About Barnacle and his mom

Barnacle, affectionately known as Barney, is a delightful young kitten with a playful spirit and an endearing nature. He has the softest gray and white fur with a touch of torbie pattern, perfect for cuddling. Currently, he’s in foster care alongside his mom, Coral, who brings a bit of spice to their relationship but has become much more relaxed since her spay. Together, they share adorable moments playing and napping in each other's company. Sadly, Barney and Coral often get overlooked while his sisters find homes. Both are ready for a loving family and will come with supplies and a month’s worth of food and litter. Remember, off to a great start in their new home is key for these two. By adopting them, you’re helping combat the norm of letting moms be left behind. If you're interested in bringing this sweet duo into your home, don’t wait too long!
