My story

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

Birdie has lived a life a of non stop desperation and is so ready to find her people! As the temps turned frigid in January just before the Big Storm, she found herself in a Wawa parking lot in North Philadelphia, judging drivers who had stopped to get a sandwich or pick up a cup of coffee. She couldn’t remember how long she had been there anymore, but she was tired of being cold and hungry and she knew the gusts of freezing air that night could mark the end of her time and bring her death. One driver had a little girl with them. They seemed cheerful and kind. Birdie decided death was not her only option to end her suffering in that parking lot, she boldly cried for their attention and ran up to their car. When they pivoted to see her, she leapt into the warmth of their running vehicle!

Birdie LOVES people!! Even though they have failed her and left her on her own in the cold. Birdie was microchipped and definitely had a home before. Sadly, no one had registered her microchip and so no one came forward to claim her. We shall never know how she came to be in a Wawa parking lot, starving for food, attention and warmth but she is now safe and well fed!

The last missing puzzle piece her life needs is a home!

Birdie currently is in a foster home with other cats and dogs and while she is grateful to be safe, she would really appreciate having a family where she can have all the human(s) to herself!

Pretty little Birdie loves people and cannot wait to meet you!

Go meet their pets

At this time, Familiar Hearts Animal Society meetings are by appointment only.

We currently rely on our amazing web of generous fosters throughout the Philadelphia area and will do our best to make a meeting as convenient as possible for both human + animal.

Meetings will need to be coordinated through the foster of the animal you are interested in meeting.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement: To end the unnecessary suffering of homeless companion animals by serving as a refuge and enabling humans to provide them quality and compassionate homes.

Our Vision: Our mission is two-fold; we want to help abandoned pets and we want to help stop pet abandonment.

We operate using a network of kind hearted hands to help find homeless animals veterinary and behavior care and then match them with appropriate forever homes. We also strive to educate pet owners about resources they might utilize in order to best understand how to provide for their friends with furry paws, feathers or claws. We always do our best to help.
