We both really love animals and together will have 5 fur babies running around the house!

Mark has a dog named Elsa, a Catahoula Leopard who is about 12 years old (we think). He rescued her from very unfortunate circumstances 8 years ago; she had been abused by her former owners and abandoned twice. She is very sweet, but understandably shy and skittish around new people and new places. Thankfully she bonded with Bridget pretty quickly and gets along famously with the cats!

Bridget has 4 kitties- Milo (12), GiGi (10), Lucy (9), and Amy (8). The kitties all came to be with Bridget through various rescues. Bridget volunteered with a local animal rescue for a while and had to stop when she realized she would continue to keep bringing cats home! Amy was the last to be adopted after Bridget fostered her when she was 3 weeks old; she became a “Foster Failure” because she never left! Lucy is the most unique of the cats as she enjoys wearing hats and costumes! She is such a good little model that Bridget has been making calendars of her in various outfits for the last 4 years.

Although Bridget is not really a dog person and Mark is not a cat person, the two love each other’s animals as much as they love their own. Bridget has really enjoyed taking Elsa for walks and giving her treats, and Mark loves to play with the kitties, give them catnip, and snuggle with them. Thankfully all the fur babies get along well together and it looks like the makings of a very happy home!
