Meet Bernadette. šš¾
Bernadette's story started for us with one tiny kitten.
Last spring, a lawn-care worker found a lone kitten while cutting grass at an empty house. One kitten by itself seemed strange, so we went back to the property, convinced there had to be more.
We didn't find another kitten.
But we found Mom.
After talking with neighbors and sharing photos, we learned Bernadette had once belonged to a family who moved away and left her behind.
She turned out to be an incredible mom ā not only to her own baby, but also to a tiny kitten who was later found alone and soaking wet in the rain. Bernadette took that baby in too.
Now her mothering days are behind her, and it's Bernadette's turn.
She's incredibly sweet, loves pets and attention, and wants to be near her people. She's lived peacefully with other cats and a dog, although we think she'd be perfectly happy being the only cat and getting all the love for herself.
Bernadette has been with us for quite a while, so one of our volunteers (Sage Hammack) created this beautiful portrait of her. It will go home with her adopter.
She spent part of her life being left behind and then devoted herself to caring for babies who needed her.
We'd really love for someone to choose Bernadette now.
