My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, my name is Bert! I am a kitten with quite the backstory who is looking for the purrfect home to make my happily ever after and will care for me all the rest of my days! I was born with an enlarged heart, and I tested positive for a heart condition called HCM. I am looking for a owner who isn’t afraid of a kitty with a heart condition, and will give me the life I deserve: full of love, admiration, and the vet care I require.

In May of 2025, on the first 80 degree day in Frankenmuth, somebody dumped my mommy, me and my 5 brothers outside Pet Angel. Our mommy cat was left inside a teeny, tiny cage and next to the cage, they left a rubber maid tote fully closed with me and my 5 brothers inside of it. We were just 6-week old, and the tote didn’t even have air holes in it!!! When the volunteers showed up for the evening shift, they found us, and quickly brought us inside to safety. Pet Angel named our mommy Sesame, and me and my brothers were all named after Sesame Street Characters (I’m Bert, but my brothers names are Elmo, Rocco, Grover, Ernie & Snuffy!) We went off to foster care, where we were safe and sound while our mommy weaned raised and weaned us, and we came back to Pet Angel when we were big enough to be without 24 hour care.

I am a CUTIE! I am sleek boy with long legs and a long nose! I love to play with toys, carry around pom pom balls, and chew on show laces. I enjoy wrestling my roommates (especially my counterpart, Bert) and clinging to your shoulder when you pick me up! My foster mama used to let me sleep in the hood of her hoodie, so now I love cat hammocks because they’re kind of like a sweatshirt hood. I sleep in the hammock with my belly up! I am outgoing, and want to be around people! I am playful, with both toys, roommates, and people (and shoes- boy, do I love shoes!) and I’m the purrfect kitty- you will just love me! I’m adorable, friendly, sweet, playful and so much fun!

I do have a health condition, and I am hoping that this does not scare away any potential owners, but helps me find the best family who will give me all the care I may need in my life. In the end of July 2025, one of my brothers, Snuffy, suddenly passed away. One day he was sick, so Pet Angel took him immediately into the vet, and the next day he was gone. It happened so fast, and all of the staff and volunteers at Pet Angel were absolutely devastated. At first, The vet thought Snuffy’s symptoms looked like pneumonia. This prompted Pet Ange
