Looking for Temporary Home for our Cat, Barnie

Barnie needs a temporary home. He is a 12 year old, neutered male, inside cat that shakes a paw. He has never been outside. He is pretty much self sufficient because his food dish automatically feeds him four times a day. He needs fresh water and his litter cleaned.

He isn’t a lap cat and he stays down off the furniture. He needs a quiet home with no other pets and no young children because they are fast and try to pick him up and he takes awhile to warm up to new people. 

We are in between homes until September 5th. And camping has been stressful for Barnie this past week. 

So if you have a quiet place where he can stay inside you will have a cool furry friend for a few weeks. 

Please call if you can help out. We would be more than happy to give you something for your trouble.

Thanks so much! Pierre and Kim
