Barney is the little Einstein that everyone loves. "I love how frazzled and crazy Barney always looks, no matter how many baths or brushings," said Barney's foster mom, falafelicious.

Barney was brought to her foster care when he was still a wee kitten. His sister didn't make it, but after lots of TLC and antibiotics, the ginger boy had a full recovery and couldn't wait to explore around and discover new things.

With the vet's approval, Barney was introduced to Charlie, a resident cat who became Barney's surrogate "mama" until he was brought back to the shelter and ready for his forever home.
