ABOUT ME

Hi y'all! My name is Katie, but my friends call me Birdie and I am a proud Pit Bull mommy to three amazing fur-babies: Prince, Cinqué & BabyGirl. In 2018, Prince was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia and has osteoarthritis. He’s also had a sensitive tummy ever since he was a puppy. Due to Prince's sensitive gut, I started educating myself about the raw diet and how real food can help heal your pet. About two years later we adopted our foster, BabyGirl who was healing from Demodex Mange. It was around that time when I really discovered the wonders of bone broth. Not only has bone broth helped with Prince’s gut and joint issues, but it has also helped BabyGirl with her skin/coat. Even Cinqué’s coat is super soft.

Just like humans, diet and nutrition is directly linked with your pet’s health. Raw diet, nutrition and food prep have become a passion of mine. I’ve been doing it for my kids since 2018 and the benefits have been so rewarding. I also love cooking and baking as well. One day, while making bone broth for my kids - I thought why not make bone broth for other people’s pet? My recipe has been tried and tested on my kids and they love it. Why not have other pets benefit from my bone broth?

BIRDIE’S GIVES BACK

When we got Prince, I became aware of the huge problem we have with backyard breeders and the over population of Pit Bull-type dogs in animal shelters not just here in Atlanta, but all across the states. When we decided we wanted to add to the family, we adopted Cinqué from Atlanta Humane Society and BabyGirl is a “foster fail success” from Dekalb County Animal Services/LifeLine Animal Project. At the end of every year - a donation will go to an organization(s) that either rescues and/or helps with spaying/neutering animals and to my local animal shelters. The charities chosen for 2021 are:

KIRKWOOD CARES

Kirkwood Cares is a committee of the Kirkwood Neighbors Organization 501(c)(3) that exists to fight displacement in our neighborhood by providing critical repairs to low-income neighbors' homes. We primarily accomplish this through meeting neighbors, understanding their repair needs, hiring licensed & insured contractors to make the repairs (often at reduced rates), and fundraising to cover the costs of the repairs. We also coordinate volunteer opportunities for gutter cleaning, painting, and light construction projects.
