Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bartholamew
Meet Bartholamew, a courageous and intelligent feline who has seen the rougher side of life. At one time Bartholamew lived in a home with his person. When the man passed away family members threw Bart out to fend for himself. He not only had to try to find basic needs like food and water, but he also fought with other males who were not fixed. His past as a cat on the streets taught him resilience and bravery, making him a survivor. Despite his tough, muscular exterior, Bartholamew has a heart as soft as a teddy bear. There is nothing he likes more than some ear and neck scratches. His purrs let you know of his contentment.
Upon being rescued, Bart’s long hair had to be shaved due to matting and prickly burrs through his coat. It won’t be long until he has his majestic locks back. Bart does swat at times—sometimes to let you know he wants more attention, sometimes to let you know he doesn’t like what you’re doing.
Bart is healthy; however, he is positive for FIV, feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV isn’t something to be afraid of and can only be transmitted to cats through deep bite wounds. We encourage adopters to do research and/or speak with their veterinarian about FIV prior to applying for adoption. An attentive adopter will ensure he gets vet care as needed so he can live a good, long life. Bartholamew's smart, quick-witted nature makes him a delightful companion. His bravery and strength, coupled with his big, teddy bear heart, make him the perfect cat for the right home. What is the right home for Bart? Well, Bartholamew needs an home with no young children. Would possibly do well with teens and up if they are respectful of Bart’s needs. Bart does well with female cats and possibly more submissive males but with cats who are dominant he does tend to “square up” ready for a fight- because that is what he has known being left with no choice in the past. We do not know what his history is with dogs.
Adopt Bartholamew and let his courage inspire you, his intelligence amuse you, and his loving nature warm your heart.
