While every effort is made to find indoor homes for friendly cats and return unsocialized cats to their colonies, sometimes an outdoor cat may be in a situation where returning to the original colony area is not an option (due to safety or other reasons). In situations where a cat cannot be returned, a new outdoor home becomes a necessity. If you have a barn, workshop, or property that could use some extra rodent control, this is where you can help by adopting a working cat (more commonly known as a barn cat)!

Adopting a barn cat is an excellent choice for both your property and the cat's well-being. These resilient felines are not only natural pest controllers, effectively managing rodent populations, but they also thrive in outdoor environments, making them ideal companions for farms, stables, and rural homes. By bringing a barn cat into your space, you provide a safe haven for a cat that may not be suited for typical indoor life.

Barn cats require minimal maintenance; once they’ve settled in, they only need food, water, and shelter. Their independent nature means they explore and patrol the property, ensuring that pests stay at bay. Additionally, adopting a barn cat supports the principles of trap-neuter-release, contributing to the reduction of feral cat populations in the community. This mutually beneficial arrangement enriches the lives of both the cats and the caretakers, ensuring a healthier and happier environment.

Choosing to adopt a barn cat is a beneficial decision for you and a vital contribution to your community. You’re not just gaining a furry friend; you’re helping a cat find its purpose and ensuring it has a safe place to call home. Make a difference today by considering adopting a working cat – it’s an investment in both your livelihood and the life of a deserving animal.
