My story

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

I’m Barbie, and today my eyes welled up with tears because I’m still without a home.

I`ve known love before — the deep, steady kind that wraps around your life like a warm blanket. My human and I adored each other, but when she passed away, my whole world shifted. One day I had a place to belong, filled with familiar scents and gentle routines…. and the next, I was grieving in a place I didn’t understand.

I’ve always had these sad eyes, ever since I was found as a tiny kitten wrapped in barbed wire, hence my name. Life started painfully for me, but love changed everything. And now, being without it again? It hurts more than I can put into words.

Though no one can ever replace my beloved human, my heart still longs for companionship. I’m about 4 years old and previously lived with another cat named Rosey, who is also at the shelter. It would be wonderful if someone could adopt both of us together, but we do well independently and could be adopted separately. I would also thrive with a friendly feline or a gentle, laid-back dog. What I want more than anything is someone who sees my heartbreak and whispers, “Come here, sweet girl… you’re safe with me now.”

Barbie is faithfully waiting for someone special to cherish her. Could that be you?
