Marshmallow is a sweet, playful boy who has come a long way since coming to BARCS as a scared little guy! Marshmallow arrived at BARCS through no fault of his own with a group of cats, and entered foster care with one of his siblings, who has since been adopted.
He played a lot with his brother and would make a great playmate for another playful cat. He also loves playing with toys, whether chasing a wand toy or entertaining himself with his favorite mouse. When he`s settled down from play, he snoozes adorably in his favorite chair and enjoys lounging near his humans from a distance. Marshmallow has gone from being very afraid of people and resisting touch to regularly accepting pets. While he is not currently a cuddly cat, he appreciates attention and clearly has become comfortable with people in his home environment, including following his foster mom from room to room. Marshmallow would benefit from an adopter who will take time to learn and respect his boundaries, especially given his playful `toddler` age.
Marshmallow is a fan favorite among his foster`s moms friends and loved ones, and he is ready for his fur-ever home!

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.
