fear of his survival we offered to help. That’s when I found out the woman needed assistance with kitten food. A call was put out on my page and the babies are fully stocked up and already gaining weight. They all need homes or a rescue. Please contact her if you can help. [email protected] Jordan. We will be covering vaccines for all of them. Gina

On Friday night I saw that 4 Paws 1 Heart was tagged many times on an emergency post. I was afraid to wait until Monday, so yesterday morning I met the rescuer of this baby at the vet. They are calling her “Mia”. She was found about 1 week ago emaciated with ice caked over her ears and tail. She is all bones. Even her nose is raw.

Her flesh is rotting on the tips of her ears and tail. A full tail amputation is needed and the tips of her ears need to be cut off where the tissue is dead. Her paw pads all have frostbite, but we are not anticipating they will require surgery.

We are still on a hold for big cases but we cannot let her suffer. The doctor at Moore Vet, Dr. Henry, started her on antibiotics and pain meds and she was kind enough to squeeze her in for surgery on Tuesday.

The estimated cost for surgery is $500-$600 and then she will need vaccines, combo test, worming, and spay surgery. About $900 when all is done. We cannot do this without the help of others. Please consider donating today. Gina

CHANCE: Gooood morning and Happy Saturday Team! We want to wish our sweet girl Trixie a Happy, Happy, 5yr Gotcha Day!!!!

Thanks to Trixies finders, City of Warren Animal Control & 4 Paws 1 Heart our sweet little old lady survived her ordeal during the polar vortex of 2019 where the temps were well below -20° outside!

Below is the post & pics from Warren Animal Control 5yrs ago! Dr. Z estimates Trixie to be about 16-17yrs old now and she’s doing amazing!!! Happy Gothcha Day Trixie, We love you!!!!!

“UPDATE:

A huge THANK YOU to Denise Najera & Michelle Van Daele for stepping up to foster this girl and 4 Paws 1 Heart for covering her medical care and taking her in!!!

Also, we finally received a photo from the vet. Here is the very lucky girl! Denise is naming her Trixie, and I’ve added a donation option to this post for anyone who can contribute to her care once she leave the ER and goes to 4P1H!

———

Very late Thursday night a citizen dropped off a cat at City of Warren Animal Control. Friday morning when our ACOs came into work they quickly realized something was wrong. She was laying in her blanket, crying loudly and unable to stand. She was immediately rushed to an ER vet for care.

Initially her body temperature was incredibly low, and she appeared to be blind. Today after finally having her temperature come back to normal, some of her vision has returned and she is responding to visual stimuli. However, it was also discovered that she has a fractured pelvis.

We suspect she was hit by a car and then dragged herself to the citizen’s yard, before almost freezing to death in this awful cold we’ve had all week. Thankfully she was found and brought to our police station.

As for her injuries; while the vet believes two of the fractures will heal on their own, the third they feel will require surgery and pins.

Currently she is on a strong dose of pain meds, she is getting round the clock care, and for the most part now seems stable. Though at this time requires some help expressing her bladder. However, the level of care she will need is something that will likely require an orthopedic surgeon.

If your rescue has the ability to take this girl in, please let us know ASAP. Warren Animal Control has gone above and beyond to make sure she received care and was stabilized, but now we really need help from our rescue partners to save this girl.

*We did not have an opportunity to get a photo of her, so in place of a photo, these are her x-rays.*”
