As an older cat, Barney does have some quirks to manage. He isn't the best at grooming himself and has some weepy eyes, so he could use your help with brushing sessions and face wipes. After spending time outside he has some litter box confusion. His foster mom has found that multiple low uncovered boxes and pee pads can keep away unwanted messes. He has had multiple tests and nothing is medically wrong with him. It is possible that once he is in a home that doesn't have years of foster cats smells, his problems with this will go away. He also has some mild arthritis, but so far it doesn't keep him from getting up on the bed or over to the window sill.
He does well with other cats but would prefer someone chill or older since he only likes short play sessions between naps. We don't know how he does with dogs or kids.
Please check out his video and hear him purr: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iUSBihlxeQw .
Would YOU like to offer Barney his forever home in which to live-out his golden years? Barney is living with his foster family and with foster pal Finnegan (FCID# 02/28/2024 - 901). Please submit our no-obligation adoption application for a meet and greet or to adopt: https://forgottencats.org/adoption-application/. Thank you! (Foster: Teresa S.)

More about this rescue
Founded in 2003, Forgotten Cats, Inc. is the leading trap, neuter, vaccinate, return (TNVR) nonprofit in the region. Servicing Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, Forgotten Cats specializes in TNVR in order to humanely reduce the homeless cat population. Valuing all lives, Forgotten Cats is a no kill organization.
Forgotten Cats’ TNVR services involve working with colony caregivers to identify all cats within a colony, after which we trap, transport, sterilize, vaccinate, recuperate, and return feral cats to caregivers. Our goal is to stabilize each colony and ensure zero population growth. We achieve this by trapping and sterilizing every single cat in the entire colony.
About 20 percent of the cats that enter our clinics each year are not feral. Stray cats, or homeless domesticated cats, and feral kittens under 12 weeks old, are held and placed into our adoption network. With ten off-site adoption centers, our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to prepare our cats for adoption and ensure they go to loving, forever homes.
Forgotten Cats serves the community by offering affordable TNVR services, low cost spay/neuter services for pet & stray cats, and spay/neuter education.
Forgotten Cats has over 700 volunteers that are committed to helping this organization fulfill its mission. We receive no government funding, and depend solely on private donations, grants, fundraising events, and bequests to complete our mission.
Since 2003, Forgotten Cats has sterilized over 130,000 cats across the region, which has prevented the birth and suffering of millions of kittens. Additionally, we have placed over 14,000 cats into loving, forever homes. At our no-kill clinic/shelters, we welcome the FIV+ & FeLV+ cats, the blind, the 3-legged, the lost, those that have been abused, and those that have been abandoned. We offer love and hope to the Forgotten Cats from all walks of life.
Vision:
We envision a day when kittens are no longer born on the streets but rather in loving homes to responsible owners.
Mission:
Our mission is to humanely reduce the homeless cat population and to stop the suffering of the thousands of kittens born to abandoned, homeless cats.
Not quite sure you are ready to be a full-time cat parent? Please consider our foster program! You can care for a cat/kitten for as little as two days, a couple of weeks, or longer. It's up to you. Please contact us! https://forgottencats.org/foster-a-cat/
