This poor 10-year-old cat named Bertha had to watch potential adopters come in day after day and watched them choose kittens over her. According to the caption of the TikTok, @littleguild says that she is a laid-back cat who is just looking for a home where she can look out the window all day and watch the birds.

Finally, it was confirmed that Bertha was adopted into her forever home! She finally had a family that chose her, and now she gets to live happily ever after, likely spending her days looking out the window.
