My story

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

Meet Barneby, a sweet, gentle soul whose journey from the streets to a warm barn home was filled with uncertainty, but also with hope. Once a kitty at risk in a shelter, saved then to barn home life, Barneby found himself in need of care after the harsh cold took its toll on his health. But fate had a beautiful plan in store for him. When humans stepped in to offer the medical attention and warmth he desperately needed, Barneby knew he had found his place in the world.

It didn’t take long for him to trust again. In the safety of human care, Barneby blossomed into the affectionate, happy boy he is today. With his big, rumbling purrs and his love for being showered with attention, Barneby is the ultimate lap cat. He adores being petted, doted over, and simply being near you. His gratitude shines through in every sweet nuzzle, and his playful, silly side never fails to make you smile.

Barneby’s heart is full of joy, and his spirit is proof that love and kindness can heal even the most uncertain of beginnings. He’s not just a cat – he’s a reminder of how resilient and wonderful life can be when we have the love and care we deserve. And with his loving nature, Barneby will forever be the happy, grateful kitty who knows that home is where the heart is.

Barney loves everyone, every kitty, and every dog he meets! He should be adopted along with his housemate Princess or into a home with another kitty who will snuggle, play and be his friend.

You must be a US citizen or green card holder.

Adoption Process

Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
