But this four-month-old kitty of the same name is anything but, taking the spotlight and so much more.
Bernie has an inquisitive nature and is looking for a home in which he can explore every inch.
And at the same time, he will be sussing out every nook and cranny, trying to find something new and fun to play with.
He would love you even more if you filled your house with plenty of toys and climbing trees, just to make sure he has plenty to do while he's finding his paws in the new environment.
Whether you're a family looking for a little furry friend to keep the kids at bay, or a retired couple looking for some company, he would be the perfect addition to any family.
To meet Bernie, visit or phone 5480 3005.campaspe.vic.gov.au
You will need to contact the shelter and make an appointment before visiting.
