About Van Gogh
🐾 Meet Van Gogh 🐾
Golden Oldie | Adoption Fee: $50
Van Gogh is a truly gorgeous senior gentleman with a heart as big as his personality.
This super‑affectionate boy absolutely adores human company and will happily soak up all the pats, cuddles, and attention you're willing to give.
If you're looking for a loving companion who wants nothing more than to be near you, Van Gogh is your guy.
Van Gogh has had one ear removed due to a previous medical issue, and he is blind in his right eye-but don't let that fool you. None of this slows him down or dampens his spirit!
He navigates his world just fine and takes everything in stride. These little quirks are simply part of what makes him unique and even more lovable.
Classed as one of our Golden Oldies, Van Gogh is enjoying his senior years in comfort. He's a little on the chunky side and could lose a bit of weight... but honestly, at his age, he can have whatever he wants (within reason 😉). He's earned it!
If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet, affectionate senior who will reward you with endless love, Van Gogh is ready to meet you. 💛🐱

Due to the high volume of emails received, enquiries with a request for a specific appointment with phone details included will receive a response as priority over generic applications which state they are interested in meeting an animal.
Adoption details
BARC adoption officers will work with you to help you find a dog or cat that matches your needs, they will discuss things like yard fencing, exercise requirements, other pets and family members, lifestyle factors, and breed experience. To help make this as quick and easy as possible, we ask you complete and adoption questionnaire (located on our website, or you can complete on when you visit). This helps ensure that we are introducing you to the most suitable animals we have available.
We encourage all members of the household to attend a meet and greet with a pet prior to adopting an animal. If the animal being adopted is a dog, we will also require existing dogs in the household to attend the shelter as part of the meet and greet.
Holds can not be placed on animals over the phone, and can only be applied at the discretion of management.
