Meet Garfield! A Sweet, Thoughtful Senior Lady Looking for Love
Garfield is a gentle, lovable 13-year-old kitty who treasures life’s simple comforts; curling up in cozy spots, quietly observing her favorite people, and relaxing while the TV hums in the background. At 11lbs, she’s the perfect size for a snug cuddle, and her personality is the ideal balance of affectionate and independent.
Garfield is selective in her interactions and can be cautious when meeting new people, but once she trusts you, she shows her sweet, loyal nature. She enjoys affection on her own terms, making her a wonderful match for someone who understands and appreciates a thoughtful, respectful feline companion.
Garfield came to BARCS through no fault of her own, and she has since flourished in a loving foster home. She loves long, cozy lounging sessions and has formed a special bond with her foster mom’s daughter; eagerly waiting at the door when she knows her favorite person is nearby. Garfield can be a little skittish around men and very young children. She would prefer a home without other cats.
Despite her cautiousness, Garfield blossoms with patient, gentle humans. She also has excellent litter habits and brings a peaceful, comforting presence wherever she settles.
Garfield’s adoption fees are always waived through our Love Lasts Forever program!
To learn more or connect with her foster family, please fill out an online foster adoption application or email catfosters@barcs.org

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website.** Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. See below for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.
Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.
Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!
Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.
What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.
**Please note: Animals listed on our adoption pages may still be on stray hold and pending reunion with their owners, or have an existing pending adoption application.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
