Working Cat Program
What is the Working Cat Program?
The Working Cat Program is designed for healthy, sterilized, vaccinated, and microchipped cats that thrive in non-traditional home environments.
These cats excel in settings like barns, stables, auto repair shops, woodworking shops, wineries, breweries, greenhouses, nurseries, garden centers, churches, storage facilities, and warehouses, providing a natural solution to rodent control.
Why Adopt a Working Cat?
Working cats are self-reliant and prefer minimal human contact. They help control vermin populations and require daily food, water, veterinary care as needed, and shelter.
By adopting a working cat, you provide them with a safe home and contribute to reducing the overpopulation of feral cats.
Adoption Details
Cost: $75 adoption fee. Donations are welcome to sustain the program.
Initial Confinement: Confine the cat in an escape-proof room or enclosure for 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new surroundings. Provide food, water, a litter pan, and a hiding spot.
Care Requirements: Provide shelter, daily food and water, and veterinary care as needed. The property should be away from busy roads for safety.
Relocation Period: After the initial confinement period, the cats can be released to roam and start working.
