6/20/15 – Ronan Update. Months ago, 4 paws 1 heart took this beautiful boy in, and we covered his initial medical treatment. Then, he went to a wonderful rescue out of state that specializes in placement for Malamute/Northern breed dogs. I am extremely happy to report that Ronan is in a forever home now. This is one hell of an awesome dog, and it appears he has an AWESOME new home! Huge thanks to those involved in helping make this happen!♡ Gina

The Kittens of Summer – 2015
6/17/15 – What a day yesterday was!! It just never seems to end — no matter how many cats we have paid to have neutered and spayed, the kittens roaming the streets this season has been overwhelming. Here are two more who came to our attention yesterday. The first is Binx. Megan from Friends of Scooby, who we’ve helped with medical bills in the past, contacted me about a beautiful black kitten who fell out of the hood of her grandparents’ car. The poor little guy seemed to have a big lump around his anus. We agreed to pay for the medical and our good friend, Patricia D., offered to take him in. The little guy is only 3 weeks old and was sent home with some medication and stool softener.
The grey baby showed up on a porch. His eyes were a little crusted shut and the person who contacted us was worried because the mom hadn’t been seen in days. The baby was crying on her porch but she has three large dogs. Late last night, this kind woman met up with our great friend, Patricia B., who will take this little 3-week old into her home with her current brood of kittens. This baby will be vetted and treated complements of 4 Paws 1 Heart.
Thank You – Without Our Friends We’d Be Nothing!
6/16/15 – A HUGE Thank You goes out to 4 Paws 1 Heart friends, Luke and Jenny Haddad. This is the second year they have chosen 4 Paws 1 Heart to receive the proceeds from their annual Washers Tournament. We were so pleased to meet all of the participants on Sunday. And, even though there were torrential downpours, over 40 people showed up to compete and to help the animals of 4 Paws 1 Heart. With the money raised, we will be able to spay and neuter 15 cats at Rescue Veterinary Services. Consider this, one female can start reproducing at 4 months old and can have 3 litters averaging 3 to 7 kittens. AND, this cycle can continue for almost the entire life of the female. Let’s assume that this females lives on the streets, un-spayed, for 5 years and averages 5 kittens in each litter, three times a year. That equals 75 kittens born on the streets from just one female who will go on to continue the same cycle if left untouched. It isn’t difficult to calculate the significant impact that this caring group of people will make because of their generosity. Once again, thank you Luke, Jenny, and the Washers Teams. ~ diana
