Canine Bret had bloodwork done the day before and was a perfect match for the kitten’s blood type. The transfusion was a success and the kitten is in recovery.

The Nebraska Human Society also noted in its post, “A round of ap-paws for Bret Michaels for being such a calm and brave boy, and to our vet team for their quick thinking.”

“Bret Michaels is waiting patiently for his forever family!” the agency added with a link for adoption information.

People Magazine reported how the post went viral and made its way to the singer Bret Michaels. He enjoyed the story so much that he decided to adopt the dog with his namesake.

Michales said, “I could not have been more touched and more honored to adopt Bret Michaels the husky, knowing that he gave blood to save the life of a kitten.”

“I could not work fast enough to adopt this husky and extend the awesome quality of little Bret Jr.’s life,” he added.

Michaels also noted that the timing was right. He said his family lost their 14-year-old dog, Phoenix, earlier in the year.

Then he noted, “So this story brought a smile back into my family’s life.”

“I work diligently with my family and many people to save and improve the lives of many pets,” Michales went on.

“We have always donated to incredible pet drives and charities, and will continue to Bret Jr., who … has now found a loving family that also includes our two rescue shepherds, Nova and Draco,” he concluded.
