12/2/25 ❤️ Meet Patches ❤️

Found in Mt. Clemens, Patches was taken in by a kind compassionate Good Samaritan who asked us for help. Once seen by a vet, we learned she has parasites, needs all her vaccines, her spay, and may even suffer from painful stomatitis — requiring a biopsy and possibly full mouth extractions.

Stray animals like Patches come to us with so many unknowns… but what is known is that none of this is her fault. And she deserves a real chance at a pain-free life.

Right now, your donation is DOUBLED thanks to a generous match.
If you’d like to help Patches and support our mission:

💙 In Loving Memory of Tito 💙
A Special Donation Match to Help Stray Animals in Need

We are deeply saddened to share that our dear friend and long-time supporter, Joann, recently experienced the sudden loss of her beloved dog, Tito, to heart failure. Tito’s passing was completely unexpected and has left a void in her heart.

Tito’s story began with unimaginable hardship—he survived a house fire in 2013 and tragically lost his family. While fostering him during that difficult time, I saw firsthand his gentle spirit and resilience. It wasn’t long before he found his perfect forever home with Joann. From that day forward, they were inseparable. Tito received the love, comfort, and devotion he deserved, and he returned it tenfold.

To honor Tito’s beautiful life and the joy he brought, Joann is generously offering a $2,000 donation match to 4 Paws 1 Heart in his memory. Her hope is to turn this heartbreaking loss into something that brings healing, hope, and life to other animals who are still waiting for their chance.

For the next three weeks, Dec 1st-21st, every donation will be matched — doubling the impact you make on stray, abandoned, and injured animals who rely on us for medical care.

Tito’s legacy will live on with every animal we are able to help because of this tribute.

11/28/25 A Heartfelt Thank You 🌺

We are incredibly grateful to Maria, the owner of Antiques at Marias in Macomb, MI, for her amazing support and generosity. Through her recent fundraiser, she raised $500 for 4 Paws 1 Heart — funds that will go directly toward providing critical medical care for stray animals who deserve a second chance.

Maria’s kindness and commitment to helping vulnerable animals truly makes a difference. Community partners like her allow us to continue our mission and change lives every single day.

Thank you, Maria, for your compassion, your hard work, and your heart. 🐾💙

11/28/25 Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the cycle of suffering for unwanted animals. It not only keeps our pets healthier, but also helps prevent countless kittens and puppies from being born into homelessness or overcrowded shelters.

We have stepped in to cover the cost of spay and neuter services for these 5 kittens and mom, the impact is truly life-changing. Every sponsored surgery means fewer animals struggling on the streets, fewer litters left without care, and more resources available for those already in need.

Together, we can make a lasting difference—one spay/neuter at a time.

Here are Teddy, George, Ben, Terry, Bindy, Coal. 🩷💙 Email Teresa for questions regarding adoption. [email protected]

11/26/25 A Heartbreaking Loss: Valerie & Charlie

Last weekend, two precious 9-week-old kittens, Valerie and Charlie, gained their wings after fighting a severe illness caused by a highly contagious feline disease. Despite every effort, their tiny bodies just couldn’t overcome it.

Their rescuer, Shawn, did absolutely everything humanly possible to save them. She spent hours tending to their needs, comforting them, and making sure they never felt alone or afraid. Her dedication, compassion, and determination went far beyond what most could give. Even in their final moments, these sweet babies knew love because of her.

Losing them has left her heart incredibly heavy, and now she worries deeply for the three surviving siblings who were also exposed. The emotional weight, the fear, the time, the sleepless nights, and the financial burden that come with opening your heart and home to vulnerable animals can be overwhelming — but people like Shawn do it because every life matters.

🙏 We are asking for prayers, healing thoughts, and positivity for the surviving three kittens. They need all the strength and love our community can send.

Rest peacefully, Valerie and Charlie. You were cherished. 💜 Gina

11/25/25. Meet Sam, affectionately known as Munchkin — a 5-month-old kitten who was found outside homeless, hungry, and severely malnourished. His rescuer reached out for help, and we were able to arrange an exam at Orion Animal Hospital, along with an eye evaluation.

Sweet Sam tested positive for FIV, and the veterinarian confirmed he has mature cataracts. He recently visited an eye specialist to see if any treatment options are possible.

Please keep this little fighter in your prayers. 💛
After everything he’s endured, Sam is finally safe in a loving home where he will never be scared, hungry, or alone again.
If you would like to help towards the medical for Sam and others like him please donate.

11/24/25 This sweet little guy named "Harper" was found in the parking lot of a local pizza place in St. Clair Shores.
Kathy, the compassionate woman who found him, has been desperately trying to find his home and a rescue willing to help with a more permanent foster/placement situation.
He was pretty nervous at his first vet visit, which is understandable. This boy belongs in a warm loving home - not the cold scary streets.
Harper is not neutered, and he will need to have all the basic vetting done.
We have offered to assist with paying for that so he can get a good start to a happy healthy home.
If you would like to donate towards his surgery, please visit our link below. Thank you and have a wonderful week! Gina

11/21/25. Meet Brenda, a sweet little kitty found wandering outside with no ID. A compassionate young woman thought she might be pregnant and took her to the vet—thankfully she wasn’t, but she was in need of care and a safe place. We were able to cover her initial medical needs and get her on a healthy path.

Brenda is incredibly loving, but her finder cannot keep her. She is now urgently looking for a forever home. Located in Macomb County. Please reach out to Chelsea
