You know how people sometimes will describe a particular cat as being “just like a dog”? Well, that’s Bernard in a nutshell!
Bernard is 0% shy. The moment he sees a person, his first inclination is to jump into their lap and then climb up and lick their face! He is extremely human oriented and adores human attention and affection. He seems like the kind of cat that could be leash trained and visit your local coffee shop with you! He is very vocal and wants to be a part of whatever you’re doing at any given moment. As a bonus, he has incredibly silky soft fur and an adorable permanently startled facial expression. But don’t worry, he’s not actually startled—he’s just so excited to be here!
Bernard is a big fan of churu, catnip, and pretty much any kind of cat toy around. However, there is one thing he is really not a fan of—most other cats! So far from what we’ve observed, he’s not too bothered by the shyer, more low-key cat residents. But he REALLY does not like our more outgoing and confident residents, especially if they are male. It’s possible that with slow and careful introductions, he could get along with a chill female companion. He’d probably be happiest as an only cat who didn’t have to compete for any of your attention!
Bernard is approximately one year old. With his friendly and outgoing nature, he’d probably do well in a variety of different types of households, including those with children, as long as he has plenty of attention. We haven’t observed him around dogs.
All cats are up-to-date on age/weight appropriate vaccines, exams, FIV/FeLV tested (negative), flea treated, dewormed, spayed/neutered and microchipped. If not completed at the time of adoption, any remaining initial vetting will be covered by the rescue.

- You must be 21 years or older.
- All animals in your home must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed / neutered.

- We do not place animals as gifts for others.
- Adopted animals must be kept as indoor companions.

We aim to provide high quality care for the well-being of rescued cats and dogs until they are placed in forever homes. All animals are regularly vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed / neutered and microchipped. They are routinely treated for fleas and worms as well as any medical issues.
