My story

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

Meet Bartholomew, the cat who has quite literally seen it all. Born in the medieval era, this ancient feline was once the trusted advisor to knights and kings, helping Sir Whiskers of Pawington devise battle plans and ensure the kingdom’s supply of catnip was never depleted. Legend has it, he was the first cat to sit on a throne—albeit briefly before being bribed down with a turkey leg.

Bartholomew has navigated through the Renaissance (painted many a masterpiece by flicking his tail on canvases), sailed the seven seas as a pirate captain’s first mate, and lived through the invention of the laser pointer (a particularly humbling experience). These days, he prefers lounging on plush cushions and overseeing household affairs, ever the noble scholar in search of a warm lap and a sunbeam. He may appear to nap, but in his dreams, he’s still conquering kingdoms and guarding the realm from the scourge of vacuum cleaners.

Adopt this living legend, and prepare yourself for a lifetime of stories... assuming he doesn’t doze off halfway through telling them.

Additional adoption info

We encourage everyone interested in adopting a new pet to come visit the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter to view the wonderful selection of cats, dogs and small animals we have available for adoption. When you see an animal you are interested in, come in as soon as possible as we are first come, first serve and are unable to place HOLDS on pets over the phone.

Speak to an Adoption Counselor at our Adoption Center regarding your interest to adopt and they will advise you of the Hold and Adoption process. All pets adopted from our facility are microchipped, spayed or neutered and vaccinated for Rabies prior to being released to the adopter. This is required by Texas State Law for any animal adopted from an animal shelter or rescue group. We do allow out of area adoptions as long as the selected pet is old enough to receive these services prior to being released to the adopter.
