About Barbara

Meet Barbara, an approximately two-year-old DSH calico girl who found her way to Stafford County Animal Shelter as a stray. Initially scared, she has blossomed into a gentle and sweet companion, thanks to the TLC from the staff. Barbara thrives in a quieter environment, as a busy household may be overwhelming for her. Her background with other cats, dogs, or children remains unknown, which is something to consider if you're thinking about adding her to your family. Barbara is not yet spayed, so she needs adopters residing in Stafford, King George, Prince William, Fauquier, Spotsylvania, Caroline, Culpeper, or the City of Fredericksburg. The adoption fee is $35, and adoptions are based on a first-come, first-served basis. Remember to bring a picture ID or something that shows your current address when you come to meet her. Let Barbara find her forever home with you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
