Meet the stately, beautiful Bertie. This girl was rescued by the Haven in the late spring/early summer of 2022. She was the subject of yet another post pleading for help for a cat in need.
Bertie was alone, with a large open wound on one of her paws. It was practically torn apart. To try to save her life, the Haven doctor had to immediately amputate her leg.
Like other cats with amputations, Bertie has adapted well to the loss of one of her front legs. She can still jump, run and climb like any other cat; she just had to learn it all again on a different basis than before.
Bertie is estimated to be 1 1/2 to 2 years old. She is described as a friendly cat, very affectionate with the local team in the Haven. That is why we expect that she will be very happy with her own person(s) and can develop a very strong bond.
Bertie gets along well with her feline friends in the Haven and our Haven dogs. We expect she will fit in well with most households, including those with respectful children.
She is sterilized, microchipped and vaccinated against common cat diseases, including rabies. We also had her required rabies blood test done at an EU/UK certified laboratory. She will travel with her original lab certificate and her vaccination record.
Bertie is litter box trained. She is an extremely affectionate girl who can give a lot of love. We don't know her history, but it is unlikely that she ever owned her own home. Bertie must be an indoor/house cat, or if she is allowed outside, it must be in a completely cat-proof garden (with the special fence) or a catio. Under no circumstances should she be allowed outside to forage or into a garden that is not cat-proof. Given what this girl has already been through, we owe her a continued sense of safety and security.
Can you imagine this special girl in your home? With her deep, loving eyes, looking at you and yours?
