Barney is warming up to the staff at Milo. He's soft hearted, shy and purrs when relaxed with you. He comes out to greet us and be pet then goes into his safe place.
He smiles when knows he's loved (yes, he does) and will blossom with a chance to trust and be loved in a calm home. His best pal is cat Sweetie Sweetie at Milo. They often sleep close together inside a kitty condo.

Barney is kind of a shy boy, and needs time to trust, preferring to hang out with other cats (especially Sweetie Sweetie) more than humans. He hasn't had that much experience with humans. He was a stray that was taken in by a kind-hearted woman who loved cats, especially Barney. Unfortunately she was unable to keep Barney just when he was starting to come out of his shell. He's non-aggressive but still slightly scared and a bit standoffish. But if you give this little guy a chance to get comfortable with you, we believe Barney will blossom into a lovely cat. Barney would benefit from some one-on-one time with a kind, patient person.

More about this rescue
The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found.
Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation Sanctuary is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. The Milo Sanctuary animals typically (but not exclusively) are harder to adopt animals and those needing more rural type homes, such as dogs with social or behavioural challenges, feral cats, horses and other farm animals. The Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center is where the majority of our new rescue intake takes place, typically friendly, adoptable cats and dogs, puppies and kittens rescued from shelters where they were facing euthanasia. The Sanctuary is where highly active or reactive dogs can go and have plenty of space, other canine companions (if they are dog friendly) and live in a stress free environment until such time as the right adoption match can be found.
The Milo Sanctuary is what enables Milo to be a No-Kill organization. Milo brings dogs back and forth from the Adoption Center (MPR) to the Sanctuary to give dogs a break from the stresses of the kennel environment and back to MPR later to try again at being adopted. Potential adopters also do come up to the Sanctuary to adopt, by appointment.
