Pooh Had his Eye Surgery

Posted on by

10/31/24 – HAPPY HALLOWEEN UPDATE:

Backstory: Pooh showed up ON September 28 covered with fleas and having worms. The homeowner took care of that and also had him vaccinated and neutered but then she was told that he had entropion in one eye. We’ve helped cases like this in the past and this is where the eyelashes are growing inward to the eyeball and if left untreated, it will result in blindness. Pooh’s finder contacted her friend who took Pooh in and contacted us. We authorized his surgery with Orion Animal Hospital.

Update: Pooh had his eye surgery and had his sutures removed the other day. He is doing great. You can see the difference! This can only be accomplished with your donations, the great veterinary hospitals who work with us, and, of course, the rescuers. Thank you to all and if you can, please consider making a donation. I know that the economy has been hard on many of us but, unfortunately, it has hit the animal world more than any other. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Rest in Kitty Heaven, Milton

Posted on by

10/30/24 – Rest in Kitty Heaven, Milton. It was a little over two weeks ago that we were contacted about a stray boy who had been hanging around since May. Milton had what looked to be an eye infection and was limping badly. We authorized him to be seen at our partner vet, Patterson Veterinary Hospital. Yesterday, I received the following update from Jennifer, the neighbor who was assisting her neighbor with Milton. “Me and my neighbor took Milton to Patterson today and unfortunately his injuries/illness were pretty severe. The vet felt that even if we could get him through all his ailments the feline virus would eventually take him down. He would’ve needed paws amputated as his bones were exposed and constant care with medication around the clock. A lot of effort would’ve been needed and more than likely would not have saved him. Thank you so much for all you do to help save the animals. Slightly heartbroken 💔 but feel we did everything we could to help him. Unfortunately, crossing rainbow bridge was the best decision for the little guy. Again thank you for your efforts to help the animals. Milton would’ve suffered longer without your compassion. Jennifer Thank you to the many kind and loving people trying to save animals every day. The world is a better place with you in it. – diana P.S. Both Jennifer and her neighbor had tried finding an owner for Milton but were obviously unsuccessful. https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Faith and Vera

Posted on by

10/19/24 – It was in mid June when I received the following:

“A lady on Facebook reached out and said these girls had been outside for 7/8 months and said she had no way to bring them in to the house or afford to take them to the vet/shelter. She said she reached out to a bunch of rescues with no luck as well. So my husband I and went to her house and they were both sitting there waiting, it was storming so I didn’t wanna even attempt to leave them. I named them, Daisy (the calico) and Vera (the tortie) They seem to be a great duo, they love each other so much. Can you help with their medical? – Faith”

Because Faith wasn’t in the areas we have partner veterinary clinics, we worked with clinics in her community.

Because Vera appeared critical the local Animal Control took her into their emergency;

Faith did not get Vera back. We did take care of Daisy’s needs for testing and treatment for the upper respiratory infection but unfortunately not much else could be done because it turned out she was pregnant. Faith felt she could take care of whatever else was needed in the future. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Late July Mystic Showed Up

Posted on by

10/19/24 – It was late July when Mystic showed up at a friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart’s home. He was in pretty bad shape with a couple of wounds, and upper respiratory infection, fleas, and needing to be neutered and vaccinated.

He was seen at our partner, Five Mile Animal Hospital with Dr. Mina, and treated for everything needed. Mystic is since been adopted and is very loved and safe. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donaitons/

Hayden and Red

Posted on by

10/19/24 – Because donations are slow and cases for stray animals on our streets have been severe, we are on a temporary hold from assisting with new cases. Hopefully, we will be making an assessment after the first of November once we are clear of the prior commitments. Thank you for your support and if at all possible, donations will make a difference in many lives. In the meantime, we will be reporting on some of the many cases we’ve had over the past few months that have not been posted.

This Is Hayden and Red. As so many cats, they appear to have been abandoned by owners. They are estimated to be about 20 years old and already neutered/spayed; their finder is willing to bring them into her home but could not afford to take them to a clinic for vetting.

They were both examined, vaccinated, and treated at Orion Animal Hospital and will hopefully live out their final years in safety with love. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
