IF YOU HAVE A STABLE OR BARN, HELP SAVE A CAT!!
Our Barn Cat Program
Sometimes we have cats who cannot live as house pets. Cats in our barn cat program fall into two categories:
____________________________________________________
Cats who are just too independent to appreciate being cooped up in cages here at the Shelter!
Cats who are shy/fearful of people, and prefer the company of other cats and animals .
We do not adopt cats who are suitable to be house pets to barns, only cats without other options. This is the last chance for these cats; they have nowhere else to go .
________________________________________________________
If you have a working barn or safe, heated outbuilding, there are cats who need you. Having a barn cat or cats will help keep down the rodent population. The cats will be helping you, while you provide them a safe place to live.
And, because these cats are already spayed/neutered, you won't have to worry about endless litters of kittens appearing!
What we provide __________
All cats available for adoption to barns are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. When you adopt a barn cat(s), we will go over with you how to acclimate your new cat(s) to the barn and make them feel at home.
The $10-20 adoption fee for barn cats helps us cover some of their medical costs. Since many of these cats thrive on the company of other cats.
_______________________________________________________
What you need :
The farm or barn owners who adopt the cats agree to give them:
shelter in barns, buildings, or stables
daily food and water - cats cannot live on mousing alone
long-term veterinary care, as needed (they're neutered and vaccinated now)
a secure place to keep them for the first 2-3 weeks, while they acclimate to your barn. This can be a tack room, or any secure indoor enclosure that they cannot escape from.
If you have a working barn or safe, heated outbuilding, there are cats who need you. Save a life - adopt a barn cat today! To find out what barn cats we have available, please call us at 565-0864
