More About Berta

Date of birth: 4/26/05

12/9/09: Berta is a pretty 4 year old Tortoiseshell with an absolutely beautiful coat. She has free roam of her cat room and she gets along very well with other cats. She likes to play with toys, especially when someone has a string or feather toy for her to chase.

Berta is a bit bashful with people until she gets to know you. Although she forgets that she's shy when you get out a feather toy for her to play with! She'd do best in a quiet home. She's been at our shelter for a very long time and having another cat or cats in the home would probably make her feel more comfortable and make her adjustment easier, too.

Berta came to us as a kitten. Someone had found her and her brother in a dumpster. Her brother has recently been adopted.

Berta has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and tested for FIV and feline leukemia. Her bashfulness has kept her from finding a home, but she's a sweet kitty and we know she'd make a nice little companion for someone.

MORE ON ADOPTING OUR CATS...

> Please visit our Petfinder home page or our web site at hsgkc.org for more information about our adoption process. An application is required to adopt a pet and applicants must meet our adoption requirements. You can download a pet adoption application from our web site and then fax or email it back to us.

> All of our cats and kittens have been tested for FIV and feline leukemia and vaccinated before they are posted on Petfinder. They will be spayed or neutered and microchipped before going home, including kittens. If you adopt a kitten who is too young to have received all three kitten boosters and/or the first rabies vaccination, you may bring your kitten to us when they're due and we'll give those vaccinations at no extra charge. Please visit our web site for our adoption fees and all that's included.

> Take advantage of our ADOPT-A-BUDDY program! Adopt two cats or kittens together at a greatly reduced adoption fee. It's a win-win-win-- the felines get a friend to play with, you save some money, and we get to place more cats and kittens in good homes!

To reach us in regard to adoptions:
> Our email is checked Monday thru Friday by our Humane Services Director.
> Monday thru Friday call our Humane Services Director at 913.596.1000 ext. 13.
> Saturdays call our main line at 913.596.1000

Thank you for searching for a shelter pet!

Berta is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
