Adopters up to August 18 will also receive a complimentary care package to help their new family member settle in smoothly. Each care package will include a 12-month RSPCA veterinary care voucher, one month of Advocate Flea and Tick prevention from Elanco, a KONG enrichment toy and 2kg of feline food from Royal Canin. “BARC, like most RSPCA NSW shelters across the state, has seen an influx in animals entering our care this year,” Feline Behaviour Trainer Amber Logan-Jones said.
“By waiving adoption costs and providing new owners with care packages, we hope we can help each of these deserving cats find the loving families they have been waiting for.” One special feline hoping for a second chance at life is one-year-old tabby cat Rafiki. “Rafiki is a beautiful cat who has sadly been with us for 520 days; almost his entire life has been spent in a shelter,” Logan-Jones said.
“He is a really loving boy who just wants a warm lap to cuddle up on and a family that can show him that same love back.” Although adoption costs are waived, normal adoption procedures will apply to ensure every animal is matched with the right family. If you would like to see all of the cats available for adoption at BARC, including Rafiki, you can do so at To make an appointment to meet and potentially adopt any of the cats that currently call the shelter home, call 4372 2044 or fill out an expression of interest online.
