Half-Pint Heart’s Story
Half-Pint’s life was too short, but her legacy lives on.
Read below about Half-Pint’s life and big impact on Grateful
Hearts Rescue. We are grateful that she entered our life.


Half-Pint’s Legacy will Live on
Half Pint’s Heart was created in honor a special, little girl that
blessed the rescue for about three weeks. She came into the
rescue just shy of four weeks old weighting in at about 14
ounces. Despite her size, Half Pint had a personality
that would fill up a room. She was full of sass, spunk,
playfulness, and love. She was not afraid of anything even though
she was the size of a little nugget.
About a week after she entered the rescue, Half Pint had an
incident where her body temperature dropped for hours. She
was syringe fed and placed in an incubator to try and bring her
temperature up. After several hours, it was apparent that
she would pull through. Over the next couple of weeks, Half
Pint gained about four ounces and more confidence.
In honor of her special life that was so short lived with us, we created Half Pint’s Heart Medical Fund. This medical fund will help with kitties that need special medical treatment such as surgery, dental procedures, etc. We will be able to provide for one kitty at a time and they will remain with a designated foster who specializes in kitties with medical conditions.
As more funding comes in, we will be able to add another kitty to this special medical fund. Kitties will remain with their foster until they are adopted out. Half Pint had such an impact in the lives of her foster family that we wanted to honor her. She was unable to be saved, but we are hoping that we will be able to save those kitties that need extra help and care. If you would like to donate to Half Pint’s Heart please specify your generous donation goes to this medical fund.
