11/4/18 – Update on Halloween kitten..
Yesterday the wound on his chest looked much better, he is eating on his own, and he is getting stronger. Our organization had a booth over at MCC center campus and I brought this little guy along because he is a perfect example if our mission. If we didn’t pay for medical for stray animals like this they would most often just be put to sleep.. That is the reality of it..and its because of our supporters that this little guy is here today.
At the event we made a list of name suggestions from the little kids that passed through and pet this baby. Please vote on your favorite name. * Skully, Spirit, Tiny, Piper, Boo, Demi, Pumpkin, Lenny, Shadow, Oreo, Moonlight, Lucky, Sox, Mittens, Jack black, Fluffy, Cupcake, Max, Spooky, Bones, Mummy, Saber, Jack, Frankie, Star, Spice, Binkx, Black jack, Black panther, William*.

11/4/18 – Little Grey showed up in a cat community be cared for near a local restaurant. The security guard noticed that he kept crying and seemed to be walking with difficulty. We had Little Grey seen by one of our vets who noticed that the little guy’s paws were raw. Little Grey was provided with antibiotics and was eventually vaccinated, tested, and neutered — all complements of 4 Paws 1 Heart and our great supporters. What would all of these abandoned and abused dogs and cats do without our Village?? ~ diana

Halloween baby update..
Things have just taken a little bit of a turn 🙁 I just noticed that the area on his chest appears to be infected and the skin is starting to slough off. There is a chest wound about 2.5 inches long and 1 inch wide that might be road rash or a burn from a car. He might have been up in the engine area trying to keep warm. He feels feverish. Thank God I happen to have antibiotics, burn cream, and bandage material. I gave some fluids under the skin for hydration, bandaged his chest wound, gave him antibiotics and pain meds.🙁 Now he is resting comfortably in my lap. This little guy has a LOT going on, but he will get through this, Gina

11/1/18 Update on Halloween kitten..
Today he has made baby steps of improvement. He is less painful and definitely more alert. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if I’d wake up to a deceased kitten and I was so relieved when he was looking up at me with those big beautiful eyes this morning.. He can sit up and stand today, but he can’t walk yet. He is not weight bearing on his right rear, and I think he has some broken ribs. Yesterday he was in shock and I was really worried he might be paralyzed or bleeding internally. I’m syringe feeding because his appetite isn’t great. He is also on a handful of other treatments ( stool softener, topical antibiotics, anti inflammatory, pain medication, and fluids). He is very delicate, but I’m hoping that every day he gets stronger. The prayers DO work. Thank you all and I’ll update tomorrow. Gina

11/1/18 Happy Update! – You might remember that little Billy had several breaks requiring FHO surgery (find his journey on our website4paws1heart.org). He is now in his forever home with a great family. – diana

Prayers needed for a baby who needs all the prayers he can get right now.
On this Halloween, I took an injured stray kitten home from work. He has what looks like road rash or a burn on his belly, some bruising, and some internal trauma, and he can’t stand. Not sure what happened, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see him pull through! 🙁 4 paws 1 heart will cover all medical needed, but as of right now he needs pain meds and time to heal within. I’m hoping by morning I will see some baby steps of improvement. I will not force him to suffer, and I cannot expect him to make a miraculous recovery overnight. Just looking for baby steps in the right direction. Paws crossed..
