Working Cats! Domestic Short Hair Marshfield, WI

Do you have a mouse problem?

Do you need an experienced hunter?

The Marshfield Area Pet Shelter offers a second chance to cats that prefer to be outdoors by finding them outdoor locations to call home. All cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated prior to being adopted. There is no fee to adopt an outdoor cat, but a donation is appreciated.

CATS THAT QUALIFY FOR THE OUTDOOR CAT PROGRAM:
• Cats who are under-socialized and fearful of people
• Cats who don’t want physical contact with people
• Cats who prefer the companionship of other cats instead of people
• Cats who are accustomed to being outside and cannot adjust to life indoors

ADVANTAGES TO HAVING AN OUTDOOR CAT:
• Cats are spayed/neutered, so they can no longer reproduce
• Cats have set territories and will discourage new cats from coming onto the property
• Cats will keep the mice and other vermin population low

WHAT YOU MUST PROVIDE:
• Barn, workshop, or other outdoor building with indoor/outdoor access
• Willingness to confine cat inside building for a minimum of two weeks with food, water, and litter box — this helps them to become accustomed to their new home so they don’t run away
• Daily supply of dry cat food and fresh water
• Monitoring the well-being and safety of the cats

If you or anyone you know is able to provide these deserving cats with an outdoor location to call home, please complete our Working Cat Contact Form at www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/working-cats-program.
