About Barbara

Barbara has an adorable heart-shaped marking right on her nose, a fitting detail for such an affectionate cat. She loves napping in the sun and enjoys playing with toys. As she explores her world, she's still mastering the finer points of being a cat, including a few fun adventures. Barbara made her way to The Wildcat Sanctuary when she was left outside during the night, pregnant and uncertain. Just days later, as she was rushed to the vet, she gave birth to four kittens right in the clinic. This little lady thrives on a consistent diet since she can be a bit finicky with food. Her new family will want to maintain her routine for a happy tummy. Barbara is excellent with kids and has mingled with other cats and dogs, though a slow introduction is wise for new furry friends. She's eager to find a loving family to share her abundance of affection.
