💖Medical Miracle Storytime💖

If you are not yet familiar with our Medical Miracle Grant Program, then scroll no further!! The purpose of this program is to save more seriously senior (12 yrs+) and special needs dogs and cats. We do this by supporting our rescue and sanctuary partners when they accept needy dogs and cats from owner give-ups and shelters!

Today’s story is about a domestic shorthair named ATHENA from our amazing Rescue Partner: Frederick Friends of Our County Animal Shelter!

MEET ATHENA:
“Athena had been trapped as a kitten living in a feral cat colony and was adopted at 6 weeks old. She
loved her owner but had no exposure to other people. When her owner had a stroke and couldn't care for her, his family was unable to care for Athena because she was undersocialized and exhibiting fear aggression, so we took her in. She's a lovely, sweet cat but if stressed will have extended episodes of extreme fear and so is unadoptable and is a FFOCAS sanctuary cat. Athena developed an inner ear infection we've been trying to treat for months. She was seen by a neurologist at VRA last week, who is concerned the infection has spread to her brainstem. The treatment for this is expensive, but we love Athena, there's a chance for a full recovery, so we want to do whatever we can for her."

Thanks to our supporters' generosity, House with a Heart was able to provide a $1,000.00 grant to help Athena get the medical care she desperately needed.

Meet Romy 💕🐾

Don’t let her tiny size fool you—Romy has absolutely mastered the art of living her best low-maintenance life. 💕 At 11 years young, she’s an independent, low-key couch potato who believes every day should include a comfy bed, a cozy nap, and as little drama as possible.

Looking for a calm companion? Romy is your girl. She’s both house-trained and pad-trained, and while she can hear you perfectly well… she occasionally chooses selective listening. 🤷🏼‍♀️ {No regrets.}

Romy would thrive in a home with older children since beauty sleep is serious business and she’s not a fan of being disturbed mid-nap. But when it comes to adult hoomans? She’s more than happy to be handled, adored, spoiled rotten, and showered with love. 😘

If your idea of the perfect best friend is a sweet senior snuggle buddy with zero interest in chaos, Romy is ready to claim her spot on your couch. 🛋️✨

Romy is fostered by Miri's Haven Senior Dog Rescue in Waynesboro, PA. For more information or to apply to adopt her, visit MirisHaven.org.
