An emaciated stray pit bull was in my neighbors yard. A veterinarian on her way to work stopped and we put the incredibly sweet and very emaciated pit bull into her car where she took him to work with her and helped him. 4 paws 1 heart took responsibility for his vet care, including heart worm treatment, and placed him into a foster home. His foster mom named him Seal. Today he is well fed and has gained weight and is being treated for several health conditions. I love this organization and intend to dedicate my 2026 charitable contributions to them. Also, God Bless Dr. Cynthia Henry who is involved with 4P1H for stopping to put him in her car and save him.
This charity is the absolute best!
Everyone truly loves helping these animals!
A stray came into my life and I wouldn't have been able to save him without 4 paws 1 heart.
When I first moved here to Detroit, I couldn't help but notice how many feral/abandoned cats were in my neighborhood. Of course I started leaving food for them. More and more came to eat. Many were sick and injured. Several died before I found 4paws1heart. Searching through the internet is when I found 4paws1heart. They have helped me with vet bills many times. My colony has stabilized at 11 cats. Because of 4paws1heart they are all spay/neutered and have their shots. Without 4paws1heart many would've died from simple infections because I can't afford vet bills. Thank you 4paws1heart for all you do.

I started caring for feral and stray cats that wander into my backyard. More and more keep coming to the feeding. I take them to a non profit for spay/neuter and shots but I can't afford to take them to a vet if they have health problems. I found 4paws1heart by chance on google. I'm so grateful for the help Diana has provided for the many cats that join my colony. Without her, they would just die of simple infections because I can't afford it. 4paws1heart has helped with eye problems, ear problems, digestion problems and many other issues that the cats have when they first join my colony. Most of them are malnourished when they first start coming. Getting regular healthy meals helps a lot but there are other issues that need a vet care and I can't afford that. Thank you for all you do 4paws1heart.
In January 2013, as the temps were dropping, our neighbor moved & left his cat (Moe) behind with people that didn't want a cat. So, those jerks put Moe outside without shelter. We set up a shelter for Moe on our porch, where we fed him & gave him a safe place to rest. We searched for someone that could take him him, as we already had 2 other cats & really didn't have plans to take in a 3rd. As the temps started to drop below zero, we knew that we had to bring him into the house. We took him to the vet hospital, to get checked out. This is where we met Gina, who told us all about 4 Paws 1 Heart & how they help out with medical expenses for abandoned, abused or stray animals. She was able to get us hooked up with all the tests & vaccines that he needed, which made our decision to keep him a little easier. Since our first experience w/ 4 Paws 1 Heart way back then, we've done what we can to support them, when we're able. They have an awesome annual bowling fundraiser & do some other stuff throughout the year to raise funds. I believe what they do is so very important, in helping animals that may not have had a chance otherwise. We only got to be Moe's humans for 4 short years, but I believe that those are 4 years more than he would have had, if he'd been left alone on the streets. I know times are tough all around, but any little bit helps. If you're looking for a charity to donate to, please consider 4 Paws 1 Heart!
I reached out to 4 Paws 1 Heart over the holidays and received a quick response. I had a cat show up on my porch three weeks ago (I think it was the birds I was feeding that drew him in), so I kept him fed and provided a warm cat house. I learned the cat had recently been dumped by the previous owner for financial reasons after I posted pictures on my community’s lost pets Facebook page. The previous owner said his name was Jack. Unable to keep him, a friend referred me to 4 Paws and within a week, Jack was examined, received all of his vaccinations, and neutered, all provided by 4 Paws. Jack is now recovering in a warm house and receiving lots of love and pets in his new foster home while waiting to be adopted out. Thank you 4 Paws 1 Heart for your generosity.

The sweet little kitty showed up on my porch with mats and his fur and an eye infection. I reached out to 4 Paws 1 Heart for help and they authorized a vet visit with everything he needed. We were able to get him shaved, drops for his eyes, treatment for a UTI, and got him tested and vaccinated. He is feeling much better now! His fur is growing out well and he is sharing a room with another rescue his age. They became fast friends and are going to be put up for adoption as a bonded pair as soon as the other one gets his canines extracted, which 4 Paws 1 Heart is also helping me with.
10/10!! Ms.Diana is absolutely amazing. We found a dog in Detroit that was skin and bones, weighed 47lbs when we found him. His hip bone was sticking out of his skin, he had a face fungi, and heartworms. This poor guy was days away from not seeing another day. I reached out to 4Paws and they agreed to get him in to see a vet and pay for his heartworms treatment that we could not afford. He now weighs 102lbs - yes, double his weight!! He is healthy & estimated to be 11 years old (we’ve had him for 5 years now). Thanks to 4Paws1Heart, we have a life long friend. So incredible grateful!!
I started donating with 4Paws1Heart when I heard the first story about Hercules. I knew nothing about them and I donated and my relationship from them has grown. I support them as often as I can. All of the money goes to help the animals. Nothing goes toward any type of support for the organization. I cannot say enough about this organization and would encourage everyone to support them. Cindy Clissold
I have adopted a few cats that were medically sponsored by 4P1H. They are such a great organization. They help so many sick, abandoned animals. We also love Gina. I am not sure how she finds time to help so many people and animals. She definately has a heart of gold!

It takes a village!
4 paws 1 heart is definitely a village! They have helped so many animals throughout the years, from TNR to bottle feeding and finding forever homes. They are very active on social media and helping as many animals that they can.
I have been fortunate enough to adopt a few cats that they have helped. A couple of them were on deaths door and are now living their best lives indoors! Gina is truly an angel!
Tiny, an 8oz. black kitten, came from a litter of 7 who were twice her size, had no energy to keep up with them. I contacted 4 Paws 1 Heart, specifically Gina, for help. She listened to Tiny’s story and took action to help me get the proper medicine and care that was needed. Working in conjunction with Moore Veterinary Hospital, Tiny is putting on weight and has energy to keep up with her siblings. God bless you Gina for all your help. Tiny’s hero.❤️
This organization saved my cat's life when everywhere else turned us down. They're kindness compassion and communication meant so much to me. I will forever be grateful to 4Paws1Love and never forget the Love they showed me and my cat.
4paws1heart is such a wonderful caring organization. From the very first fundraiser I went to I knew I had found the organization helping animals that I wanted to support forever!! This group is made up of the most wonderful amazing people, & you always feel so welcome at their events. They have helped me by funding the medical for 4 kittens from a terrible hoarding situation. They have since all gotten great homes. There are so many stray cats roaming the streets, & if it wasn’t for 4paws1heart funding spays & neuters & vaccines, & also surgeries for the injured these poor animals would be euthanized, because shelters only keep the healthy ones. So many animals are healthy, & happy in wonderful homes because of this fantastic organization. If you want to donate for animals you can trust that your donation will go directly to helping them. This group is made up of wonderful volunteers. There is no shelter overhead either. Depending on the need there will always be a wonderful volunteer to help by fostering. If an animal can be helped then 4paws1heart will be there, & they will never have it euthanized. That is how donations should be spent…saving animals! I love this group, & everyone in it. You will too!❤️
I am Gina, Co founder of 4 Paws 1 Heart. This organization means so much to me because I live my life based on our mission.
As a veterinary technician and board member I spend my days advocating for animals, providing medical care, educating the public, networking with individuals in the field, consoling owners who are grieving, bottle feeding orphans, fostering, helping change animal welfare ordinances for the better, and striving to assist in alleviating animal suffering.
4 paws 1 heart is not just a board I sit on. The mission of this organization was a dream that became a reality. Not only do we change one life at a time by giving strays a 2nd chance, but we impact everyone around them from the friendship, loyalty, and unconditional love they bring into our lives.

In July I found a kitten crawling across my lawn. He couldn't walk. I posted on Facebook that I needed help with finding out what was wrong with him, and I didn't have the funds to pay for his medical bills. I first took him to a er vet to diagnose him. They said he has neurological problems and possibly has Toxoplasmosis. I posted again on fb looking for a rescue to help pay for his medical bills and help with his treatment.
4 paws 1 heart stepped up to help. Gina who's a Veterinary Technician and works for 4 paws 1 heart, got ahold of me and asked what was going on with the kitten. I told her what was going on, so she made an apt for me where she works. The kitten could not walk and needed his bladder expressed 4 times a day. He was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis, which caused all his neurological problems. He was then put on a strong antibiotic. He was on that for about 2 months. He couldn't be around other cats, because it's contagious. So he had to stay in a crate for 2 months. He became better after about 2 months.
Then he started to develop a limp on his right front leg. They did xrays to see what was going on. In about a week his leg started swelling and developed into a abscess. They cleaned up the abscess. It healed up. Then he couldn't extend his leg straight out to walk, or put it down. All this time he is still in his crate. They took sum more xrays. They found that he had a infection in his bone and it was getting eaten away. So now he needed his right front leg amputated because of the bone infection. They amputated his leg. He got his sutures out in September. He is now running around living his best life.
He hasn't stopped playing with his little sister. No more crate for Asher.
Without 4 paws 1 heart rescue this kitten would not have gotten the medical help he so needed. Thank you Gina and 4 paws 1 heart rescue your the greatest. Thank you so much.
4 Paws 1 Heart Have majorly helped me a few times when I have found a stray cat. I did not have the money to get the cats vetted and with injuries. They stepped up to do what others would not and I am forever grateful.
I thank 4 Paws 1 heart so much. I had 2 feral baby cats that they help me to spay and neuter them, as well as their shots and de-fleaing! I would never have been able to save them without this organization! Special shout out to Gina, she helped so much. She is a very loving person. This place is amazing! They truly love and care about every single animal!!
4paws1heart has always been there for me.
Starting with the medical they paid for our beloved cat Soup years ago when he was found injured and with a soup can stuck on his head.
They funded spay and neutering for several kittens that we have found over the years.
The board members have always been there for me, loaning me live traps, cat food, and helping me with feral cats.
This organization is a blessing to so many animals, I can never thank them enough.

We adopted our pup from 4 paws 1 heart. She was neglected as a puppy and 4 p1 h rescued her. She is without a doubt the best dog we’ve ever had so when we saw our neighbors dog being neglected we contacted Gina from 4p 1h for help. Even though they were limited because of so much need and low on funds, they stepped in and rescued him. His is a sad story with a happy ending as are many of their rescues.
Needless to say this organization makes a difference in so many lives that I will always be a fan.
Thanks 4 paws 1 heart.
I am an independent rescuer. I met Gina When I helped a wonderful women named Marybeth help bring home her cat home named soup. Since meeting Gina, 4+ one heart Is my number one organization to try to help the best I can. They work with so many of us independent people that are trying to help lost injured cats and dogs. I’m sure they get just as overwhelmed as everybody else, but they work so hard to help every animal that they can. One call One text One email and they’re there to help!
My dear friend found a stray male 7-month cat outside her house and contacted 4 paws 1 heart for medical care. 4 paws 1 heart kindly vaccinated, dewormed, and neutered the handsome gray kitty! I fell In love and decided to take him home! This nonprofit provides medical care and treatment for stray and injured animals. I highly Recommend supporting them!

I work along side one of the board members and get to watch and experience firsthand the compassion and love poured into getting medical care for sick, abandoned, and stray animals.
Veterinary bills can add up, as many people with pets know.
4 paws 1 heart are able to pay for the medical bills of the animals found without love with the help of our community! They deserve to be recognized as the team dedicates time, day and night, to promptly answer phone calls and text messages to people that found an animal in need of help!
4 paws 1 heart has paid over 1.2 million dollars in veterinary bills, and gave so many animals a second chance at life.
I have been able to help and save the lives of multiple stray dogs and cats with the help of Diana and the 4 Paws 1 Heart Organization. I don't know what it is, but displaced and injured animals seem to find me and I cannot turn a blind eye. I always reach out to try and find intake from a rescue, and sometimes I do. Most times, however, rescues are full and medical cases or animals that need full vetting are hard to find placement for. Diana has always exceeded what I asked for to make sure that not only were the medical needs cared for, but that the stray was also spayed/neutered and vaccinated as well. The most recent case was a dog left behind by my neighbor. His name is Diego and he ended up being Heartworm positive. Diana helped me finish up his treatment and it looks like Diego might have a forever home now. There was also Frank. A cat that showed up in my backyard with a rotten tail. My plan was to attend to his medical needs and find him a rescue. However, Frank is still here with me. Without the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart, I am not sure what the outcome would have been for either of them. I have written other places for help and most of the time I do not even receive a response. I not only appreciate the work that Diana does, but her kindness, generosity and responsiveness behind it.
Sami, The Snowball
It was a hot summers evening in 2024 when my friend found Sami, a kitten so tiny he couldn’t feed himself. His fur was a sticky mess, and he was visibly unhealthy. But there was something about those deep blue eyes – a glimmer of hope, perhaps – that made her pause. She knew we had to help him. Sami however, was not alone; he had a host of unwanted tenants. From worms to fleas and lices, this feline was a walking petri dish. It was clear that his very life, how short it may had been on the streets had was unkind to him, but we were determined to change that. My friend had contacted Diane at 4 Paws to see what could be done. An appointment was made and after a quick trip to the closest veterinary. After a series of X-rays and test, it was discovered Sami had a few health issues including chemical burns to his tail, paws and atop of his head. Sami’s treatment wasn’t too long which included some medications and a whole lot of love. Slowly but surely, Sami transformed from a small, scared and fragile baby into a gentle and lovable companion. After a few months, his fur regained its luster, his eyes sparkled with life, and most importantly, he was healthy. If it wasn’t for Diane and 4Paws, I don’t know if he would have survived…so from the bottom of my heart, thank you 4 Paws
I am an independent animal rescuer and I fund my rescue efforts out of pocket. Occasionally, the animals I rescue have more involved health concerns that I can’t afford. Anytime I’ve reached out to 4Paws for support, they’ve been there for me. They truly are a great non profit!

In January of 2021, I was contacted by a person in Detroit who I often help with stray animals. He had been feeding a young female cat and he noticed her feet were terribly wounded. We presumed she was caught/burned in a car engine. I had just drained my bank account on another stray and needed help with funds. I contacted 4P1H and Diana immediately played a vet visit. We discovered kitty was already spayed and must have been displaced or discarded. Her feet were hard to look at and we thought she might lose a foot or two. With the expert help of the vet, we began the process of treating her wounds. She spent the next month in my bathroom getting foot baths and meds and she made great progress! Long story short, her name is now Onyx and she’s alive and well in a loving home.
Thank you Diana and 4 Paws 1 Heart!
Not only am I a proud board member of this amazing organization, but I have also been a recipient of their help- From 100's of kitties that I have TNRed (trap-neutered-return) to stop more kitties being born, they sponsored so many of my kitties I have rescued off the streets, and let us not forget about dogs....Look at this poor baby....he was skin and bones - now he is a big handsome dude! All of this with 4 Paws 1 Hearts help! Thank you for helping us save so many animals!
We adopted Peanut Spring of 2011 with help from Gina DeLuca Jenio from 4 Paws 1 Heart. Our Peanut was nearly starved to death when they rescued him! We submitted an application on-line and we were elated when we were accepted. When Gina brought him to our home, Peanut was a happy and healthy pup. Peanut has been an exceptional addition to our family. He’s a great “Snow-bird-dog”, living 6 months in Michigan and 6 months in Florida with us!
Five years ago I found a kitten with a broken leg in the shrubs. I reached out to 4Paws1❤️ for help with his neuter. I had no idea how this one email would change the trajectory of my life. We have fixed over 100 cats and kittens not only in my neighborhood, but in Saint Clair Shores, Roseville, and Detroit.
Marzapan was found by a neighbor’s nephew. When they called me he was dying. When one volunteer came to help me get him to ER, another volunteer said bring him for vet care, and another said put him in the kitty room. I have never met a more compassionate group of individuals as the volunteers for 4Paws1❤️.
So when I saw a neighbor reach out for help for 4 cats that were thrown out of their home after their owner went into assisted living. I felt confident going to get them and get them care. I was confident to help because I have this village of empowerment and courage behind that decision. I am grateful to 4Paws1❤️ for not only helping with medical but for the amazing village I am a part of.
Dee got me immediate help when I saw little Stephen hiding underneath a propane cage in front of CVS. Her husband drove up immediately and helped me capture him. Rick took Stephen, and Dee got him the care he needed from 4 Paws. I remember Dee telling me she could tell his diet was consisting of shrubs while living in the streets. She helped care for him and found him a home! Without 4 Paws, Stephen wouldn’t be living the great life he is now. ❤️
While doing TNR earlier this year, I came across Jack - the sweetest cat ever who lived an obviously rough life. A vet visit determined he had stomatitis. His mouth was so painful, he could hardly eat. The dental appointment was scheduled and I set out to find a way to cover the costs of a full dental extraction. I reached out to many rescues who were unable to help, so when I received an email from 4Paws1Heart stating they could help this sweet boy, I was ecstatic. Unfortunately, two days after his mouth surgery, he developed a severe infection. I took him to an emergency vet and his prognosis was grim. They suggested hospitalization, but did what they could with the funds I had. I thought for sure I signed his death warrant when I took him home that night. I reached out to 4Paws1Heart again that night with little hope since hospitalization was so costly. Again, they stepped up! I took him to one of their amazing veterinarians they work with, and they immediately hospitalized him. For five days they kept him, gave him everything he possibly needed, and 4Paws1Heart footed the bill. It was a long road to recovery, and he still has a little more healing to do, but here we are several months later and Jack, the most gentle, loving cat I've ever known is still with us and thriving. He's living the best life he's always deserved, after 8 years of being failed by humans. He's happy, healthy, and alive all thanks to 4Paws1Heart. I am forever grateful to Diane and everyone at 4Paws1Heart for saving Jack and all the other animals they've helped over the years. Jack was worth saving. I hope they're able to continue with saving many more lives.
This stray cat was bit in its tail by a coyote. I'm reached out to 4pawsv1 heart. I transported him to the vet in St Clair shores. The vet surgical procedure saved the cats tail. Long story short his recovery mom kindra had him for awhile in his healing process. Her son named him meisha. A friend of her's adopted the cat.
Thank you 4 paws1heart for all you do for these helpless animals.
Sincerely

4 paws 1 heart has helped me many times with the feral cats I take care of . I have one cat cali she had the boat babies. She is still thriving outside and I have been feeding her for about 6 yrs. The kids I have inside were trapped and fixed and now living amazing life’s. Thanks to 4 paw 1 heart . I am forever thankful for the life I get with my beautiful fur kids thanks to 4 paws they have also helped with last year a cat no one would help get off the street I brought him in after he had a seizure on my porch and they helped me get him to the vet and he ended up with a broken leg and they and other ppl helped get him to a cat sanctuary and he got the medical attention he needed. One other cat they and other ppl in neighborhood trapped was a cat with a collar that had to be removed by surgery. I again can’t thank 4 paws1 heart enough for everything that have done for me and my fur family I am forever eternally thankful ❤️
This little guy is Cooper. I found him under the pine tree in my yard when he was about 4 weeks old. I TNR'd his mom a day later, her milk was dried up, and she was just a baby herself. I know she brought him there because she knew food was there. He was sooo spicy and ate till his little tummy was round and full when I brought him in. Within just a few days he wasn't hissing at me everytime he seen me, he played till he passed out, and would wake up and cuddle under my blanket with me. I had 5 adult cats, 2 who are seniors. They weren't thrilled with the new guy. He deserved the best home and family I could find, but I needed help getting his vetting. I contacted 4 paws 1 heart and Diana got back to me. I explained the situation and she approved his vetting and neuter. Once healed up we found an amazing furever family, where we still get updates and pictures, and my daughter still gets to see him. He is beyond spoiled, loved beyond words, and brings his family so much happiness. We couldn't have done it without 4 paws 1 heart. Huge THANK YOU! ❤❤
We adopted Bubba 4 years ago through 4 Paws 1 Heart. This organization is top notch. They worked closely and patiently with us through the whole process to ensure Bubba was a good fit for our family.
It turned out he was the Perfect fit. Not only for our cat but for us as well. Bubba is the perfect dog and we're so happy we went and met him that day and the rest of history.
Special thanks to Gina and Diana for their hard work for saving Bubba. I know he's lucky to have a great home but I feel like the lucky one to have him.
4 paws 1 heart is an amazing organization. They assisted me in getting a whole colony of cats spayed and neutered. The smaller kittens were able to go to a rescue and some of the friendlier ones we were able to socialize and rehome. Thanks to their unconditional love and support we were able to save hundreds of unwanted litters. I can’t say enough, I truly appreciate them and all that they do!
It was 2011 when we inquired about Ruby Faith. My friend had shown me a picture of a sad, old dog in a box in a garage. Her owner had died. The grown kids came and took one dog and simply left this sweet girl behind to die.
My husband DID NOT relish the idea of saving her, even after showing him the picture that looked like Ruby had been eating the edges of the box she was trapped in. It was Fourth of July. "What if she's afraid of fireworks? We better go get her before dark!" Oh, that wonderful man.
We drove over an hour, met Gina and Dave bringing us this bedraggled old girl, silver muzzle, missing teeth, a seriously adorable overbite, tumors in her breasts, and a smile, which she had for us for 2 years before she had to be put down. When we brought her home and put a new orthopedic mattress in her crate, she couldn't quit kissing me. All she wanted was her friend, Henry, asleep beside her, and her days were made. A senior dog has issues. So did we!
The friendship that developed with Four Paws - Gina, Dave, Diana, Denise, and many others - continues today, something for which I am grateful. I have seen first hand what these tireless, devoted angels can do for these sweet animals. I have helped in winter when groups slowly cruise alleyways and hidden corners in the cities, searching for dogs without shelter, hay, or the basics. I have helped match donations when they were running so low they were spending their own money not to turn away from animals in need. I have cried with them, comforted them, and supported them, even as they have supported me. This is a family.
To say, "I MUST do something" always gets more accomplished than sitting back saying, "That's terrible. Something MUST be done." Who will help if not us?
Four Paws One Heart is one small organization in one city in one state. And their efforts are 24/7 - 365 days each year. The impact of your donations is immediate. There are many outreaches to local rescues, veterinarians, animal hospitals, foster families, and friends in order to accomplish what miracles they support daily. Their heroic efforts are endless, their hearts are enormous and, sometimes, their heartache is crushing. Still, off they go.
It has been our honor to support this family of dedicated warriors. I hope you will consider supporting Four Paws One Heart, too. For if not you, then who? Dinah Brinson, Oxford
Without 4 Paws 1 heart I wouldn't be able to help all the stray cats and kittens. It all started a few years ago when I was visiting a friend, I noticed all the cats and kittens and that they were feral and there were so many of them. I started trapping them to get them spayed and neutered.
I was called about a cat dragging its self around by her front legs. That's when I contacted 4 paws 1 heart. They paid for me to take her to the vet and that's when we found out she had a bebe in her spine. After that there were a few more found with bebes in them.
I have taken in the friendly cats and the ones that get left behind and got them fixed and found them homes. I take in the kittens and socialize them get the spayed and neutered and age appropriate shots all with the help of 4 paws 1 heart. Without their help a lot of animals wouldn't get the help they need or the opportunity to get a forever home. Every time I ask for help 4 paws 1heart is always there.
I had an elderly neighbor that had several dozen feral cats that were not spayed or neutered. She passed away and the community was going to get involved to have them euthanized.
Because of 4 paws 1 heart and the awesome team of people who volunteer their time,
ALL the cats were spayed neutered , and homed.
This organization has so much heart for every animal in any condition. I'm so grateful for this organization and the help they bring to every situation.
There are so many communities that have these problems and thankfully to 4 paws 1 heart there is somewhere to turn and people to help.
I don't know what I would've done without them and their outstanding support.
Thank you, Sincerely Neenah Valenzuela
We started fostering Samantha in December 2018 knowing about her troubled past with her previous owner and that she needed ACL surgery soon due to her sedentary lifestyle.
We were happy to foster her before and after the surgery and decided we never wanted her to leave after spending months with this sweet girl. Samantha took a little while to warm up to us and our other dog and cat but she fits right in and we love her so much!
4 Paws 1 Heart paid for Samantha's ACL surgery in the Summer of 2019. This organization and Gina never gave up on Samantha and for that reason she is THRIVING today! I'm so thankful for everyone at 4 Paws 1 Heart, you have made such a difference for this sweet girl!
4 Paws 1 Heart - Thank you for all that you do to help animals in need, it is truly an amazing organization!

Four paws, one heart and all of the volunteers and everyone who works with them are amazing. They have helped so many animals in need. They have saved so many animals lives with everything they do. They helped me with a outdoor stray cat and helped me get him fixed and all of his shots and he's healthy and has a good loving home now. Thank you four Paws one heart for everything you do.
I had never been a pet owner but decided wanted to share my home. Daw a picture of my Buster AKA Binx the Halloween kitten and fell in love. I contacted Gina. He had a rough start. Almost didn't make it. Gina worked her magic and 4 yrs later I have the sweetest boy! They covered everything gave me great instructions. I am proud to say I am a foster failure, (actually 2 times. Have a female now too thru Gina). They also helped my nephew with a 7 mo. Old pittie named Nala. She needed a new home and my nephews family is the perfect fit. They once again covered all medical. 4 Paws 1 heart has helped so many that cannot speak for themselves. I am forever GRATEFUL!
4P1H is an amazing non-profit! They took on my nephew when he was just two days old and made sure he had the medical care he needed until he was stable and able to be adopted. Most recently, they took on the medical bills for Walter, who was left on the streets starving with heart-worm and severe arthritis. Without donations from us these abandoned pets don’t have a chance for medical treatment that leads to fostering and adoption. Now both boys are living their best lives in warm homes with healthy meals each day and surrounded by love.
4 paws 1 heart is an amazing organization full of very dedicated individuals. Gina and her team have truly saved and changed the lives of so many animals, people, and other organizations.
Cali was howling in pain when eating. She didn't stop eating but just
screamed in pain trying to put her paws in her mouth when she did.
It was hard to know what to do, Cali is a feral cat.
She and two other ferals (Tuxedo and Bella) were living in our backyard 9 years
ago when we bought our house.
They all had the ear tip so spayed and neutered with at least a rabies vaccine.
No real health problems for all those years taking care of them.
We have heated boxes for them in the winter and while they come into the kitchen
each morning for breakfast they are wild, either born outside never socialized or
abondandoned so long ago they don't remember.
That's the problem getting medical help for a feral cat.
That's where 4Paws1Heart comes in.
No Vet I contacted would look at a wild animal. They kept asking if they could be "handled".
No they can't be handled.
One suggested 4Paws1Heart.
Diana directed me to a Vet (Patterson) who agreed to see her.
And understood she couldn't be touched..
Trapping her proved to be futile as we also have have 4 indoor/outdoor "pet" cats
and the trap kept getting either them (especially Alvin) - or a possum or a racoon.
Their 10 foot rule had gone down to a foot or two through the years so I put on a thick winter coat
and two oven mitts and just grabbed her. It was like grabbing a wolverine.
But I got her in the cage.
They gassed her at the vet and determined she had stomatitis in her mouth so bad she needed her teeth removed.
The cost was really high but 4Paws1Heart negotiated a discount and paid for it and she's
out of pain.
There are some charities that do great work helping pets but very few
that will help the abandoned and thrown away that aren't necessarily cute and cuddly.
4Paws1Heart does this using the all donation money for nothing but good.
Humans sometimes, most times, create their own problems, these animals have done nothing.
Thank you.

4 Paws 1 Heart is amazing! Their work and dedication to help animals who need it has impacted their lives, and the lives who own/adopt them so greatly. Thank you!
A couple years back, One of my dogs tore his ACL. It was right when Covid hit.. and then Governor Whitmer shut down everything. I couldn’t even get him in to be seen for a couple of months. He loved going for walks a couple times a day every day with his brother.. he couldn’t walk very far before I had to pick him up and carry him during our walk, which was taking a toll on me. A good friend of mine mentioned this to someone, and you know how Word travels fast. The next thing I know, i’m getting a phone call from Gina DeLuca Jenio, From 4paws 1 Heart telling me someone donated a dog stroller to their organization and they’d like to give it to me for my little guy, So he can continue to go on the walk with his brother., And make it easier on both of us until he gets his surgery . The stroller was a godsend! But the story doesn’t end here. Last year my Little Harley was sick and was diagnosed with liver failure, he he was determined every day to be on the walk with his brother, So we took the stroller with us every day and when he couldn’t keep up anymore, he got in the stroller and he was just as happy and he did that till the day I put him down. I can’t thank 4Paws and 1Heart enough for making his last months enjoyable with his brother Chewy
Love, love, love this organization, and everyone connected to it! They just helped me with all aspects of spaying & neutering my entire feral colony, 19 in all. The entire colony was female, except for 2 males. The math on how many potential kittens, could have come from this colony is astronomical! This whole endeavor would not have been possible, without 4 Paws1 Heart ! From loaning traps, footing the bill, and everything in between. They also paid for rabies vaccinations, and a flea treatments! ♥️ This is something that I’ve tried to do, for several years. Other organizations would not have been able to pull this off, but these guys did♥️ They’ve made a huge difference, in the greater good, and I know their mission is exactly that!!
5 stars can't come close to how I feel about 4 paws 1 heart. They treat every. Single. Animal with such genuine, whole hearted love. We had the pleasure of interacting with Gina, and she has been such an absolute blessing in our animals life. We went through heartworm treatment and she was with us every single step of the way, she constantly checked in on him and gave us informed helpful information that led us to not only a successful treatment, but as comfortable experience as possible to not put our animal in excessive pain. I can say with all the confidence in the world that this nonprofit organization is something I truly believe in and can stand behind.
Has been a leader of care for all animals. Willing to help with all questions about the adoption process or any other help you need.
Gina, from 4 Paws 1 Heart, took a newborn kitten that was abandoned by her mother in our garage, and cared for her till she could eat on her own. We have her now, and she is in the best of health, because she had the best of care. My thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart.
From the very first story of Hercules to you helping me with my nerds .. all of you are saints on earth for countless of our furry friends .. thank you ❤️❤️

She did not know me at all but out of the goodness=s of their organization and her heart offered to have Lucky spayed thru 4 Paws and One Heart if I could keep her...I absolutely kept her and always kept her posted to see if she had owners looking for her... I cannot not say enough about the people at 4 Paws One heart...they are saints on earth for what they do to help our furry friends
Meet Jimmy Junior. Jimmy was rescued from a farm in Armada in July 2018. He was in terrible shape, underweight, and anemic from severe flea infestation. 4Paws1Heart graciously offered to help me with Jimmy Junior, and 21 other cats that needed to be sterilized . Of the 22 cats at this farm, 10 were kittens. Six of the kittens were treated for flea infestation, received their vaccines, were sterilized, and have gone on to be adopted into their forever homes. Sadly, four kittens did not make it due to the anemia from the fleas and from severe upper respiratory issues.
Out of the 12 adult cats, eight were treated for fleas, vaccinated, and sterilized. The farmer owner was educated about the proper treatment and feeding schedule for the more feral cats that were not able to be adopted. She is visited monthly and is given an enormous bag of cat food, and the cats at the barn are now fat and healthy. The remaining four adult cats had outgoing personalities, and were able to be adopted. Jimmy Junior was one of the lucky ones. He was being fostered by a wonderful lady at Dirty Paws Pet Salon in Davison, Michigan. One of the groomers there fell in love with him, and he is being adopted into a loving home and will have an orange tabby baby sister. He will also get to travel to work with her to play with his buddies that he made while he was being fostered. None of this would have been possible without 4Paws1Heart! Thank you so much for your devotion to helping animals!
4 Paws 1 Heart is an amazing resource for people who find sick, stray animals. we had seen this little guy running around our neighborhood for months and finally got his trust enough that he came into our backyard. I contacted 4P1H and they immediately helped with the burden of medical expenses because he needed tests, shots, etc. Jim’s now on the up and up, gaining weight, learning commands and being housebroken. He is absolutely the sweetest dog and I’m glad he Now has this chance in life to be happy and healthy!
4 Paws 1 Heart is an amazing group and we are lucky to have a resource like them in the Metro Detroit area.
4Paws1Heart has been a life saver in my rescue efforts. Over the past year I have worked closely with this rescue and I must say they are one of a kind! In July I was contacted about a pregnant stray cat, 4paws was very quickly willing to fund vet expenses for vaccines, spay/neuter, and also got me in touch with an Amazing woman that gets food donations for fosters. Momma Luna had 6 kittens! Her finder decided to adopt her! 4 kittens went to their forever homes after their vet visits and 2 are still searching for their forever homes!

4 Paws 1 Heart is an amazing organization and I have quite a few stories to tell. However, I will just tell you all about one. Her name is Chance an estimated 5 year old black cat who I found in August of 2017, she was extremely emaciated, had superficial injuries, was dehydrated and was overall not in good shape. I immediately contacted Diana with 4 Paws 1 Heart. They had the funding available, they jumped at the opportunity to help me, help Chance and authorized an order for blood work due to her extreme dehydration. Thankfully we did that, Chance had fatty liver disease and was extremely anemic, these conditions require extensive around the clock care of SubQ injections for hydration, Vitamin B shots for anemia and a special diet to reverse the damage done to her liver. 4 Paws 1 Heart vetted all of her follow ups, her special diet and all of her medications including an appetite increaser. Chance went back for her follow up, her anemia had subsided, however we are still fighting with her liver enzymes in hope that there is no permanent damage to her liver. No matter what, at the end of the day, I would not have been able to help Chance survive, she would have died, starving, thirsty and alone in the street had I not found her, but she would not be as healthy as she is today without 4 Paws 1 Heart, Diana is truly a blessing when my strays need her the most.
Sincerely,

I rescued a kitten who was living outside & his mom was hit by a car. He had an abscess & I needed help with the vet bill. Diana R wasted no time in answering me & 4paws1heart covered the bill. Zepplin is now a happy healthy kitten & will soon be ready for his forever home. Thank you 4paws1heart!!
I first learned about 4Paws1Heart about 10 years ago. There was a news story about an animal that 4Paws was helping and the news station was asking for donations. From that time forward I have learned so much about 4Paws that it would take me days to write it all. All donations collected except one persons cell phone bill (that is used for 4Paws business) goes toward animal care. The bills get larger and larger each year and 4Paws continues to amaze me at the amount of generosity they have. There is no greater organization or anyone that has more heart then the founder Diana Rascano. I cannot say enough good about this wonderful organization. Absolutely no doubt they should win outstanding nonprofit.

Where to start regarding 4 Paws? I have nothing but the utmost respect and love for this organization. On numerous occasions I have reached out for help regarding fur babies that I have learned about one way or another. Without hesitation 4 Paws has either fully vetted or partially vetted several of these babies that need help. When I've needed help with vet information, questions on adoptions, requests for help, I get an answer almost immediately. Almost every dime that is collected by Four Paws is used toward the care of these precious babies. I am very proud to contribute and happy to recommend them to anyone looking to donate and put your money to good use by a reputable nonprofit. They are a dynamite organization and I have nothing but high fives for them!
This is the kitten, Gizmo, who would of never made it with out 4paws1heart's support! He's also Kato's baby so he thinks
Here is a picture of my two kittens that 4 Paws 1 Heart helped me with when my husband was laided off. They we wonderful, kind and very helpful. Now we are a happy healthy family!
4 Paws 1 Heart is an amazing group in our area that goes above and beyond helping pets in all shapes and sizes receive medical care when they are found as strays, injured wildlife, and owner surrenders in need of immediate medical care. Ive seen the work they do first hand and every member is so compassionate about caring for all living things. They are a blessing in our community!
4 Paws 1 Heart has always been there for me providing medical needs for my foster cats and kittens. With their medical backing I have been able to save hundreds of cats and kittens and found homes for those that could be adopted. We have a large rescue community that depends on medical backing for those animals that are found sick, abused and abandoned.
There is no other organization in our area that specifically provides medical backing and emotional support for those of us that rescue and foster. One case in particular was a rescue kitten named Jordan who came to me emaciated, flea ridden and with an upper respiratory infection so severe he had blood coming out of his ears. He was approximately 3 months old at the time and the size of a 1 month old. When evaluated by a vet, I was told it was hopeless, that he could not be saved. With Diana Rascano's backing, I took that baby home, spent 7 days hand feeding him and allowing the meds to clear up the infection. One evening after a feeding he nosed dived into a dish of food and I knew we had crossed an important threshold. My sweet Jordan ended up being deaf from the infection. He became a very healthy, playful boy and although it broke my heart letting him go, I found him a wonderful family that adopted him and gave him a chance at a loving home and a long life. Without 4 Paws 1 Heart there would be thousands of animals who would not have a chance at life. They are a God send to our community. Including before and after pics of Jordan.

I have been a follower/donor of 4 Paws 1 Heart for several years now. During that time, they have amazed me over and over again with their dedication to so many animals cats/dogs/etc. There have been so many successful rehabilitation's....from near "death's door" to "happy/healthy" survivors. They will go "to the end" for an animal in their care...even when their appears to be no hope....they are sometimes the only hope to change these dire circumstances. All I can say is, without 4P1H, the animal world in our area, would indeed be without one of the finest animal organization that I can proudly say I wholeheartedly support.

I am a supporter of 4P1H. I believe in their mission, which in part is to help with the medical expenses of animals in dire need. They will go to the MAX to see that the animals in their care receive the necessary treatment for them to make a full recovery. I have cried with joy, when they make it and I have cried in sorrow when their bodies could no longer go on. They have touched and moved me with their selfless acts more than these words can express. While my participation is primarily monetary, I am proud to be a small part of this wonderful group of animal lovers.
This is the story of meeting my new best friend, at a time when I needed it the most. My last pet, a beloved Maine coon cat named Maddie, was nearing the end of her life. I was so distraught and, frankly, in deep denial that the end was near. I remember visiting her while she was at Harper Woods Veterinary Hospital, overwhelmed with a broken heart as she was so frail and short in breath. I drove her to several animal hospitals, desperate for help, to no avail. This precious little kitten that I had adopted on Cinco de Mayo (which I forever will call Cinco de Maddie-o) passed away in June 2015. I was crushed and never thought I could bond with a pet that deeply again. My dear friend, Gina DeLuca, was supportive and caring to me during Maddie's illness and passing. Only a couple of weeks later, she mentioned to me a beautiful young cat that 4 Paws was saving. This little angel had nowhere to go and was yet to be adopted into a loving home. But anyone who knows Gina knows that she will never give up on a pet, and will make sure that animals like this receive special homes.
This gorgeous cat, Zelda, had been hit by a car and was taken into the vet to be assisted by Gina. I have no idea how Zelda could survive outside in the harsh conditions, especially given the busy roads nearby, cold weather, and the fact that she was pregnant as a stray (the kittens did not survive the car accident).
Yet, because of Gina and 4 Paws 1 Heart, Zelda's medical expenses were covered. Zelda was spoon fed and provided with love and constant care. Gina made sure she had somewhere to stay while she searched for her forever home. Many people do not realize the hours of effort and diligence this takes, but I could tell simply by listening to Gina share the story with me. When others give up, 4 Paws never does and goes the extra mile to find innocent animals the homes they deserve.
I will never forget the day, July 3, 2015, when Gina asked me if Zelda could stay with me. I took one look at Zelda's picture and, in my heart, I knew it was meant to be. Like Maddie, Zelda had a rough beginning in life and only because of wonderful animal lovers did she have a great life. I thought of the time Zelda and Maddie were both at the vet at the same time. I'll always believe that Zelda said hi to Maddie and Maddie told her "that's my cat mom...you should live with her--she's so nice!" It comforted me knowing that Maddie would want me to rescue another sweet girl, like herself. I called Gina and said "I'll take her!" and she said I could pick up Zelda that night.
In a whirlwind, from sobbing nonstop at the loss of Maddie, to bringing Zelda home that evening, I have been continuously grateful to 4 Paws. I, too, grew up being bounced home to home, dependent on the kindness and generosity of others. Knowing that animals face the same struggle is heartbreaking. But because of 4 Paws 1 Heart, the best organization I have ever known, Zelda is not a statistic! She lives the dream life. She spends her days looking out windows, laying on blankets and beds, eating snacks, and playing with toys. She loves toy mice, and I bought her 100 to spread all around the house. She's a fan of Christmas trees and playing with water, just like Maddie. I know Maddie is looking down and is very happy that her favorite perch and stuffed animals are being enjoyed by another sweet girl.
I will never be able to thank 4 Paws and my dear friend Gina for giving me this treasure. Zelda is my new best friend and she will live a healthy life with all necessities, love, and medical care, because of the commitment of 4 Paws and the special people who donate to this tremendous organization. Thank you for Zelda!
Late November of 2016 I encountered the strongest case of divine intervention I’ve ever experienced. My sister called me and told me that she is possibly going to adopt a third puppy (having already two 9month old Labs) Honestly I thought she was crazy, it wasn’t until hearing the puppy’s history did I understand why. This is the story of my sweet, yet absolutely insane, boy Bentley (aka Ali)
Bentley was brought to 4 Paws 1 Heart at the age of 2 days old, yes only 48 hrs old. He had a severe injury to his leg and it was questionable wether or not the newborn could even survive. The couple told the rescue he had somehow gotten away from his mom and pups and climbed into a recliner track. It wasn’t until someone sat in the recliner and heard his cry that they knew he had wandered. They rushed him to this specific rescue and handed his care over to the organization hoping they could help
He underwent 5+ surgeries to save his leg even flatlining during one yet Gina never gave up on him. Every single day for 7months she gave him 24hr care everything from the bottle feeding, changing bandages, making sure he had a passie so he developed self sooth, taking him to UM for more surgeries on his toes knowing he was in pain by the way he was starting to walk, by the time he was old enough hired professional dog trainer for proper obedience, she took him to work with her every day and home every night. I know I’m leaving so much out but they’ve done just so much for him it would take me a solid 24hrs to list it all. Bentley (Ali to the rescue) made it to 7 months old and the decision was made he was ready for his forever home. I know it wasn’t an easy one but Gina knew it was time and she was going to be very picky as to whom he gets his furever home.
Back to my sister possibly adopting this rescue. My family and I show up at her house for a party, the second I walk in the door she spits out “go upstairs and meet your new dog, he won’t work out here but he’s perfect for you and Skyy (14 yr old weimerreiner)
I rolled my eyes but was excited to see him. The very second I walked into the room this boy knocked me down pinned me on the ground and kissed me to the point I could barely breathe. That was the moment I knew he had to be mine. SOLD!
I contacted Gina and passed her interview, come to find out the house I had just bought was a street away
from her so a bonus she could see him anytime she liked.
Bentley is now 1 and a half and is brought so much laughter and love to my life I honestly don’t know what I would do without him. Thank you again to Gina, Diane and everyone involved in keeping my little miracle boy alive. I’m so beyond thankful that not only did you
Choose me as his furever momma but he did as well
As an independent foster for stray, abandoned and abused cats and kittens, I rely on 4 Paws 1 Heart for all of their medical needs. I have never met such dedicated people as Diana Rascano and the board members of this organization who selfishly give up their time to help the sick, the homeless and abandoned animals in our community. I have nothing but a true respect for the selfless work that they do. If it were not for their help, my precious foster baby Jordan, was doomed to suffer and die alone a painful death from starvation and severe infection. Jordan was given the chance to live thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart and although he is totally deaf from the infection, he is a healthy, loving boy and a total joy.
This is my Jordan today.
Truly the best around!! Their love and compassion for animals is remarkable. What a gift to have them doing what they are doing, even when the task may seem impossible. We love you 4 paws 1 heart!!!!!
4 paws 1 heart is a wonderful organization who has helped with so many animals in need that would be suffering or have died. Diana the president works so hard to raise money and keeps everything so organized. This is Finley she only weighed 2 pounds when we found her after she was left behind by her owners. 4 paws 1 heart paid for her vetting to get her well. She now weighs 7.6 pounds and has found her forever home, where she is so loved. Here are before and after pictures. I am so thankful and blessed to be involved with Diana and 4 paws 1 heart.
I was an emergency veterinarian for years and we worked closely with 4 Paws 1 Heart. They stepped up countless times to save animals in need. They were there to help strays brought in by Police and Good Samaritans, owner surrendered pets and sick animals brought in by rescues. They have even paid for kitten formula to help rescues who were unable to afford it for litters of orphaned kittens. Their caring and generosity has helped so many animals. They paid for the medical care of a dog who had been hit by a car. She was brought in by a good samaritan who saw her laying at the side of the road, she was very near death. Thanks to 4 Paws 1 Heart not only did the dog recover, she became the love of my life.
My husband was recently laid off . I found two abandoned kittens that I so badly wanted to keep. My cat of many years had passed away a couple of months ago. I email Diana of 4 Paws 1 Heart and she arranged everything so that they could be neutered and receive vaccines. with her help we are a happy family with my two gray fur-babies Luna and Sunny.
4 Paws 1 Heart goes above and beyond to give stray and abandoned animals a new chance at life when many others wouldn't. After providing medical care for these animals through an extensively developed network of local veterinary hospitals, fostering these angels with their volunteers, they work with many other rescue groups to get them placed in their forever homes.

4 Paws 1 Heart really has their heart in the right place. They work to provide veterinary care for stray and abandoned animals in need through a network of caring veterinary professionals and wonderful volunteers. They generally do not conduct adoptions themselves, but work with other great rescue groups in the metro Detroit area to find these animals loving homes. They often answer the call of their rescue counterparts to assist with financing medical care also. They are a completely volunteer organization and use 99% of their donations to help the animals - the 1% covers a phone bill for the group.
Ruby was only a few weeks old when she was brought into the emergency clinic with two broken front legs.
Her owners claimed she fell down a flight of stairs and they were unable to pay for her care. The breaks were pretty severe and the veterinary questioned whether she would ever walk again. Euthanasia was considered. But then 4 Paws 1Heart stepped in and convinced the owners to sign Ruby over to them.
4P1H gave Ruby a second chance at life by paying for her care and surgery.
From there she faced a long road of recovery. Both of her tiny legs were bound in a homemade cast made from bandages and popsicle sticks.
When her legs finally healed and she was ready to be adopted our family gave her a home. Today she is very loved and dear to us.
Thank you Gina and 4 Paws 1 Heart for giving her the chance to live a happy and normal life. This a truly a great organization that does amazing work.
Our family cannot say enough good things about 4Paws 1Heart. Thank you for saving Ruby and all these abandoned and abused animals just like her.

I have had the privilege of being a donor, board member and foster mom for nearly 3 years for 4 Paws 1 Heart. Ninety-nine percent of the funds raised go directly to support veterinarian bills for homeless, neglected and abused animals. We help and save animals that would have been euthanized while simultaneously contributing to the local economy. It has been an honor and a privilege to support the work of 4 Paws 1 Heart.

4 Paws 1 Heart is a very hard working medical rescue. My dog was an owner surrender to this group, dying of parvovirus and several broken vertebrae in her neck. She was lovingly nursed to health and was released to a local rescue, where my application was accepted to be her Mom. I am eternally grateful for the care my pet received and she is now healthy and happy. I am proud to attend their fundraisers to help other animals in need. They work tirelessly for the animals in their care. I can't say enough good things.
4 Paws 1 Heart helped our family more times than I can count and more ways than it even seemed they could. 4 Paws 1 Heart saves lives. love love love!
Thanks to this organization and the wonderful people who run it, so many animals are alive, well, and happy in their forever homes. One of mine included. I work at an animal emergency er clinic and I have worked with them and the animals they save numerous times. If it wasn't for their dedication and compassion so many sweet innocent animals that had a bad start in life would not be alive and able to know what true love and caring is about. 4 paws deserves more than 5 stars they are amazing!
This charity has given so much to so many animals. They stand on their mission to provide for those animals when they are in need and have no one else to help them. 4 Paws 1 Heart is a top notch organization!
4 Paws 1 Heart is one of the best organizations in the area. Not only do they help so many animals each year get needed medical care, they also help place animals in loving homes and help people care for their pets as well. They have been helping animals in need in many different situations from abuse, neglect, stray and injured to puppies and kittens and senior pets. They are very compassionate and caring and are a big help to our community and the animals they care for.
Our perfect miracle kitten, Dewey, has grown to a be a 4 year old cat. He brings joy to us each day and we truly cherish him. In the moments where we are so thankful for him, we are equally grateful to 4 paws 1 heart who took the chance on a kitten that many others wouldn't have.
I adopted two 6 week old kittens (brother and sister) from 4 paws 1 ♡. Pepper and Bobby are 7 years old now I am so happy I adopted both of them. 4 paws 1 ♡ was nothing but super nice to me. I love the mission the organization has to help injured and stray animals. If I ever want more animals I will defiantly adopt from this organization again. The grey and white is pepper, the black and white is her brother Bobby.
I was a feral cat raiser a few years ago, and 4 Paws 1 Heart was great in helping me with some of my kittens! They are wonderful human beings, and I contribute to them regularly for this very reason!
We adopted a beautiful boy who was supported by 4 paws 1 heart. His mother was very ill and passed when he and his litter mates were only days old. Fritz weighed only 6oz. With the dedication and love of Gina at along with the financial support of 4paws1heart, they all survived.
4 Paws 1 Heart is a wonderful organization of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly for the welfare of animals. They do phenomenal work!
There are truly no words to express my thanks & love for 4paws1heart! An amazing group of people who have come together for the all the right reasons, making such a difference in the lives of homeless & abandoned animals that everyone else gave up on! I feed strays & do outreach & rescue work which puts me in the right place at the right time for many needy/injured/abused animals, my most recent save with 4 paws BONES, bones was found at a gas station so sick he could hardly breath.. clinging to life completely emaciated, riddled with infection. The odds were against this kitten & i didn't think twice before rushing him home cleaning him up & doing what I could to get him through the night. I knew it wouldn't be enough & this babe needed a vet STAT! I wasted no time before reaching out to 4paws & with no hesitation was sent to the vet.... bones had such a bad URI it had traveled to his blood witch caused a tilt when he walked. The URI also made feeding bones & getting his body healthy enough to fight off this nasty infection hard. We tried so hard to save both eyes but one was just to far gone & needed to be removed. Again with no hesitation 4paws had the eye removed & bones continued to improve. After many meds/antibiotics, breathing treatments & eye surgery bones is a healthy boy who would be here today with out this wonderful group of people & their supporters! Thank you 4paws1heart we love you! *tried uploading pics it's not working:[*
The orange cat is carrot cake and the skinny cat is Oreo .. this wonderful organization helped these 2 cats.. carrot cake had a nasty eye infection and URI which were both treated and Oreo was infested with worms both cats we also fixed and vaccinated from 4 paws 1 heart.. i could not take care of so many outside cats without the assistance of this organization... (added edit) I thought I could add more than story.. this organization has helped me with more than these 2 cats.. ok so the pic with the box of kittens all fixed along with mom and all fully vetted so mom went to live with a neighbor plus 1 kitten the others were accepted into a rescue because they were fully vetted I got them in fast...orange kitten in live trap is Stewie as you can see his health was bad he’s 1 years old now and I kept him.. he was treated for URI and eye infection fully vetted and fixed along with mom and 2 other siblings..the pic with Logan he was a kitten who has frost bite damage on an ear. Fixed fully vetted and lives in my yard with many other cats 1 day he was extremely sick and 4 paws1 heart came to his rescue once again and paid for him to see a vet.. he’s a part of my family now as well.. there are many more I can share but I can only post 4 pics and do 1 review. Without this organization I would only be able to feed the alley and yard cats but because of 4 paws 1 heart they are all fixed and vaccinated and flea and worm free. Thank you 4 paws1 heart!!!
Hi I am currently 36 years old and have been fostering consistently, since I was 18 years old. In all the years I have been fostering, I've NEVER been associated with such an amazing program like 4 Paws 1 Heart! They're effective at so many things, from of course helping our furry friends to communicating with their fosters. I love working with them and I couldn't imagine a fostering life without them. My two daughters and I became acquainted with 4 Paws 1 Heart during the summer of 2016 and have been working very close with them ever since. We've fostered close to 75 kittens since that time and it has been 4 Paws 1 Heart who has covered the medical costs for our fosters. If you're looking for a wonderful cause, 4 Paws 1 Heart is it, hands down! We decided back in 2008 to never work with ANY orgs again, just due to the politics and hassle of everything. Frankly we were reluctant to work with 4 Paws 1 Heart and they QUICKLY changed our point of view. We thank them for that. This is the best group of people I've EVER had the pleasure of working with and then some!
Thank you 4 Paws 1 Heart! ❤️
Violet came into Macomb County Animal Control on June 22nd, 2017 as a stray, 3 week old kitten with what appeared to be an infected eye. The veterinarians at MCAC placed Violet on medications in hopes that the eye would heal while she was in foster. Weeks went by and her eye unfortunately did not appear to be improving and our veterinarian recommended seeking further treatment beyond our normal means. As many of you know, all of our animals at MCAC are completely vetted, however with situations such as Violets, we must reach out in hopes of donations for our 501 (c) (3) non-profit animal welfare fund to help cover major medical situations such as Violets. Officer Pylar reached out to Diana, Director & Founder of 4 Paws 1 Heart, in hopes of help with the surgical procedure. Without hesitation, Diana set up an apointment for Violets eye to be evaluated by a specialist. The specialist discovered that Violet had ruptured her eye in 2 separate places and removal would be the only option. Diana gave the go-ahead and the procedure was complete. Violet is now recovering in her foster home and will soon be available for adoption. Macomb County Animal Control would like to give an incredible thank you to 4 Paws 1 Heart, for everything you do for our community. Without your compassion, efforts and teamwork, amazing success stories such as Violets, would not be possible.
This is pip, he was born with a very large hernia and needed surgery along with all his vetting! This precious little guy wouldn't have survived without 4 paws 1 heart, Thank you for all the precious babies you've helped me save, bless your wonderful heart ❤️!
THANK YOU FUR YOUR HELP!! My rescue PAWtner and I spotted this little cutie pie Lucy, being given away to any taker at a paint car shop (left L pic) in a less than desirable area of Detroit. SO... WE BECAME THE TAKERS, on December 31st 2016, in order to make sure this little intact baby would not end up to be a puppy machine, chained out in a yard, or worse. She is a WONDERFUL dog and came potty trained, so at some point someone taught her right. GREAT with all cats, dogs, & kids Lucy made it to her better tomorrow and furever home on March 23rd, 2017 (left R pic) with the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart. Her new family LOVES camping so I'm sure Lucy will have many great adventures this summer! We could NOT have saved Lucy without vetting help from 4 Paws 1 Heart. 4P1H funded Lucy's wellness exam, vaccines, spay, AND her right eye entropion surgery, as well as a later Demodex Mange diagnosis. Nexgard, which is a flea/tic preventative that Lucy had just started on, is the treatment for that and 4P1H had already provided Lucy two dose of that, in addition to 2 doses HartGuard Plus to keep her HW neg status going. This little 13 month old sassy Sheeba Inu Mix got her better tomorrow with the help of 4 Paws 1 Heart. WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Wendy Stroup & Dianne Cauzillo! PAWer to the PAW! (''''')
A great big sincere "THANK YOU" to Diana, Rachel and Jo!! They rescued my little stray and found him a new home as well as much needed medical care. As posted earlier, every night he would sit on my step and look in my sliding glass door for hours - seeming to want warmth, light and companionship but also so afraid that it took me months to get within 3 feet of him. I put out a warming pad and a shelter from the winter wind and of course I would feed him when I fed my two (who can resist feeding a hungry kitty?). I really would have loved to keep him but with two rescues of my own and a husband who doesn't want another cat, I am so grateful he has found a loving home. Thank you, thank you, thank you 4 PAWS 1 HEART for the caring work you all do.
4 Paws 1 Heart has covered the medical needs of so many of my fosters. I would not be able to save kittens and cats if they weren't here for me. These folks are angels in my book. I love them to the moon and back!
I first encountered 4 Paws 1 Heart when one of my ferals was injured. I was desperate to get medical help for him, but had no money. A bunch of my friends led me to 4P1H and this organization has been amazing from the moment I first came into contact with them. They've funded TNR for 6 of my ferals, plus medical treatment for 2 others. Without 4P1H I would never have been able to provide this level of care for my outside feral community that I love so much. Whenever my ferals are in need 4P1H steps up.
A momma and her 4 kitten's were rescued by a very kind person and 4 paws 1 heart cover all the vetting for this family I adopted one of the kittens 2 year's ago we just love our boy thanks to 4 Paw's 1 heart for vetting this family of 5

4 Paws 1 Heart is a wonderful organization. I found a kitten, that I thought had a broken leg
and when I contacted them, they immediately set up an appointment for the kitten. It
turned out the cat did not have a broken leg, as he started walking on it, so I cancelled the
appointment, but I was amazed at how they were willing to help!
I first really comprehended what 4 Paws 1 Heart does when they saved a kitten's life, and enriched our lives. They give animals a chance that normally wouldn't get one. My Snickers was found as a tiny kitten, in a frozen alley crying for help with his eyes encrusted shut. then 4 Paws 1 Heart team went into action and ultimately saved his life, giving him a second chance....and we adopted him. Since then I have been a faithful supporter of 4 Paws 1 Heart, not just because of this one incident, but because of all the ones that followed. They work together with rescues and organizations in helping with these medical costs - so your donation to 4 Paws 1 Heart goes to many animal organizations - donate now and spread the love!
Hello my name is Brian Dombrowski. I have helped rescue many cat's and dog's in the past few years. If it were not for 4paws1heart helping me help animals in need. I would not have been able to afford to help those animals. 4paws1heart is a blessing for animals that need pur help. Thank you for always helping caring people help afford to save precious animals lives. I appreciate all that you do for furry animals in need. Without 4paws1heart i would not have been able to rescue more then 18 cats and kittens. Around 10 dog's this is truly a great organization. Thank you with all my heart.
wonderful people helping animals--- hurt--abandoned -lost--new born--24/7 --year around....good people ....they need the help of everyone out there, to turn the cruelty and non caring around...When you help animals you help people and your self...Good job folks..
Diana and her people are so full of love for all those poor animals, please donate as often as possible, please!!!!!
They are absolutely wonderful and help so many animals in need. Thank you for your dedication to helping our furry friends!
I had been following 4P 1H on FB for a couple years. I was amazed at the amount of animals in need that they had helped. I started to donate to them. Then in October 2014, I was doing a little TNR & trapped an 8 wk old all black, male kitten in a residential area in Utica that I suspected someone had dumped. I already had 3 cats in my home so I had hoped to find him a home. Did some looking but could not find him an acceptable situation. Contacted 4P 1H and they agreed to take him "under their wing" which meant getting him neutered and his shots, if I agreed to keep him. How could I refuse! His name is Chance and he has been with me for almost 2 years.
Gina, Diana and the rest of the 4 Paws 1 Heart team are awesome! They help so many animals in our area and help people (like us) find rescues to add to our family.
Im so blessed to be a part of this group , 4 paws 1 heart is so amazing they have saved and helped so many helpless animals. I truly just cant say enough about them .

4 Paws 1 Heart is an amazing organization that has helped me with numerous feral and social cats. They help with spay/neuter and any other medical they may need like an open wound, upper respiratory, fleas, ticks, etc. The social ones have found amazing forever homes. The feral cats are returned to original site and will not be reproducing anymore. None of this would have been possible without their help!

This amazing non profit helps medically fund animals needs. Very caring organization and will help in any way they can. They have helped with medical for the feral cats I have trapped, who would have otherwise suffered and continued breeding. They have also spayed/neutered friendly cats and kittens that I have found or trapped and they are now in loving homes. Without their generosity, these cats/kittens would have suffered greatly! Thanks 4P1H!!!
We were looking for a kitten to keep our older cat company. Saw a kitten on Facebook from 4 paws 1 heart. They said the one we picked would be a good fit for our lifestyle. Turns out, he was too much kitten for our cat and suggested an interim kitten, one that was still playful and could take the extra burden of entertaining off of our cat. We adopted both kittens and we couldn't be happier
Nothing but amazing experience and awesome things to say about this group.. They have helped me rescue & also personally. They have made a huge impact in the rescue community in the best way possible, they seem to take on some of the hardest cases, and truly change lives... They are the definition of rescue..
The gals of 4 Paws 1 Heart dedicate their lives to helping animals. They are true advocates for animal welfare. Each board member goes above and beyond for the animals in their care. When you donate, you can be 100% confidant that every dollar goes directly to an animal in need. Truly a worthy, local cause to support.
This is a fabulous organization. They do everything they say they will and sometimes more. They make it possible for smaller rescues to take in more dogs in a responsible way
This is one of the most giving, caring charities that exists. Diana Rascano is a great organizer and sincerely cares about abandoned, mistreated and needy animals! #1 in my book.
My first of many experiences with 4paws1heart include Diana Rascano spending Her Christmas morning (2013) seeking foster homes for my brother Ross Christy's several pets after he passed away that morning. 24/7/365...these are the best human beings I've ever met in my life.
4 Paws 1 Heart is an amazing group of people doing amazing work in my community and saving many lives of animals. I feel that they go above and beyond every time and never leave an animal behind. They use funds in the best way possible to maximize impact, every dollar goes to helping animals in need. I recommend supporting this group.
4 paws 1 heart is an amazing organization that helps thousands of homeless and abused animals. Thank you for all that you do!!!
4 paws 1 heart is an amazing organization!!! They helped with a kitten i found that needed to have her leg amputated. They were awesome & there every step of the way! I have since then had wonderful experience with them helping with vetting other animals that have been found & since adopted. They are amazing & the only charity that i have had such a wonderful experience with!
I cannot thank 4paws1heart enough for their generous donation to Miss Bella's care. I am forever grateful, these guys are angels and give their all to helping!
4 Paws 1 Heart is a great non-profit organization, they have helped with a stray mamma cat that I took in she was pregnant, they helped me with care and the care of her new babies, this was in Sept of 2015. I can't thank them enough for everything and do, and for helping with animals of all kinds. Thank You Becky
I had been following 4 Paws on Facebook for a while when I saw this beautiful dog that had been hit by a car and had been rushed into the vet and was saved by the ladies at 4 Paws 1 Heart. His name was Tobias and he had a fractured pelvis and leg, as well as internal injuries. Surgery was performed and was paid for by 4P1H. Tobias started to heal and was sent to a wonderful foster home, where he was lovingly cared for by Jessica and Joel Kuhn. I watched Facebook every day to follow Tobias' progress. When he was finally well enough to be adopted, I reached out to 4 Paws and filled out an application. The next thing we knew, Tobias came to live with us!! We have 2 other dogs and Tobias has the best life now and plays with his brother and sister every day. We love Tobias to pieces and cannot imagine life without him! Words cannot express our gratitude to 4 Paws 1 Heart for all of the good that they do, day in and day out. Thank you for bringing us Tobias.
4 Paws 1 Heart is the only organization that I will donate to for animal care. I have worked with others in the past, but have stopped. 4 Paws truly has the animals best interest at heart and all of the money I send, goes to the care of animals.

4 Paws 1 heart is the best non profit out there! My cat Oreo was found starving, with broken bones, on the side of the road in Detroit. 4 Paws rescued him, vetted him, and gave him another chance at life. He is our beloved lap cat and has a wonderful home with other cat and dog friends. He never would have had this opportunity were it not for 4 Paws. Every animal deserves help and a second chance. Thank you 4 Paws!
4 Paws 1 Heart has done so much for so many in providing veterinary care for our furry friends. Whether help for rescues or where care would otherwise be unaffordable for people, heart and souls goes into everything they do.
I believe in this group, and I support their cause. They are a group of selfless people who help those animals who have nowhere else to go. Also, they keep their expenses extremely low, unlike most organizations these days.
I adopted my pitbull mix, Tobias, from 4 Paws 1 Heart and I have nothing but GREAT things to say about them!! Gina and Diana are such caring people, both for the animals they have helped save, but also to those of us who have adopted animals and become part of the 4P1H family!! They are always there for you, no matter what. They never refuse to take in an injured dog or cat and they do whatever they can to save the poor baby! I love to read all of their Facebook posts and stay up on the animals they are caring for and who gets adopted out. Diana and Gina, keep doing what you're doing!! You guys are amazing!!

Thank You so very much. You make our hearts swell!
This past summer a stray cat was hanging around my father in law's backyard. He was very skinny and lethargic and the weather was so hot. He wasn't eating or drinking much and I just knew if he didn't get help he wouldn't make it. I contacted 4 paws 1 heart (a contact I received from a retired Detroit Police Officer) and was shocked how quickly and kindly they responded. They paid for Frankie's shots and were willing to pay for his neuter until we found out he had been neutered previously. Without their help I couldn't have saved Frankie and given him a good home. I am very grateful and thankful for Diana and the rest of the 4 paws 1 heart family!
Diana has helped me time and again with vetting feral kittens. She has been an unlimtied source of information whenever I've needed something. I don't know how she does it, but I'm so grateful she does! Thank you Diana and 4Paws1Heart!!

Thank You, Lisa!!
LOVE THEM
Love what they do love what they are.
They don't give up even if some would say an animal is not worth it.
I read every post on facebook by 4 Paws 1 Heart. I see the help they give each and every furry friend from the beginning of the sad rescue until the happy end where they get placed in a foster to being adopted. I've talked to Gina personal on several occasions and this is an amazing animal rescue.
I love this organization they are always putting the animals first and going out of their way to help any animal.they do a wonderful job and are great people.
4p1h is such a great organization. They are the voice for so many of our furry friends and are always there to help an animal in need. Thank you for all you do!
This group not only saves countless pets lives they are a group of the most compassionate and selfless people I know. No stone goes unturned when they are trying to find the best and most appropriate care for the abanded animals that they come upon. Their networking and solid relationships with Vets across the tri-county area and beyond is abundant. Those relationships exemplify their work ethic and trustworthiness of the group. Every donation is accounted for and you know spent on the animals.
A very hard working group who makes sure that all animals get to see a vet and get the proper care.
They made sure my senior Maltese was rescued and vet checked before placing her in my arms.
They work far I to the night, no matter the weather.
An amazing group of dedicated individuals who I have been blessed to know. Their work is tireless and selfless, and they are an important part of the community when it comes to the animals in need of care.
I can't say enough good things about this group, how they help Animals out and people the love and care they give it amazing. The work and compassion they have is unbelievable I love them so much and hope they can always be here to keep doing the great work.
4paws is one of if not the best charity out there. i can not tell you how many times they have helped me and you know exactly where your money goes. if i could give 10 stars i would.
4 paws 1 heart is a wonderful organization that pays for the medical costs of thousands of animals. They have saved so many lives. I am so proud and blessed to be a part of this awesome oranization. Thank you 4 paws 1 heart for all you do.
4 Paws 1 Heart is one of the honest ones. A group that truly cares about the health and well being of an animal!
This organization is wonderful. The help and love they give to sick and abandoned animals is so heartwarming. They truly care and give it their all for each one they touch.
My name is Bailey and I am a 9 year old cocker spaniel. I wouldn't be here without the help of these wonderful people. They took care of my vet bill and helped me and my new mom with support and love. My little heart is almost worn out, but not before I got to know the meaning of true unconditional love.
4 paws 1 heart is the most wonderful organization that I have ever had the privilege of working with. They helped when I found a kitten that ended up needing a LOT of help (she had a hind leg pulled out of the socket that ended up needing to be amputated). I never would have been able to afford the wonderful treatment that 4 paws 1 heart privided her with & I'm sure without their help she would have had to be humanely euthanized. I can't imagine my world without her, or without 4 paws 1 heart! Since then I have contacted them a number of times to help other abandoned animals & they have ALWAYS been there for us! The number of lives they have saved is countless & the number of lives (animal & human) they have touched is infinite. They are simply THE BEST!
The founder of 4 Paws 1 Heart works tirelessly to help finance medical care for abused and abandoned pets. Every penny donated goes directly to helping the dogs, cats, etc. that need medical attention. This charity has a clear mission and is run wonderfully- making a huge positive impact on the community. Karen Smith
4 Paws 1 Heart has gone above and beyond helping sick, injured or abandoned animals. From vaccinations, spay/neuter, parvo puppies, heartworm positive dogs, victims of dog fights or car accidents they are truly a god send. They make it possible for animals to have a fighting chance at survival.
I have a stray cat that we have named Bob in the area and we noticed he had a large open wound under his arm I was unable to financially help to get him better so I was advised by the local vet to call 4 paws 1 heart. I emailed and quickly recieved a response that they would help. It was such a blessing they covered the entire surgery bill and now Bob is happy as ever and my neighbors have adopted him!!
Great organization that does so much to help out citizens and other rescues. I'm a native Detroiter who resides in Los Angeles but have been a supporter of 4 Paws for years and can't speak more highly of them.
They have helped me with several cats throughout the past 4 years. They go above and beyond to help all animals that they cat, offering resources and connections with other local rescues and vets. They are kind, professional, and passionate about what they do, making them a fantastic resource and rescue to work with. I cannot imagine how I would have rescued and helped several animals without their help and information. I cannot say enough great things about this organization and the people that devote their time to it.
4 Paws 1 Heart is an incredible organization. I found 9 kittens in a ditch and contacted 4 Paws 1 Heart because I needed help with getting 4 of them the medical care that they needed. They had upper respiratory infections and their eyes were infected. 4 Paws 1 Heart contacted a vet and got them the help as soon as possible. They were all treated and then 4 Paws 1 Heart was even able to help with spaying and neutering. I am very thankful for 4 Paws 1 Heart! They helped vastly in saving these precious abandoned babies.
When we discovered a feral mother with her four kittens in our neighborhood, we didn't know what to do. A friend put us in touch with 4Paws1Heart and we would not have been able to trap, vet, fix and release the mother and father, and trap, vet, and fix three of her four kittens. We kept two of the kittens and the other one is in foster care. Such caring for our furry friends is admirable. This nonprofit is at the top of our list for any donations we can make.
What a unique type of involvement and novel way of thinking about rescue! I have worked with 4Paws for years now as a veterinary hospital owner and can say that it has been nothing but a good thing. Very easy to work with. Save TONS of animal other rescues wouldn't touch.
I joined up with 4 Paws 1 Heart over a year ago, to help them save pets life's. I have & still am fostering cats/kittens, that 4 Paws 1 Heart has been asked to help medically. When one of these babies needed any kind of medical attention, there was no questions asked, I was told to get them in & 4 Paws 1 Heart would take care of the costs. I've been provided food, litter, toys, & medicine, so that I could be able to provide the love, attention, and socializing ferals. I can not thank them enough, as I can say I have fostered close to 50 cats/kittens just in the last year, which I wouldn't have been able to do without their help.
Being a small non profit, funds are always a struggle, feeding Colonies of TNR (trap, neutered, Returned) feral, abandoned, and semi ferals, the kittens that are born in the wild, NEED saved, to STOP this cycle! We take in these kittens, vet and find homes, AN ORGANIZATION LIKE 4 paws 1 heart is LIFE SAVING to small independents who can not raise funds to save lives! THEY DO! THEY SAVE THE LIVES of these animals! They help stop Countless litters from being born into SUFFERING, torture and death by freezing and illness. Please continue to support this non profit so they can help by trickle down effect to independents who do not have resources!
When my husband and his partner found an injured dog (later named Joy) on the side of the road while on duty, the generous staff at 4P1H graciously jumped in to cover her treatment which included surgeries and therapy. They were also kind enough to include all of us in the celebration when Joy was adopted! Later, my husband and I were blessed to be able to foster another dog, ️Tobias, for 4P1H. He had similar injuries as Joy and needed us until he was healed and ready to find his forever home. Being part of something like this changes you in ways you could never expect and I'm so grateful to call Diana and Gina our friends after 2 wonderful experiences with them and 4P1H.

Jessica, the friendship of you and your caring, unbelievable husband are just an added benefit to what we do.
I seriously love this place & the people! Very caring & giving. I have never seen any animal turned away for any doctor care no matter how big or small! They have the heart of an angel to help all helpless animals!
When I found out that there was a pregnant cat and 3 older kitten who needed a foster I stepped up to help . 4Paws1Heart brought me 50 pounds of kitten chow and a couple case of canned food to help. Momma (Raven ) was severely under weight and because she was an owner surrender we knew she was 9 months old and this was her 3 rd litter . I let her eat as much as she could to insure her kittens would be healthy. Raven gave birth to 5 healthy kittens on June 1 ,2025. Later we found out that 2 of her older kittens were having kittens also. 4Paws1Heart never missed a beat they paid for all the vet visits and for all 14 to be spayed or neutered . I can never thank them enough for all they do.
I retire from Ford and decided I needed to volunteer to help the animals when I came across a wonderful wonderful organization called4paws1heart! They go above and beyond to help medically the abandoned and abused, not to mention that they're a wonderful group of very very loving people who care what they can do to help the animals! !! I am very proud to be associated with this organization!!!
An amazing group who focuses 100% on the animals and saving lives. They work hard to support the animals and help the ones saving the animals. A wonderful program full of wonderful people.
4 Paws 1 Heart is a fantastic organization providing medical dollars for abused, abandoned & neglected animals. They are there for individual rescuers & rescue organizations alike. They have a wonderful network of Vets & Specialists that Provide amazing care for animals needing help, some that may have otherwise been euthanized. I have saved many animals with the help & commitment of 4 Paws. There are no organizations that Im aware of that does what 4 Paws 1 Heart does for animals that may otherwise be euthanized or suffer long, excruciating deaths on the streets. An amazing organization, lead by an amazing group of people!!!
This is an amazing group of people. They fund and support care for various animal rescue groups as well as individual animals that need help. Abandoned animals, wildlife, animals that have been forgotten or neglected and certainly not on anyone else's radar... this group is their voice and advocate. They have an incredible network of rescues that they work with to get animals into loving homes, they pay the medical bills of thousands of cases each year, If there is any group to support in their mission... it's this one.
4 Paws 1 Heart is an awesome nonprofit. In the 3 years I've worked with them they've saved many, many, many animals lives! Such compassionate, caring, kind people!
I was brought a kitten who's eyes had ruptured. I was told by our vet the only thing that could be done was remove her eyes. I spoke to the wonderful people at 4Paws and they paid for us to go to a vet who is a specialist in eyes.
Today Paddy can see. She is able to play with the other kitties. She still has the scars, but she has site.
These people will never say no. Not even on a hard case.
