Curious Georgette is a quiet, gentle kitty with a soft presence and an even softer heart. She’s a low-key companion who enjoys the simple pleasures in life—long naps, gazing out the window to people-watch, and batting around her favorite toys (especially kicker toys she can grab and bunny-kick with her back paws).
Georgette can be a little shy when she first arrives in a new space, but don’t let that fool you—she warms up quickly and loves being near her people. One of her sweetest habits is sitting close by and giving gentle little “bumps” to ask for head or chin scratches. She’s affectionate without being demanding and prefers to keep all four paws on the ground rather than being picked up. Loud noises aren’t her favorite, so she’d do best in a calm, relaxed home.
Her foster’s favorite memory is watching Georgette peek out from under furniture or around corners when she first arrived—curious, cautious, and quietly observing before deciding it was safe to come say hello.
Georgette is very chill with an energy level around a 3/10. She’s litter box trained, doesn’t meow much, and would be happiest in a peaceful household with patient adopters who will let her settle in at her own pace. While she’s not a lap cat right now, she clearly enjoys being close to her humans and may continue to grow more confident over time.
If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet companion who will keep you company without overwhelming you, Curious Georgette might be your perfect match. Please complete an application and email catfosters@barcs.org if you would like to meet her!

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.
