Bertha the rescue rabbit, once neglected during her first year of life, has found a new purpose in her forever home with Emily Heiderscheidt, the director of Ruby and Laurel Animal Rescue in Clinton, North Carolina. Initially brought in as a foster, Bertha was saved from a hoarding and breeding case where she lived in a bin with holes drilled in the top. Despite her rocky start, Bertha ended up being adopted by Heiderscheidt and now serves as a foster mom to other animals in their home. This special rabbit has formed strong bonds with nine cats and enjoys playing, snuggling, and grooming them.

Bertha has a particular affinity for young kittens, as they provide her with the extra love she craves. Heiderscheidt always oversees the initial introductions between Bertha and new animals to ensure a friendly and harmonious relationship before letting them interact. One of Bertha's most precious relationships is with a black and white kitten, who she immediately connected with, prompting affectionate cuddles and biscuits. A heartwarming TikTok video showcasing Bertha's affectionate interactions with the other animals went viral, garnering millions of views and comments from enamored viewers who appreciate the unique bond Bertha shares with her foster companions. Users couldn't help but express their admiration for the unconditional love animals exhibit and the sense of safety and comfort they bring to one another.
