My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Pennington County Humane Society 



Meet Bernie Bernie is a handsome 3-year-old Domestic Short Hair with a striking brown-and-black coat and soulful eyes. He came to us from the city pound, where he was found wandering alone.

Bernie is considered unsocialized to people and may prefer a more independent lifestyle. He's eligible for our heated shop program, where his natural instincts can shine as a working cat helping to keep properties pest-free. He would also be a great fit for a home that values his independence and allows him to come around at his own pace. A heated shop or similar space would be an ideal environment, giving him comfort and safety while still letting him live life on his own terms.

Bernie is ready to leave his shelter days behind and find a forever family or shop placement where he can thrive. Could that be you?

Contact us at 218-681-8045 to learn more about Bernie or arrange a visit.
