About Bernadette

Bernadette is a sweet and loving adult cat who knows how to enjoy the simple things — a beam of sunlight, a good perch, and a gentle hand. She’s most content up high, taking in her world, but is always happy to come down for chin and head rubs. When offered a wet treat, Bernadette will gently lick your fingers in gratitude, showing her affectionate side. She builds strong bonds with her people and genuinely thrives on companionship and focused attention. While she’s great with children and loves their calm affection, Bernadette isn’t looking to share her household with other animals — she prefers to be the solo furry royalty in her domain. Give her quiet, sunny corners and a family of her own, and she’ll bring calm comfort to your home. Bernadette was born on May 2, 2020, making her a Taurus — loyal, steady, and drawn to cozy routines.
