7/24/18 – Ralph Livingston was one of those rescued from the streets.
A woman who works at a local pet resort was told to contact us about a very sweet cat who, obviously, found the right person to “rub up to”. He was meowing his head off; very emaciated, hot, hungry, a large abscess on his body, and appearing partially deaf. We were happy to help this very sweet cat who was either an escapee or abandoned. He is on the road to recovery and receiving lots of love and care with his new family. Donations can be made through the donations link on this page or the website 4paws1heart.org. ~ diana
Riot – Continues Fight to Live
7/23/18 – Riot Update – This is as of last night. Riot’s white blood cell count has gone up which is a good thing. Unfortunately, she may need plasma in that her protein levels dropped. Her temperature was still normal but she is still having issues with vomiting and diarrhea. Please understand that because we are no longer financially responsible for Riot, we are leaving all contacts with the veterinary hospital with Riot’s medical sponsor. ~ diana
7/25/18 – Riot Update. As of yesterday, Riot is stable. She has eaten some baby food but unfortunately still has diarrhea. A huge thank you to our friends who were able to take on Riot’s medical care so that we could continue helping the many others who come to us for help. ~ diana
Jasmine – Rescued Having a Severe Upper Respiratory Infection
7/23/18 – This very sweet kitty, Jasmine, was rescued from the streets with an upper respiratory infection. As many of our friends know from following us, these infections, left untreated, will eventually lead to eye removals, if not worse. Thank you to our friends, Debra Berolatti and Jo Sweeney Addington for saving this sweetheart. Anyone interested in adopting her should contact Jo at: [email protected]
Riot – Continues to Fight the Fight
7/22/18 – Riot Update: Riot’s feeding tube has been removed and she is feeding from a syringe. Her white blood cell count has gone up although still below normal. She is taking her oral meds and if she continues on this trend, she may be able to go home in 48 hours. She needs to eat on her own and be able to hold the food down. Thank God for the ‘Village’. ~ diana
Rosie Roo – Found Wandering the Streets at Over 15 Years Old
7/22/18 – It was December, 2016 when Rosie Roo, at 15 (?) years old was found wandering the streets with no one claiming her. Shortly after, she had 20 teeth removed. She is a senior girl who was so lucky to find her way into the heart of the Chance Team as well as mine. She is the very sweetest and we are so very thankful that she is able to live out the rest of her life with much love and care. ~ diana

Riot – Continues His Fight Against the Parvo Virus
7/20/18 2:10 pm UPDATE: Thank you to all who have donated to Riot’s care. I’m relieved to report that another member of our ‘Village’ has agreed to take on future medical bills for Riot which may require days of hospitalization. Unfortunately, our organization was just not capable of that kind of potential commitment. But, rest assured, that all of the dollars donated for her care will be used for what has thus far been incurred. I have been assured that everything is being done to help Riot get through this horrendous virus. -diana
7/20/18 – Continue Prayers for Riot. Just spoke with the doctor and Riot’s condition is not promising. Her diarrhea is worse and the doctors expect her to need hospitalization for days. We will continue to be in close touch with the hospital. To be very honest, I don’t know what to do because as a non-profit with limited funds, I have to consider the many other animals who continue to need our help. Although very difficult to accept, you can understand why municipal shelters like Detroit Animal Control and others have to make that very difficult decision to euthanize a parvo positive puppy. I will keep everyone updated. ~ diana
7/21/18 – Riot Update: She is holding her own and fighting hard. The good news is that her temperature is holding and her white blood cell count, although dangerously low, has held the same over 24 hours. Over the first couple days, it was dropping steadily. Please continue your prayers and positive energy for this baby. She is getting the best care possible. ~ diana
Nino – Found in an Abandoned Home
7/20/18 – Another victim of abuse. Nino was rescued from an abandoned home. He was very malnourished and obviously lacking love. He is now getting the vet care that he needs and is safe. ~ diana
Riot – Fighting the Parvo Virus
Update: just found out Riot is a girl.
7/19/18 – Dear Friends, It’s been one stressful day for not only me, but our rescuers, and our poor little boy, Riot. We need your prayers and anything you can afford to donate. In fact, a supporter has offered to MATCH up to $1,000 in donations between now and next week, Friday, July 27, 2018 to help us with the two parvovirus dogs we took on over the past week. Please help by donating at: http://4paws1heart.com/
RIOT Update: After 24 hours in emergency, Riot was moved to a day practice in hopes of getting him appropriate medical treatment at less of a cost. As you know, it’s imperative that we not only think about the animal but we have to watch our expenses. Unfortunately, it was not too long when I realized that I made a mistake and should have kept this sweet boy at the emergency. So, off he went again to the Emergency hospital. Riot’s white cell levels have been consistently dropping but we still have hope. Little did I know that puppies have less of a chance of beating parvo because they are already starting out with a very limited immune system. He is now having a feeding tube installed while getting fluids and other drugs. Please say a prayer, send some positive energy, and, if you can donate what you can by using the donate link on the left side of this page. Thank YOU, diana
Simba – After Months of Trying, He Was Finally Caught and Neutered
7/19/18 – The rescuer had been trying to trap two cats since May and finally got Simba. Unfortunately, the other cat was scared off by fireworks so he (Smokey) is still a work in progress. Simba will no longer be responsible for babies and we just pray that his buddy will be trapped soon.
