Adoption information
About Bertha
Bertha is a delightful little kitten with a sweet balance of playfulness and affection. She enjoys pats and attention on her own terms, but when it’s nap time she turns into a total snuggle bug and loves falling asleep right on you, especially on a cold day.
Her days are filled with playing, exploring, and the occasional serious nap. She adores other cats and loves playing with her mum, whether that’s chasing toys, wrestling (usually losing due to the size difference!), or snuggling up nearby. Bertha is curious, friendly, and always keen to see what’s going on around her.
One of her funniest quirks is her fascination with tails — since mum doesn’t have one, Bertha is absolutely fixated on other cats’ tails and loves to stalk and hunt them whenever she gets the chance.
