IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS PART I

9/12/23 – 4 Paws 1 Heart has helped with at least 3 hoarding situations. With the help of our friends at Comfort’s Place, All About Animals, and our individual veterinary partners we have been able to stop the continued overflow of the cat population and in many cases the cats and kittens have been adopted into loving homes. One of such cases was a house in SW Detroit where there were at least 12 cats and 4 kittens. The next few posts will show most of those who were helped. Thank you to Gavin and Brennan for taking this effort on. – diana

SQUEAKS

9/11/23 – Squeaks is another abandoned baby found on the streets this past summer by a very kind woman not new to rescue. She asked for our help in having Squeaks tested vaccinated, and spayed so that she could find a furever home, and that’s exactly what we did. – diana

Sorry Squeaks photo was not included. But it will be!!

BABY DUMPED IN A FIELD

9/11/23 – In early Summer this sweetheart was found after being dumped in a field in Detroit. Because of the volume of rescues with severe needs being taken care of Make A Difference Animal Rescue we were asked to help with Baby’s testing and standard medical treatment. We are thankful to be able to help some of our great rescue groups who take up the heavy load of rescuing, sheltering, and caring for the needs of animals who have been abandoned and left to fend for themselves. – diana

TESS DIED WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND NOT LONELY

9/11/23 – Tess. This beautiful baby was rescued from a hoarding situation at the start of this past weekend. It appeared she had an upper respiratory infection and was very undernourished. Plans were made to get Tess into a vet today to be treated for the infection and then at a later date to be seen at another partner vet to take care of the usual medical needs and follow up for the infection. But, unfortunately last night Tess took a turn for the worse. Rebekah, Tess’ rescuer, reported that Tess’ stomach had distended and appeared to have constipation. I wasn’t able to see this until this morning and sadly, Tess, passed away. What has been going on with these poor animals has been so disheartening and heartbreaking for the rescuers. We can only find some comfort in knowing Tess died with lots of love and not lonely, suffering on the streets. – diana

TREZZA AND SOPHIA

9/11/23 – Trezza’s story was posted in June and July and now both Trezza and Sophia are scheduled for their dental on September 20. They’ve both been through a lot and we very much appreciate the people who got involved, like Kim Thompson, who saw two animals in need and took action. We’ve supported both through their journey and we pray that just the dental surgery will be the answer for Trezza and that she does not have cancer. But, if we do get the worst news, Kim is committed to giving Trezza her best life in the years she has left. – diana

Sophia is at Orion animal hospital for her dental consult thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart. Sophia has a broken and cracked canine tooth and some others that may need to come out. This sweet momma is estimated to be 5 to 6 years old and came from Detroit with 4 girl babies all badly infested with fleas that sadly was the cause of the torti baby passing

They are also helping with a dental and a biopsy on Trezza that came to me back in early May with what was thought to be a broken jaw. Trezza still has the lump at the back of the left side of her jaw and still drools alot. Shes estimated to be 7 to 8 years old but looks alot older.

If anyone can donate to 4paws1heart to help with these 2 sweethearts it’s greatly appreciated. Just put a note that it’s for Sophia and Trezza please. – Kim

ATHENA’S STORY

9/9/23 – Posted on 9/7/23 and today I received this update from her rescuer:

“Hi Diana! Athena’s wound has healed to just a scabbed scar! She does not need any more treatment for it. Isn’t that amazing?

Thank you for paying for that big visit. The four bandage appointments after were only 20 or 30$ so I paid for those myself. I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for 4 paws and all of your help with all the stray cats and dogs. Here is a photo of Athena from yesterday. She is learning to trust again and now she has her sister with her.

P.S. Her tail looks different because it is all broken up and part of it was broken off but it is all healed. So she has half a tail and if you touch it you can feel all the bent and twisted bones. But it doesn’t seem to hurt. Thank you again!! Jennifer”

And, as always, a huge thank you to the many caring people who never turn their backs to an animal in need. – diana
