Our Little Bearen

12th Annual Pet Stroll | Eugene, OR

God saw you getting tired,
He did what he thought best;
He put His arms around you,
And said, "Come and rest."

He opened up His golden gates,
On that heartbreaking day;
And with His arms around you,
You gently slipped away.

It broke my heart to lose you,
You did not go alone;
A part of me went with you,
The day God called you home.

Bearen Bendtzen

Bearen Bendtzen
Inspired foundation into existence
Position on Board: Honorary Chairman of the Board


Family: I have one girl, Megan, and one stepsister, Nikita

Work: I work all day at being inspiring, this is not the easiest job you know. When I nap, I have to rotate into several different adorable positions so that people watching will want to stop what they are doing to come squeeze me. I also have to be very brave. I am very good at that, all my different doctors will tell you that! Also I have attended every single board meeting, I like to keep an eye on things to make sure everyone remembers why they are here.

Play: I love napping, sleeping, resting, lounging, relaxing, snoozing, dozing, stretching – especially on these awesome heated floors, what a great invention! I love to play hide and seek and I LOOOVE karate chops on my back it feels sooooooo good! I am super curious about the vents in this house and I’d really like to check out what’s on the other side of that glass. I guess you could say I have always been mischievous. I somehow managed to break my foot when I was just a few months old and then I ran away for a few days less than a year later. And then the really big incident with the antifreeze, yowza. That led to a bunch of different things over the years… but I’ve always managed to pull through, even when everyone else was ready to give up on me; my mom never has and so I have to be strong for her. She says I am a trooper. She also calls me robo-kitty, her miracle cat, but my favorite one is Mr. B.

Favorites: cereal: Tuna Crunch; ice cream: Vanilla Bean; book: A Tale of 2 Kitties; movie: seafood & biscuits, yum sounds good to me; song: Billie Jean

Silly Stuff: Well we are always pretty silly around here. And we’ve managed to help a lot of people and pets and that makes me proud. Someday maybe I’ll share the meaning of life with my mom so she can come join me & Nikita on this hammock.
