He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Barney tends to be shy and sensitive, so he thrives best in a calm, low-stress environment. He may take a little time to come out of his shell and feel secure, especially since he arrived from a home with other cats. Although he enjoys the company of fellow felines and gets along well with children, new experiences may overwhelm him. Patience will go a long way in helping him adapt.
