About Bridgette

Meet Bridgette! This young Domestic Short Hair cat has a little cloudiness in her right eye due to previous inflammation associated with feline herpesvirus (FHV-1). The good news is that Bridgette has responded well to treatment, and while she will carry FHV-1 for life, the inflammation has resolved. She is comfortable and able to see out of both eyes, though some scarring will remain permanently. This isn’t causing her any discomfort. Bridgette thrives in a calm, low-stress environment and will need a little extra patience while settling into her new home. An initial wellness visit with a veterinarian is recommended in the first few weeks to ensure she's on the right track. She's eager to leave her shelter days behind and find a loving home where she can truly shine. Think you can offer Bridgette the gentle home she deserves? Apply today!
