Meet the enchanting Bernie Smokes, a delightful gentle giant who has traded his challenging days outdoors for cozy naps indoors. This magnificent tabby boy is not just big in size, but big in heart! 💖 Can you imagine lounging around, while this sweet soul loafs nearby, eagerly waiting for a tasty treat? 🍖 Bernie is the kind of boy who gets along fabulously with other cats, including his three feline friends in his foster home. While he has his playful moments that will make you chuckle, his true nature is mellow and serene. This is a big guy who respects your space—and that’s because he’s simply waiting for the perfect time to come and nuzzle up next to you! 🌟 Originally, Bernie was thought to be a store cat before he found himself in a backyard in Bed-Stuy, where kind-hearted neighbors cared for him when he got hurt. Now, thanks to them, he’s fully healed and ready to find that loving forever home. He might start off a bit on the shy side, but as soon as he bonds with you, he’ll happily rub against your legs and show off his glorious belly! Get ready for some adorable moments! 🥰 At approximately 5 years old, Bernie is already a neutered, microchipped, vaccinated superstar. He's negative for FeLV and FIV, and has also been dewormed and treated for fleas. 🌈 Now, doesn’t that sound like a treasure waiting to be discovered? Bernie is looking for a special home that understands his gentle spirit and gives him the time he needs to flourish. This isn’t just about adopting a cat; it’s about opening your heart and home to a loving companion who will undoubtedly reward you with affection and friendship! 💕 If you’re ready to meet this beautiful boy and give him all the love he deserves, apply through the Buddy App!
