Mittens Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week
Nominate your pet for Bridgewater's Pet of the Week and winners will get a free treat bag from Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming!
BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Mittens! He has been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pet Of The Week.
"Mittens Chomko, 15 year old tuxedo cat whom we love dearly. He was recently diagnosed with cancer and is not expected to be with us as part of the family this time next year. His story... 15 years ago he was found huddled under a car in a parking lot as a kitten, and then was found and taken in by Somerset Regional Animal Shelter (where he was named Scrappy). After suffering a shocking loss of our other kitten, Mochi, who was hit by a car at only 1 year of age, Mochi’s brother, Milo, cried nightly for a companion. That’s when we went to the Somerset Regional Animal Shelter and fell instantly in love with Mittens (formally named Scrappy). With his tuxedo suit and white paws, Mittens was such an appropriate name. We have loved him dearly ever since."
