Adopt A Working Barn / Shop Cat

Typical reasons a cat may qualify:

• Too feisty for an indoor home
• Shy or fearful of people
• Inappropriate litter-box habits (after medical causes have been ruled out)

How it works

• The cat must remain kenneled inside the barn 24/7 for a mandatory 4-week adjustment period before release.
• During those four weeks please feed fresh food daily (canned food is recommended to help the cat settle), provide fresh water, and scoop the litter daily.
• After the four weeks, the cat may be released to begin working on rodent control.

Why the kennel period? 

This 4-week transition greatly reduces the risk the cat will run away after release and increases the chance the barn becomes their permanent home.

Other notes

• We try to keep colonies and siblings together, so please be flexible about the number of cats you’re willing to adopt.

By adopting a Working Cat, you agree that:

• Fresh food and water will be provided daily for the life of the cat.
• The cat will live in a four-sided well-insulated building.
• The cat’s building is far from a busy road. 
• There are no coyotes or other predators frequenting your property.
• A cat shelter will be provided for inclement or cold weather.
• If the cat becomes ill or injured, you will seek veterinary care.

All of our cats are spayed/neutered and have received rabies vaccination and ear tip, along with initial flea and worm treatment! 

$50 is our suggested donation per cat to cover their veterinary care and supplies.
