Meet Oreo Cheesecake, an 8-year-old gentleman with excellent taste in naps, snacks, and sunny windowsills. This handsome guy came to BARCS as a lost cat and has been settling into foster life like a total pro. He settled in his foster home within a couple hours and showed off his easygoing and charming personality!
Oreo Cheesecake loves to observe the world from a windowsill, take long naps on blankets or any comfy spot he can find, and enjoys some playful bursts throughout the day. Break out a string or wand toy and he`s in-but his true weakness is a Churu. He`ll do just about anything for a Churu and comes running when he realizes it`s treat time! Mealtime is his favorite event of the day, and he`ll let you know he`s excited with a chorus of happy meows while weaving around your legs in anticipation.
He enjoys being close to his people and will often follow you from room to room or settle right beside you on the couch, especially if he gets head and chin scratches. While he`s not a big lap cat, he`s very affectionate in his own gentle way. He`ll get to know your routine quickly and follow right along to keep you company.
Oreo Cheesecake has excellent litter box manners. He is FIV+, which simply means he has a compromised immune system-but many FIV+ cats live long, healthy, happy lives, especially as indoor-only cats. Because of this, he qualifies for an adoption package that waives his fee.
He has been wonderfully tolerant around a very energetic toddler, remaining calm and unbothered even when she got a bit close for comfort and loves the older kids he has met. While he hasn`t been tested with other pets yet, his mellow personality suggests he may do well with a thoughtful, slow introduction if needed.
If you`re looking for a sweet, laid-back companion who wants to be near you, loves a cozy routine, and will absolutely steal your heart (and your snacks), Oreo Cheesecake might be your perfect match. Please complete an application and email catfosters@barcs.org if you would like to meet him!

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.
Address: 2490 Giles Road, Baltimore, MD 21225
