I’m a black and white little gentleman with soft fur, bright eyes, and a very tender heart. I can be pretty shy when I first meet new people. Big noises and busy rooms make me want to find a cozy hiding spot where I feel safe. But please don’t let that fool you — I have so much love to give once I know I can trust you.
The most important thing in my world is my brother. He’s my best friend, my nap buddy, and my courage booster. We do everything together — playing, exploring, and curling up in a little ball of purrs. When I’m unsure, I look to him for reassurance, and that’s when I start to feel brave. Because of our special bond, we need to find a forever home together.
I would do best in a calm, patient home where I can settle in at my own pace. With gentle voices, slow movements, and lots of love, I’ll start coming out for chin scratches and soft pets. Once I feel safe, I’m the sweetest, quietest companion you could ask for.
Interested in adopting me? We recommend submitting a general online adoption application and then heading to the shelter during our normal adoption hours to meet our available animals. Please note: all applications are considered general until the animal has been met. If you have any questions, please contact animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or 410-833-8848 Ext/Opt 2.

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS), was founded in 1927 by a pioneering and compassionate socialite named Elsie Seeger Barton (1886-1983).
In 1902, at age 16, Miss Seeger was stricken with rheumatic fever and was confined to her bed. During that time, her constant companions were the family’s beloved pets. It was at that time that Ms. Seeger resolved to devote her life to the care and humane treatment of companion and service animals. When she became well, she established a refuge for abused and homeless animals on her family’s estate, known as “Thistle Top” on Milford Road in Pikesville, MD, overlooking Gwynn’s Falls Dam. In 1908 she married Bolling Walker Barton, Jr., President of Barton, Duet & Koch Paper Company.
