Bernie

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Bernie is a male domestic shorthair kitten aged 11 months. This playful black and white kitten is looking for his forever home. He grew up in a Romanian shelter with lots of other cats and has been in foster with us for months, despite being super cuddly and loving people. Bernie loves to play with toys and is even good at fetch with bottle caps! He is great at finding entertainment from items not intended to be cat toys as is typical of cats. He likes to climb the cat tower and often sticks his tongue out! Bernie is super fun- like all kittens! He is affectionate with people and is very sociable with other cats. Bernie would love another cat or kitten in his home but it is not essential. He could also be homed with a calm, cat friendly dog. We are looking for a home where he can go outside after a settling period, or an indoor home (which has a catio as an added bonus) Bernie is neutered, vaccinated (including rabies) and microchipped. He tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Bernie, fostered Brandon, Suffolk If you are interested please message or call between 9am to 5pm Mon – Fri or 9am to 4pm Sat. .

About Bernie

What life with Bernie looks like

Bernie is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Safe Rescue for Dogs in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bernie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bernie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Safe Rescue for Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bernie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bernie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Safe Rescue for Dogs will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Bernie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bernie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Safe Rescue for Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bernie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
