About Bernie Parent

Meet Bernie Parent, a survivor with serious charm. This black and white tuxedo cat was abandoned on New Year's Day and left calling out for days before rescue arrived. Since landing in a foster home, Bernie’s personality has flipped—he’s affectionate, chatty, and always angling for a good cuddle on your lap. He likes company and will fill your home with friendly conversation, but he’s also fine as your only feline. If you have a laid-back cat already, Bernie would blend in, but he won’t mind being a solo star either. Leash training could be a fun adventure with him, yet truly, Bernie prefers lap time to anything else. He’s fully house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Bernie gets along well with cats and is even dog-friendly. Ready to let this bright spirit turn your house into a home? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
