Any Help for Asher is Greatly Needed and Appreciated

Posted on by

8/11/24 – Unfortunately, we don’t know what is wrong with Asher. A lot has happened since he was found a month ago. He got over what we think was toxoplasmosis and now he has a painful swelling in his front right elbow. I spent a large portion of Friday talking with doctors from 4 different hospitals.

He may need to go to an internal medicine specialist or orthopedic both of which we cannot afford.. Tomorrow we will be adding in another antibiotic that has to be special ordered. He is on pain and anti inflammatory meds. This could be an infection in the bone or joint but he is not responding to the antibiotic that treats bone infection. He is very painful.

Any help for Asher is greatly needed and appreciated. https://4paws1heart.org/donations/ Gina

Continuing to Help in Making a Difference

Posted on by

8/10/24 – Continuing to help in making a difference in the lives of the abandoned, stray, and abused. Each year seems to be the worst when it comes to the dangers so many strays face and this year is no different. It certainly takes a Village and without your donations babies like these would die on the streets. Thank you to everyone involved. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Smoke Appears to Have Been Dumped

Posted on by

8/10/24 – Smoke appeared to have been ‘dumped’ and was being fed by a friend of 4 paws 1 heart. This past week he showed up with an abscess on his cheek. He was taken to our partner veterinary hospital,

Groesbeck Animal Hospital, where he had extensive blood work and treated for the abscess, and infection. When the infection is cleared he will be vaccinated, tested, and neutered.

Our friend found a great home for this very sweet boy who loves attention. – diana https://4paws1heart.org//donations/

Posey, Lily, Ginja, and Bowie have found homes

Posted on by

8/7/24 – UPDATE: Posey, Lily, Ginja, and Bowie have found homes with Lisa’s family members and they will take care of their vetting when appropriate. As the other three our bonding to Lisa and each other, the remaining three may be foster failures.

It started with an email from Heather of the Kitty Catfe. Heather reported that a man in Detroit, who had multiple litters of kittens, couldn’t feed them and they were dying. He was posting videos. He let 15 cats go in the woods. Two had died in less than a few days and 7 were left.

Based on Heather’s facebook post someone went to the site and rescued the seven. That person contacted Heather and said she was willing to foster them but asked for Heather’s help in placement; unfortunately, the KItty Catfe is still looking for a permanent place and their fosters are filled so all but they will help in promoting them.

The rescuer, Lisa, then asked if Heather knew of any organization who could help with medical and that’s where we stepped in. This is Lily, Posey, Batman, Tini, Ginja, Bowie, and Bones. All were very thin with fleas and Tini and Bones appeared to need special care. Tini needed to be seen by one of our partner vets because she was so dehydrated otherwise all are waiting to be ready for their full vetting which we hope will be done at the Humane Society of St. Clair (SNAP). – diana https:4paws1heart.org/donations/

Met Wym … Blind, Stray and Injured

Posted on by

8/6/24 – Meet Wym. It was about one month ago when a very kind couple saw a cat almost get hit by a car. The car swerved around her and she didn’t even flinch. The couple was able to capture her and discovered that she “had no eyes”.

The couple felt they just couldn’t leave her on the streets in her condition so they brought her home to live in their backyard. The other day when going out to feed her they noticed an “abscess on her cheek” which was very swollen.

We agreed to help with medical as long as the couple guaranteed that very sweet Wym would be kept inside from now on. They promised to give her a furever home.

Wym will be going to our great friends at Five Mile Animal Hospital. Update to follow. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many orphans.

Pickles Scavenging around a Dumpster at a local Rams Horn

Posted on by

8/5/24 – This very sweet boy was seen scavenging around a dumpster at a local Rams Horn. Fortunately, she got him into her car and later contacted us. This poor boy, Pickles, was so matted that he cringed when touched.

He was taken to our partner vet Groesbeck Animal Hospital where the amazing staff shaved him to comfort. I talked with the staff and they told him that he is the sweetest and that his skin was, fortunately, in great condition.

Any further medical needs will be taken care of by 4 Paws 1 Heart. There was not a microchip and an owner could not be found.

Tomorrow I will post his ‘after’ photo. – diana https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

Animals choose to come into our lives.

Posted on by

8/5/24 – My sister shared this and I thought our many supporters might appreciate it. – diana Https://4paws1heart.org/donations/

“Animals choose to come into our lives. They are part of our karma and we are part of theirs. Sometimes they are found “abandoned” or wandering, in the middle of a road or in danger in the heart of the night; other times they are found at the front door of the house, as sent by fate; other times they arrive from loved ones, neighbors or strangers.

Animals were already in our karma at least. In this life, as in the others. According to Brian Weiss, the same animal often incarnates itself several times during our lifetime, simply changing shape and coat, and being recognized by small gestures, details and subtle habits. This is clearly seen with cats.

When a “new” animal enters our house and knows exactly where to go, it’s a sign that it simply says back. Many people, at the moment of death, receive the soothing vision not of a deceased relative, but rather of an animal. This means a lot. Because for our soul there is no difference between one species and another.

Animals are in our evolutionary path just like we are in theirs, for this reason we must respect them as sacred creatures and take the greatest care of them. They are part of us, in a different form of the universe.”

Gina’s Foster Fluffy

Posted on by

8/3/2024 – I have been treating my sweet little foster dog, Fluffy, for a desmetoseal ulcer in his left eye and it was looking like it was almost healed.

Unfortunately, his eye ruptured on Thursday morning and Thank God I was able to get him right in for surgery to remove the eye. Huge thank you to Dr Hilton at Moore Veterinary Hospital!!! Fluffy was doing well with the every 2 hours meds around the clock, but the eye was just to fragile from the damage.

This week we will have to recheck his tear production in the better eye and possibly add in a new medication. Between his meds, lab work, surgery, food, basic necessities, and his follow up care it’s all adding up. If you are interested in donating towards Fluffy I have posted our link.

Thank you💗 Gina https://4paws1heart.org/donations/
