11/7/22 – i just want everyone to know that we are still helping orphans but because I’ve been under the weather for a few weeks, i have to admit that I’m just not up to my usual game. I will be catching up real soon but I’m the meantime, i thought I’d share the update on our boy, Chance. And, also ask for your prayers for not only Chance but our Muffins who will be going to OVRS tomorrow. Paws crossed and again thank you for your financial support. -diana

Hi everybody! So here are some pics & video from Chances appointment today at Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine . Under each pic explains what you are looking at. These are x-rays and ultrasound, but unfortunately although they do let us see some things, they don’t let see other things with soft tissue, bones and organs which is why we need the neuro scans. You can see signs of disk disease, but not if he has a herniated disk. You can see calcification in his kidneys, but you cant see if there stones imbedded or if there’s stones in his urethra. Or cancer. We just don’t know. That’s why these scans are so important. Everything obvious has been treated for and nothing is working, it has to be something we aren’t seeing. His appointment at Dogwood Veterinary Referral Center cant come soon enough. Thankyou to everyone who has donated so far to his fundraiser (link is below) – Denise

and thankyou 4 Paws 1 Heart for being there for Chance every step of his journey.

11/5/22 – Sad news for the many rescuers and the cats/dogs who need to be spayed/neutered. The All About Animals clinics are invaluable to the world of rescue. – diana.

It is with great sadness that we are unable to offer walk-in TNR in Flint.

We are actively hiring for Veterinary Technicians to get back to walk-in TNR. Know a Tech who wants to jump into supporting high-volume spay/neuter? Have them contact us! It’s rewarding knowing that every pet you prepped that day, changes their life greatly for the better, while at the same time you’ve helped prevent unwanted litters with nowhere to go.

11/5/22 – 4 paws 1 heart will help by providing any medical help needed. Humans can be so cruel but thankfully the monsters are a small fraction of the population. All of us can make a difference. – diana.

CHANCE: Good morning Team, I want to talk to you about a SuperHero. Our nextdoor neighbor is a huge animal lover and has several cats of her own. All were rescued from bad situations and seniors who’s owner passed away. She works very hard to give these fur kids a good life. Well….

our neighbor got word last week from the caretaker of a horrible situation of a kitty from a small feral colony who was very hurt and not able to walk and she used her own money to get this Kitty out to Dr. Zs. Tragically it was learned that this poor baby had been shot! The bullet was lodged in its spine, the kitty could not be saved . Since then 4 more kittys have gone missing! Our SuperHero advised mom that they are very concerned that someone is killing the kittys!!!! Jasna has set up a room in her house, traps have been borrowed and she is trying to trap the remaining 5-6 feral kittys. She has gotten 2 as of this morning and will be working to get the rest this weekend. It is believed that one she got is pregnant and another one yet to catch is also pregnant. It’s a big deal to take 5-6 feral kittys into your home when you already have rescued kittys but this is an urgent matter. Obviously trying to socialize feral kittys is a monumental if not impossible task, but our SuperHero is willing to try as most are young. Help will be needed with basic vetting, thankyou to4 Paws 1 Heart for stepping up for that, possibly finding feral sanctuary, forever homes and lots of supplies! Right now the biggest need is food. So, we have added more kitten food to our Amazon Wishlist for the pregnant mama’s not to mention the mama’s and kittens we are already helping! Our Pantry is near empty again. We need kitten wet and dry, Friskies Wet and Dry also. We will also be adding litter for Jasna as well as other supplies as she needs them. We’ve posted our Amazon Wishlist below Team and will keep you posted on these kittys, our SuperHero Jasna and their needs.

RIP Sweet Baby, we are so sorry

This came up in my memories from 4 years ago. Hercules is a foster that will always have a special piece of my heart. Watch the amazing story on the link to the video posted. Truly incredible and happy tears . He is still doing wonderful! Gina

I got to see Hercules at the People, Pets, and Vets yesterday and he definitely remembers me . He gave me so many slobbery kisses. If you don’t know the story about Hercules you should totally watch the video. It is an amazing story that will melt your heart. I fostered him from the time he was picked up from Animal Control until he went to his new forever home. Love you Hercules! – Gina

Here is the link to the YouTube video showing the story of HERCULES..

I’ve said this before but our mission doesn’t end at just funding medical treatment for stray animals. We do our best to provide resources for our rescue friends who don’t have the 501c3 (non-profit) opportunities that we are afforded. The Kitty Room at the Pet Supplies Plus on 13 and Harper in St. Clair Shores is one of those opportunities that we appreciate. A huge thank you to our Board member, Dee Brown Gudenau who coordinates this and to all of our independent rescuers who participate with their beautiful rescues. P.S. All medical treatment to get these orphans ready for adoption are covered by 4 Paws 1 Heart. – diana.

Hi all, it’s time for another meet & greet! Head up to Pet Supplies Plus – St. Clair Shores, MI – Harper Ave this Saturday 11/5/22 (not October 8th) from 1 – 3pm to play and connect with kitties who are looking for a loving home.

11/3/22 – Another friend offering a fundraiser to save the many orphans on our streets. Click on the item and it will take you to the site. – diana.

100% of the sale proceeds from these wreaths and bows you see here will be donated to help Muffins and the other animals in need at 4 Paws 1 Heart. If you didn’t see my earlier post about Muffins, be sure to scroll back and check it out.

These pieces are simply PERFECT for the cat or dog-loving home! Something just speaks to me though with that cat wreath – if you live with a cat and put up a Christmas tree, then you KNOW. That cute, original sign is another one that I snagged from Ba Bam Wreaths !!

Tree topper bows are still a hot decor item, too! These can be placed on top of your tree or on your own natural/artificial wreath this season.

I have created two of each item and they have just been listed in the shop!! Each picture has a link in the comments to the listing for more pics and a video.

Another opportunity if you are in the St Clair Shores area.

Show Me The Money Fundraiser

11/2/22 – Please remember Mittens in your prayers. A rescuer and long-time friend of 4paws1heart rescued Mittens from a porch she had been living on for 4 years. At the time she seemed to have had a stroke. She eventually got better but then lost her eyesight and we were contacted for help. Mittens was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis and the rescuer thought the loss of eyesight was a result of that. Then her eyesight recovered but throughout her journey Mittens kept having nose bleeds which would be on and off. We helped Mittens with her visits to the doctors and meds seemed to help for awhile. Recently, the severity started again and not only was her nose bleeding but her eye was also bleeding. Again, Mittens was seen by one of our partner veterinarians who did a nasal flush and prescribed meds and an ultrasound. At this point it appears that Mittens could have a cancerous tumor which is causing the problems and we will know in a couple weeks when she is seen again. Mittens has been through a lot and her caretaker doesn’t want her to go through too much more. Continued prayers for this baby. – diana.
