Barnies Place

Founded in 2020, Barnie's Place Feline Rescue seeks to  impact our mid-Missouri community by bringing passionate volunteers and compassionate adopters together to create a place where all furry felines can live a life of comfort and love.  As such, we invest all of our efforts into each animal in our care, regardless of their circumstances and challenges.  

Barnie's Place was created in memory of a cat named Barnie who was originally trapped in January 2015.  Our mission is to provide care and a loving home for cats who are stray/feral, have challenging medical needs, or other reasons why they might be deemed unadoptable.  Our group limits the cats in our care to ensure every cat will be given love and medical care so they can enjoy quality of life until the end.  Cats are family!

Our vision is to have a place of our own, "Barnie's Place," in conjunction with foster homes and adoptive homes so cats live a life with comfort and love. These cats might be FIV positive, FELV positive, have other challenging medical needs, and/or are semi-feral.

A significant part of our work is Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR) and education for caretakers and local communities on the benefits of TNR.  Friendly strays and kittens are placed in adoptive homes. We also network extensively with other TNR and rescue groups to help as many outside cats as possible.
