Our Barn Cat Program

Adoption Fees & What's Included

Adoption fee: $125
 
All barn cats are at least 6 months old, come spayed or neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FELV. They may or may not have an ear tip, making identification easy if they get trapped by someone on a neighboring property.

Give an unowned cat a chance at the life it deserves in the great outdoors! In return, you’ll keep the rodent populations down on your property.

Our Barn Cat Program saves cats from euthanasia to give them the best possible chance at a life with purpose. Most of these cats will never be tame but some do warm up to human presence. If you’re looking for a tame cat as a pet, fill out our house cat adoption application.

Before you trap an unowned cat…

Cat colonies thrive best when trapped, spayed/neutered, and returned to where they came from. Many well-meaning people trap colonies with the belief that separating them and finding adoptive homes (or barns) is in the cats’ best interest. The opposite is true! While we are excited to give these cats a second chance, it is always our primary goal to keep colonies together. Separation is the last-ditch effort if no other solution can be found to give all cats the lives they deserve.

Barn Cat Inquiry

How It Works

 

Inquiry

Get in touch with us using the contact form below to start an inquiry for barn cat adoption. We’ll ask a few questions over the phone to see if a barn cat is right for you.

Property Visit

Before official adoption, we will make sure your property is suitable for a barn cat.

Cat Drop-off and Setup

On adoption day, we’ll drop off the cats, their housing, and a few other supplies to get started. We’ll also give you a debriefing on setting everyone up for success.

Settling In

Barn cats need 3-4 weeks to become familiar with their new environments. During this time, you will care for them in enclosures that will ensure their safety and well-being.

Release

Once the cats are ready to be released, we will guide you through the process and return to your property to collect our supplies. The next barn cats need us!
