Plenty of Pets
Barry was caught while feral cats were being trapped. He was posted as ‘lost’ but no one came forward, so he was tested for disease, treated for parasites, vaccinated and neutered. He’s an affectionate boy and doesn’t mind living with other cats.
His adoption fee is $175.
If you’d like to learn more about Barry, contact Carma Cat Rescue’s Colchester chapter on Facebook , email [email protected] or call 902-957-8677.
