Meet Bernard. This striking ginger boy is full of life and loves to engage with everyone around him, reminiscent of a playful puppy. Outgoing and affectionate, he thrives on social interaction and enjoys being in the middle of the action. Bernard was discovered behind a house in Newark, possibly a victim of abandonment. Despite a rough start, which included a wound on his cheek, he maintains a spirited affection for people. He enjoys being picked up, lounging on laps, and making new friends. With a touch of sass, Bernard would prefer a home as the only cat, ensuring he has all the attention to himself. He’s best suited for adults or families with older, cat-savvy children who can appreciate his playful personality. Though he is FIV+, he'll receive necessary dental care before adoption. Bernard is a delightful companion who's eager to greet you at the door and weave himself into your daily life. If you're ready for a lively, chatty addition to your family, Bernard might be just the cat for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
