Bernie's Story

Hey everyone! Bernie here! <br/>Before becoming a Furball, life was pretty rough for me. I survived freezing temperatures that left me with frostbitten ears, and I was rescued from an abandoned mobile home that caught fire, leaving burns on my back. Between my big tomcat cheeks and battle scars, you can probably tell I’ve been through a lot. But look at me now! All healed up and living my best Furball life! <br/><br/>When I first arrived, I thought humans were absolutely GROSS. I wanted nothing to do with them! But with lots of patience, love, and most importantly... FOOD, I slowly realized these humans weren’t so bad after all! Now? Well, I’m quite the character! <br/><br/>I’m a professional chatterbox with the cutest little baby meow. I spend my days wandering around the playground telling everyone my business. I’m also the official soup-making supervisor! Every single day, I stick my paws through the window and beg like I haven’t eaten in YEARS. It’s exhausting being this hungry, you know. <br/><br/>Treat time is my FAVORITE! I love being right in the middle of the action, although sometimes my famous Bernietude comes out and I throw a few boxing punches at my friends. <br/><br/>I’ve also discovered that being petted feels pretty darn good! Sometimes I get a little overstimulated and give a love whap or a tiny love bite. But don’t worry, I don’t have a single tooth in this big ol’ mouth of mine! <br/><br/>I’m also a certified catnip addict. If there’s catnip around, you can bet I’m rolling in the greens! I love playing with toys, hanging out with my cat buddies, and participating in a good ol’ game of WrestleMania! I’d be happiest in a home with another kitty friend.<br/><br/>I’ve come a LONG way from the scared, beat-up tomcat I once was. All I needed was someone to give me a chance, a little patience, and a whole lot of love. Now I’m ready to find a family who will love my goofy, outgoing, sometimes sassy, toothless self exactly as I am.<br/><br/>Come meet me daily from 1–5 pm at Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary! I’ll be the handsome guy with the big cheeks, tiny meow, and probably an empty stomach. (At least that’s my story!) <br/><br/>My new perfect family NEEDS to understand that it WILL take me a while to adjust at first and I WILL hide as I settle in. Give me time, patience, and use food as a tool to get me out of my shell — I really am a wonderful cat.<br/><br/>I am fully vetted: neutered, microchipped, FIV & FeLV negative, treated for fleas/ticks/and intestinal parasites, and up-to-date on all my vaccinations: distemper, rabies, and FeLV. I require an indoor-only home and, as with all cats — absolutely no declawing.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Bernie, please come visit... we are open daily from 1-5pm (including holidays)... we need to meet you in person! If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@furballcats.com or message us on Facebook: Furball Farm Cat Sanctuary.
