Meet the unexpected senior due, Bonnie and Abe!
About Bonnie
Breed: Shiba Inu (actually a cat)
Age: 11, soon to be a thriving 12
Special Quirk: Was diagnosed with SARDS, a sudden and permanent blindness
Favorite Hobbies:
Now that I’m in my elder era, I’ve learned how to let loose and take advantage of the amount of treats I get for “just being cute”. I may be cute, but don’t let that fool you. I will most likely ignore you when you try to pet me and just walk away. You can find me taking naps or demanding snacks to be fed to me in the kitchen. Most of the time I like to pretend I can’t hear, but as soon as I hear a bag crinkle I can’t help myself. I am the best, most well behaved girl when you give me snacks. If I could have it my way, everyone would let me eat whatever I want. Even though I’m blind, I never let that hold me back. In fact, it doesn’t even phase me when I run into a wall most of the time! I miss my brother Maverick a lot, but lucky to have my buddy Abe here. He’s like an annoying little brother with ADHD… still love him though!

Following Mom EVERYWHERE
I like to think I’m a confident, outgoing, and loving gentleman. Anyone I meet, I immediately fall in love with. I like to let them know how much I love them by rubbing up on them and when they stop giving me attention, I bite their ankles. I have a special place in my heart for my Mom though. She buys me toys, feeds me boujee food, and gives me the best snuggles! Although, she keeps sleeping when it’s time for me to eat at 4 a.m. so I have to aggressively scream in her ear and get her up to feed me. She also keeps getting trapped behind the door in the bathroom, good thing I know how to open the door so I can invade her privacy and sit in there with her. What would she do without me? All I wish is for her to let me hang out in the backyard, but she keeps saying something about “monsters”? I enjoy the indoors a lot too! I spend most of my time lounging in any spot of sun, practicing parkour, or seeing how fast I can sprint around the house. I think I have almost beat my personal record! I love hanging with my pal Bonnie, but man she isn’t as fun as Maverick who I used to play games with. I keep wanting to play and she acts like she can’t even see me! That’s okay though, it’s fun to follow her and mom around and take naps together.
Welcome to my personal page for The Saving Pets Challenge: Pawfect Match—where every dollar helps cats and dogs find their pawfect matches!
I’m fundraising for Animal Friends Alliance, a nonprofit that’s been saving lives and spreading love since 2006. What started as two separate rescues—Fort Collins Cat Rescue & Spay/Neuter Clinic and Animal House Rescue and Grooming—paired up to become one in 2020. Now they’re an adoption-guarantee shelter and affordable spay/neuter clinic helping animals in Northern Colorado and beyond.
Since their humble beginnings, Animal Friends Alliance has found pawfect matches for over 50,000 dogs and cats, spayed and neutered more than 100,000 pets, and helped over 10,000 community cats live safely outdoors.
I’m helping them raise $217,000 during the Saving Pets Challenge, and I’d love your support. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your donation helps animals find homes, families, and second chances.
Join me in supporting this amazing cause!
