Ideal residents for barns or stables!

 

Sometimes cats that come into our care are not suited for adoption, usually because they are feral or semi-feral.  We believe that all cats deserve a good home to live out their lives and so for these special cats, we need good barn homes.  All barn cats are healthy, altered cats and are suited for the outdoor environment with shelter. 

 

The barn cats have been sponsored by P.E.T.S.—sterilized, vaccinated (rabies and distemper), and microchipped.  There is no charge to the caretaker to adopt a barn cat (a $10 donation is always appreciated).  However, the caretaker must sign a contract agreeing to certain responsibilities.  The caretaker must:

 

▪ not have dogs that kill cats,

▪ provide daily food and water,

▪ provide protection from the elements (a sheltered area like a barn or other warm, dry building),

▪ provide temporary, confined shelter for at least 1-2 weeks,

▪ and provide long-term veterinary care (i.e., not allow an injured or sick cat to simply suffer).

 

New caretakers should be prepared for a brief period of adjustment. Moving to a new home is stressful for anyone, cats included! After a short stay in secure confinement (like a garage), the cats will accept their new home and be chasing mice out of your grain with enthusiasm.

Very Shy or Feral

Needs a Good Home

 

I am very shy but I still deserve a chance at life.  I would like to live on a farm where I can roam and be free but also have a nice, warm place to sleep.  Can you give me that home?  In return, I promise to catch as many mice as possible!
