For a while, Barsik lived at a car service nearby, then settled with some workers who lived close by, but he always lingered near the animal shelter. Eventually, he moved in, but he preferred to keep his distance and not live in the common area.

Calm and grateful

Barsik doesn’t like large gatherings, but he’s one of the first to dash to the bowls during mealtime. He keeps his distance from strangers but adores those who feed and pet him. He will follow such a person around like a little dog, purring happily. Barsik has prepared himself for the move to a new home, learning to use the litter box and scratching post. He can live in a house with children.

Searching for a home that needs some purring comfort

Even Barsik's name sounds warm and homely, making it hard to imagine this handsome boy in a shelter. Support him in finding a home—help cover the advertising costs, and we will share his announcement on social media with people from his city. Help the animal shelter cover the expenses for this tabby while he waits for his new home—consider buying a Kitty Day or Kitty Month for Barsik.
