Big Bertha's Story

Big Bertha is a 4-year-old beauty with a big heart and a deep love for people. She is incredibly sweet and happily soaks up all the pets and attention you are willing to give. She loves to cuddle with her foster humans, even sleeping in bed with them! Bertha enjoys playing with toys but is still learning how to interact and play with other cats and dogs. She does well coexisting with them after slow and proper introductions. Bertha is very much a girls' girl who loves pajamas, movie nights, and relaxing at home. She is also preparing for her "wellness era," which mostly involves portion control and encouragement to lose a few extra pounds!
