Bart was found on a back road in Berkeley County, W.V. in July of 2017 as a young kitten. He lived as a barn cat, where he enjoyed chasing mice and the occasional horse back ride with boarders. He loved everyone who came to the barn, including kids.

Bart followed one of our staff members for about a year, and managed to sneak in her car a few times. She finally decided to take him in and give him a life indoors. Bart came in to the clinic to be seen by Dr. Katie and never left.

He has loved being indoors since day one, and quickly adjusted to life in a clinic. Bart enjoys laying in the sun, sitting in clients’ laps, being pet, standing and laying in inconvenient places, and meal time.
