My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Meet Bernadette: A Loving Calico Looking for a Forever Home!**

Bernadette is a delightful 1-year-old domestic short hair female calico with a heart full of love to give. Unfortunately, her previous owner had to make the difficult decision to surrender her. After losing his first cat for several months, he adopted Bernadette, who quickly became a cherished companion. However, when his missing cat returned, Bernadette found it hard to share her space and affection.

Bernadette is not fond of other cats, which is why her owner made the tough choice to help her find a new home where she can be the center of attention. She is a sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on human companionship. Bernadette loves to be held and will shower you with affection in return.

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving feline friend who prefers to be your one and only, Bernadette might be the perfect match for you. She’s ready to fill your home with warmth and joy—just give her the love she deserves!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adopting an animal from the OBX SPCA is simple! Please take a look at our adoptable animals to determine which pet/s interests you. Please do NOT complete the Petango application online, as we do not receive them. Contact us with questions about the animal of interest – you can either email our Cat Care Manager, kellieb@obxspca.org, or our Kennel Manager, leanns@obxspca.org. You can also call our main number, 252-475-5620, to find out more. Or simply stop by shelter to browse and meet our animals and our staff members will assist with any introductions.
You will need to bring your driver’s license, a cat carrier if adopting a cat, and a leash and collar if adopting a dog. Cats, or a pair of cats/kittens, are adoptable for $50 and dogs are adoptable for $85 or $175, depending on size and age.
We do ask that you remain open-minded about which animal you choose. Our staff of matchmakers know the cats and dogs very well and are dedicated to introducing you to the pets that will fit your lifestyle! Once you meet your match and are ready to adopt, you will complete any necessary applications and paperwork in person while at the shelter. The next step is that our staff and managers will review the applications for each animal, and if approved, you can take the animal home that very day! If any post-adoption instructions are required, they will be given to you before you take your new pet home.
