Some cats who end up at our shelter cannot adapt to indoor living for various reasons. They may be feral (i.e., born and raised in the wild), under-socialized and prefer little to no human contact, or friendly but never lived indoors and prefer the outdoor life. Whatever the reason, we still believe these cats deserve a happy life and can be placed with families who value them as much as we do.
Why adopt a barn cat?
Adopting a barn cat can be a mutually beneficial relationship—you will be saving the life of a healthy cat and they can help scare off small, pesky rodents! To people who qualify, barn cat adoption is FREE.
Barn cats are:
- Spayed/neutered.
- Up to date on vaccinations.
How to adopt a barn cat
You will need to provide:
- Safe, permanent shelter with an area of weather-proof covering.
- Continuous fresh food and water.
- Veterinary care when needed.
- Acclimation time.
To ensure the cats acclimate and do not run away, they must be kept in a large homing crate in their new environment for a minimum of three weeks. After their acclimation period, they should be given free range of their new home.
