Barn Buddies
Want to provide shelter & care for a cat not matched for indoor living?
Barn Buddies are wild, feral cats that cannot be adopted out through our typical adoption program. They are not aggressive, but they aren’t your typical cuddle bug either. For the most part, Barn Buddies keep to themselves. They keep a watchful eye over your barn while providing their excellent mousing skills.
Why Adopt a Barn Cat?
Barn cats are incredibly good mousers. Many people who own farms seek out barn cats as a safe alternative to pesticides. It is also incredibly fulfilling to provide this type of feline with a safe alternative to the typical home environment. Barns are not the only place that barn cats also referred to as feral cats, can thrive.
Warehouses and other buildings where they have the freedom to be who they are with the security of access to food, water, shelter, and veterinary care if needed, are perfect for them. If you have a barn, stable, or outdoor housing, you can provide a home for cats not matched for indoor living.
