Hello, my name is Bertha. I enjoy treats and compliments.  I originally was found as a stray, and taken in by a good Samaritan. I was in my old home for about eight months but I was scared of the kids that lived there - they were much too noisy for my liking. I keep my beautiful white coat shiny and clean with several long baths a day. I would be a sweet girl in my new home if my humans were patient with me, and I've begun to show affection here as well. Although I might be independent and standoffish sometimes, I have the potential to come out of my shell and flourish in a new home - preferably a nice quiet one! I am currently on medication to help my anxiety here at the shelter. It has helped a lot!  I am more relaxed and give happy blinks. I don't care for other cats, but if your dog is polite I could probably co-exist.  After getting used to my new digs for a few months, I would enjoy taking sunny naps in the backyard. Really, I'm a low-maintenance cat and just ask for a little bit of understanding - if you think you can do that, I would love to take the time to get to know each other and maybe even go home with you, if you would give me that chance. (Make sure to have plenty of treats to win me over, too!) Bertha, unlike our other past indoor/outdoor cats, has not been FIV/FeLV tested. To our best knowledge, the likely hood of her having either is very slim. She is not able to be restrained to humainly test. Bertha thanks you for understanding, and for not making her endure such a stressful activity! show less
