About Berty
Berty is a handsome young lad who's affectionate, playful and a bit of a character once he overcomes initial shyness!
What's he like with other animals?
He loves the company of other cats and is best suited to a multiple cat household. He's not put off with cats hissing at him, he will respect their communication, give them space and try and befriend them again later.
He's also great with small dogs! He's the type who will get along with everyone in the house. He's very gentle and has never shown any hostility or used his claws, and he loves to play.
What's he like with kids?
We haven't had Bertie in foster care with kids but we believe he'd be fine with kids over 8yrs once he got to know them. He'd actually love some kids to play with and keep him busy! His favourite toys are feather wands :D
What's he like left alone for long periods?
With other pets to keep him occupied Berty is a great through the day. He does need at least one other playful fur-friend to keep his mind stimulated, as he's been known to protest with a yeowllll if he's bored.
Access to an outdoor enclosure would also be wonderful for him as he can get all the enrichment of outside sights and smells. Because he's a talker he may not suit someone who works from home in a role where Zoom meetings are held, as he may try to steal the show :D
Any things you need to know as an adopter?
Like most cats, Bertie is shy at first until he figures out where he is and the rules and who's who. Then he's a happy, loving little chap. We request that all adopters set up their new cat with it's own room for a week or so, to ensure they can acclimatise to the change without being too overwhelmed.
Don't miss out on this spunky boy, he's going to make a family very happy!
Adoption details
*** PLEASE NOTE OUR INDOOR CAT POLICY
Most of our cats were either born, or lived for some time, on the street and have only ever known the outside world to be a source of fear and survival of the fittest. So although they've been rehabilitated and are in most ways domesticated by adoption, they will 100% return to fearful behaviour if let outside. Hence we have an indoor only policy (or indoor with access to an enclosure, netted area or leash walking) unless clearly stated in an individual cat's profile. Please consider this before making an enquiry. Thankyou <3

About Sunny Days:
Sunny Days Rescue & Rehab is a registered charity, foster care network and private shelter, focusing on the rescue, rehab and rehoming of ‘true stray’ cats - cats who've never had experience with humans or a human home.
The overall objective of our organisation is to:
💕 successfully physically and psychologically rehabilitate terrified cats and find them homes which understand their needs and are compassionate to their history,
💕 remove complete stray cat colonies from the community and ensure they will never breed again or be back on the street again,
💕 provide an example of the potential to rehab unsocialised cats to other organisations who may not have understood or attempted to achieve that potential before,
💕 educate the community on how many stray cats are hiding in the dark corners of community trying to survive and that desexing is the only way to begin to lessen these numbers and the resulting suffering,
💕 provide an opportunity for volunteers to learn animal husbandry and handling skills to a high level which may help them in their future work in animal welfare and as pet owners,
💕 and provide an opportunity for compassionate people to come together and pool their skills for the betterment of a demographic of animal that is mostly ignored and misunderstood despite us humans being their source and the reason they even exist.
Please support us in our important work by clicking the pink DONATE button on this page. Thankyou! 💕
