About Barney

Barney is a medium-sized male Domestic Short Hair with a striking gray coat. He's a bit reserved, preferring to keep his distance while still enjoying the company of others.

Barney is part of a bonded pair with Bear, a black and white cat who absolutely loves to cuddle and thrives on attention. They complement each other well, with Bear's playful and friendly nature balancing Barney's more gentle demeanor. Together, they make a wonderful duo for anyone looking to adopt two affectionate felines. These boys are currently at Petsmart in Paramus, NJ. Reach out if you're interested in meeting them!
