BARNIE  GIRL (AKA Shorty Pants) --  Needs a foster and a HOME - WHAT a CHARACTER!!   MEET BARNIE — OUR ADORABLE, SHORT & SQUAT BREAD-BOX KITTY! Our small rescue is FULL, and we have no place for Barnie to go. We are desperately hoping to find this sweet girl a foster or forever home. Barnie is super cute, short in every direction, and looks like a big kitten! She has a BIG personality to go with her compact little body. ❤️ She is: ✨ A talker — she loves to have conversations with you! ✨ Very affectionate and loves to be petted ✨ Happy to be near you ✨ Loves to lie on the bed with you ✨ Loves to run and PLAY ✨ Not demanding or overly needy ✨ A great working cat Barnie even enjoys being picked up and held. She truly has come a long way! BARNIE'S STORY Barnie’s journey began when she was a community (feral) cat who became pregnant while still just a big kitten herself. She was trapped with her kittens with the intention of being spayed and released. Her kittens quickly found homes, but we soon discovered something very important about Barnie: She wasn't truly feral. She WANTED to trust people. ❤️ While recovering from her spay, Barnie discovered that she loved gentle pets, kind voices, and human attention. Since then, she has made incredible progress toward becoming a wonderful house cat. Today, Barnie is a beautiful, affectionate girl who enjoys being with people, being petted, and even being picked up and held. WHAT BARNIE NEEDS All shelters and rescues are currently over capacity, and we are a small rescue trying to make the best possible situation for ALL of the cats in our care. Barnie would do best in a home with no other cats, as she can be selective about her feline companions. Could she eventually accept another cat? Possibly — but we simply cannot predict that. We do not normally pay for fosters, but we provide the food and other supplies Barnie needs. ❤️ FIV POSITIVE — BUT STILL A WONDERFUL CAT! Barnie has tested positive for FIV, but she is young and may even clear the virus over time. We have seen this happen before. And even if Barnie remains FIV-positive, our veterinarian has confirmed that she can live a long, normal, healthy life just like any other cat. Our rescue has FIV-positive cats who have lived for decades. FIV does not change the fact that Barnie is a loving, playful, affectionate cat who deserves a home of her own. ✨ Barnie deserves a loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and adored. ✨ FOSTER OR ADOPTION ✔️ Always a trial basis — for BOTH foster and final homes! ✔️ We provide all food and other necessary supplies. ✔️ If circumstances ever change, we will always take our cats back — now or in the future. We want everyone involved — Barnie AND her people — to be happy. INTERESTED IN BARNIE?
