My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gizmo!

Gizmo is a total sweetheart of a cat. When his foster mom comes in the door, he instantly starts talking and quickly moves to be by her side. He will follow her around the room, meowing and rubbing against her legs, letting her know he would like to be pet. Gizmo loves both giving and receiving affection, and will headbutt you often to let you know he wants more petting! He is a great hangout buddy for watching tv or working from home.

Gizmo also has a playful side! He loves chasing his wand toy and batting around toy mice. If you stop swinging the wand toy, prepare to hear his many noises as he talks to the wand and wills it to move- it is so cute! When he's not playing, Gizmo enjoys watching the world go by out the window in his cozy cat tree.

Gizmo has a shy nature, and does not like loud noises. He would do best in a quiet household with a patient adopter who will give him lots of yummy treats and time to open up. In his quiet foster home, he warmed up quickly and now wants nothing more than to spend time in the company of his foster mom. But we know what he wants more than anything is the company of his forever family.

Do you think Gizmo sounds like the purrrrfect cat for you? Email his foster mom at jfharris453@gmail.com to learn more about him!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.

Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.

Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!

Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.

What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.

More about this shelter

BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
