In the streets of New Jersey, a thin and scruffy feline was found wandering aimlessly. Without any companionship, the cat was enduring a tough life. Fortunately, the cat was rescued and taken to Voorhees Animal Orphanage. After being in their care, the caretakers were surprised to find out that this tabby was not only 15 years old but also friendly and affectionate. Allow me to introduce you to Barnaby the cat!
As a veterinarian, Dr. Sheehan conducted a thorough health assessment on him, which included blood tests, and the entire clinic was immediately smitten with him. Barnaby confidently roamed around the premises as if he had been there forever, and he effortlessly captured the hearts of everyone who crossed his path.
Rachel, a veterinary technician at the clinic, shared that during their floor cleaning tasks, a cat would follow closely to ensure they didn’t miss any spots. Furthermore, at the end of her shift, the cat would sit on her lap to oversee her bookkeeping. Fortunately, the feline’s condition has improved since administering antibiotics, as he has gained almost a pound and his coat looks healthier.
Barnaby is a lively and enthusiastic character, even though he’s not a young cat anymore. He loves his senior diet and looks forward to being brushed every day. Moreover, he never misses taking his medication, and he doesn’t fuss about it.
Taking care of an elderly cat can be quite challenging, with several health issues that require constant attention. Fortunately, Dr. Sheehan and his wife were the perfect match for Barnaby. Upon seeing his picture, they knew they had to take action and provide a loving home for this deserving feline. According to Clare, Barnaby is more than just a pet – he is a beloved member of their family. In fact, the entire staff dotes on him, and he reciprocates their love with equal affection.
Barnaby’s appetite can be limited at times, so the nurses make sure to spoon-feed him cat food gravy with extra vitamins mixed in. The veterinarian noticed that his pupils were dilated, which may be due to his age and decreased vision. However, Barnaby has adapted well to his new environment and is receiving plenty of love and attention. He has a cheerful disposition and our goal is to keep him healthy and happy for the remainder of his life. Although we don’t know what he went through before, his vet dad, myself, and the rest of our team will provide him with the love and care he deserves. Barnaby has found the ideal home to spend his golden years.
