About Bert

Bert has spent his years quietly on the sidelines, never a lap cat, and never asking for much—just the comforts of mealtime, some catnip, and other calm feline company. Born in 2010, Bert ended up with Kitty Revolution in 2021, along with Violet, after their elderly person developed Parkinson's and could no longer care for them. The pair narrowly missed euthanasia at animal control, rescued just in time, though a third sibling didn’t make it. Neither Bert nor Violet were ever truly socialized; they fear being touched and won’t warm to petting or cuddles. Their world is best with plenty of windows, sunny patches, soothing quiet, and someone who accepts that trust and affection are likely out of reach. Bert does get along with other cats. If a gentle-hearted soul is willing to share their home with two shy seniors who simply want safety and peace, Bert and Violet are waiting. Bert must be adopted with Violet—these two only feel safe together. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
