About Barney and Wynstan
*In foster care in Erskineville, Sydney*
We’d love to say Barney and Wynstan are two wise old boys, but they seemingly share a single brain, and depending on the day either one might possess the majority of it. Extremely gentle and relaxed, little fazes them these days; not even the vacuum makes them stir!
Grey-and-white Barney seeks out human company a little more than his black-and-white brother. A cuddle session with Barney is never a static activity. He’ll roll over for a belly rub, seemingly forget why he’s lying down, walk away, and then flop over again. A very quirky boy :)
Wynstan enjoys lazing around and is usually content taking in the action as a casual observer. He appreciates the presence of his humans and is often napping in line-of-sight. He has a soft, cute meow, and after all these years his language is yet to be deciphered. He’ll do most of his yapping in or around the kitchen, seemingly forgetting he’s just eaten (or trying his luck). He does love his food!
Like all Maggie's pets, Barney and Wynstan are microchipped, desexed and vaccinated.

OUR IDEAL HOME: We're very easy to please! We like a cushy place to nap and we're most happy to do this out in the open. (Barney will sometimes take a timeout somewhere hidden or dark.) For the most part, we just appreciate being around our humans as you potter about the house. We will seek some quiet if the energy becomes a little too high or loud, but we quickly warm to new faces.
OUR ENERGY LEVEL: At this stage in our career, we're total chillers - for the most part. Barney does still have a very playful side, and when his arch-nemesis The Laser comes out, watch him move like he’s young again! Wynstan is his biggest fan, usually from the sidelines.
OUR SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Although we've not lived with children, we think our gentle, easy-going temperament would suit equally gentle kids!
OUR SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: Having lived most of our lives with four other siblings, we'd prefer to retire to a home without other pets. But we'd also do just fine in a home with one other low-key, non-dominant cat. Definitely no dogs though, please!

Adoption details
We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at https://form.jotform.co/92940837256870. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile to streamline your enquiry.
Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two-week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
Please consider, that a Maggie's Pet is a pet for Life, before adopting.
