About Bert

Meet Bert! This little guy is seeking a quiet home without young children. He thrives in the company of other cats and requires a feline companion in his new household. Bert was born to a feral cat colony and has spent much of his life with fellow kitties, which makes him more at ease around them than with humans. His adjustment to shelter life has been a bit tough; he's still quite shy and fearful. He needs patient owners who are willing to help him come out of his shell in a calm environment. Bert is a sweet kitten and has received all his vaccinations, been neutered, and microchipped. If you feel you have the patience to help this gentle soul, visit our shelter in Boston. Ready to make a difference in Bert's life?
