Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Barry is the polite older gentleman you have always wanted in your life.

Barry is a 7-yo sweetie pie who will quickly become your new best friend. Barry was rescued as a stray but has adjusted farily quickly to home life. He must have had a loving home before he ended up on the street. Barry is an incredibly friendly boy who loves pets, being picked up for hugs, and being next to you whenever there's a chance. He isn't a big treat guy but does like his food. Due to dental disease, Barry had to have a dental which causes him to have a little cute blep on occasion. He can eat wet and dry very well!

Barry likes to play but so far he has shown to prefer pets and cuddling to wild play time. If you're looking for a gentle, well-mannered, chill lap cat, Barry is your guy. He is your Netflix and chill buddy and is happy to get cozy and watch movies with you on the couch with a soft blanket. Don't think of Barry as lazy though, he is a very hard worker making biscuits by the dozen every single day. Please also be open to lots of purring and happy kitty sounds. Barry is a fabulous conversationalist and loves to ask for affection.

Barry is the perfect cat for an adult household looking for a calm and loving companion. If you're looking for a devoted friend, Barry will surely bring warmth and love to your home.

We aren't sure how Barry would be with cats or dogs, but if adopted to a home with other animals, but we think he would do well if he has a very slow introduction to any resident animal.

Barry's recent blood work showed indicators for hyperthyroidism. He has started medication which is one pill once a day, which he takes like a champ! We are planning to recheck his thyroid again very soon to see how he's doing on the medication.

Vaccinated for FVRCP and Rabies. Neutered and microchipped and FeLV / FIV negative.
