My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hi there! I’m Barny, a handsome red tabby with striking stripes and a big personality to match. I’m a playful, confident guy who’s always up for some fun and a little adventure. I like to stay active and engaged — life’s too interesting to just sit around! Whether it’s chasing toys, exploring new spots, or spending time with my favorite humans, I bring plenty of energy and charm to every moment. After some fun, I’m happy to relax nearby and enjoy your company. I’m a good-looking, playful cat with a big heart and an even bigger love for fun. If you’re looking for a companion who’ll keep you entertained and make every day brighter, I think we’d make a great team!

Estimated Birthdate: 1/1/2022

Likes: Exploring, humans, and playtime - I love to show off my athletic side!

Dislikes: Being bored - Life's too interesting to just sit around!

Volunteer Update:  When I first met Barny he immediately wanted to "own" me.  He rubbed against me, licked my leg and then looked me in the eye as if you say, now it's your turn.  I couldn't help but notice his gorgeous coat.  It includes spots as often seen in Bengal cats.

To schedule a meet/greet with this pawsome kitty, we recommend that you complete a Pre-Adoption Application, which is available here:   https://www.shelteringhands.org/adoptionapplication
