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.
