Bernie — Big Tomcat, Bigger Heart<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Bernie.<br/><br/>My story started on the streets of San Francisco after I was abandoned and left to fend for myself. Thankfully, those days are behind me, and now I’m ready to find a loving home where I can finally settle in for good.<br/><br/>I’m a big, handsome tomcat with an even bigger heart. After a little time to get my bearings, I quickly showed my foster family what a sweet boy I am. I absolutely love pets and enjoy spending time near my people, whether I'm following you around the house or simply hanging out nearby.<br/><br/>One of my favorite things in the world is having my head brushed. The moment the brush comes out, I'm in heaven. I’m also very food motivated, which makes it easy to win me over, and I have excellent litter box manners.<br/><br/>I have a playful side too and enjoy toys and interactive fun. While I can sometimes be a little cautious when adjusting to new situations, my curiosity and affectionate nature always shine through. I’m comfortable being picked up, enjoy human companionship, and seem to wear a cute little smile wherever I go.<br/><br/>Because I can be a bit sensitive to new sights and sounds, I think I’d be happiest in a quieter home where I can continue to build my confidence and settle in at my own pace. Once I feel safe, I’m a loving companion who enjoys being close to my people and soaking up all the affection I can get.<br/><br/>Concerned about me being FIV+? Don’t be—there’s lots of helpful information out there to put your mind at ease. I can live a long, healthy life, meow. If you’d like to learn more, here’s a great resource from Cornell University FIV Guide.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will happily keep you company and never say no to pets, treats, or a good head brushing, I just might be your guy.<br/><br/>Want to see more of me?
