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.

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.
