My story

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

Hello, darling. I’m Bartleby.

Yes, I’m a calico queen with a flair for the dramatic — and by dramatic, I mean I will absolutely disappear into a mountain of blankets and expect you to admire my technique. Burrowing is my specialty. Give me a soft comforter, a fluffy throw, or a cozy pile of laundry, and I’ll wiggle my way in until I’m just the tiniest purring lump.

I’m sweet, gentle, and a little quirky in the most lovable way. I enjoy quiet moments, warm laps, and soft voices. I might take a minute to settle into a new space, but once I feel safe, I’ll show you my affectionate side — complete with slow blinks, tiny nose boops, and the cutest little blanket-nesting routine you’ve ever seen.

My dream home? One with plenty of cozy spots, kind humans, and lots of soft things for me to tunnel into. I promise to keep you company on chilly evenings, provide top-tier snuggle services, and add a splash of calico charm to your life.

If you’ve got the blankets, I’ve got the love. Let’s curl up together.

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.
