Bartholomew/Looking for a barn cat position Domestic Short Hair Medfield, MA

Two-year-old Bartholomew is looking for a position as a barn cat. This handsome guy was found as a stray, so we know nothing about his past. He is a confident guy who knows what he wants. He is not afraid to let you know when he doesn't want to be patted, which we're finding to be pretty often. He is not unfriendly, but he likes everything to be on his own terms. He enjoys watching the birds outside the window and lounging around, but he will also take a swipe at you when he feels like it. We think he would be happier if he weren't an indoor-only pet. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on his vet care. Barn cats need shelter, food, water, and ongoing care. In exchange, they provide rodent control. Bartholomew will need to be confined in a tack room or other space for the first 4 weeks to acclimate to his new home, caretakers, and feeding routine. If you have a barn that needs a barn cat, we would love to introduce you to him.
